Preach on, Lord B! I take it you visit my homeland quite often too since you made references to Isan and Thailand.
It boggles my mind that everyone thinks all 'farang' are wealthy. There's some low life scumbags who traveled across the world to marry a woman who's 1/3 his age to treat her like a slave.
Like you, I respect those who work in hospitality. I simply don't have the patience to put up with all that nonsense. My aunt has a condo in BKK, and her neighbors are from Chicago....man, they're some nasty and rude folks. I snapped on them one day when I went back home....good times.
Those who haven't visited don't know, I'm afraid!
With that said, many Asian countries are beautiful, filled with curious and interesting people and are a joy to visit (some, less so -- looking at you, SCAMbodia!) But my take is that if you aren't there doing something serious with your time, you're probably a loser. And having a little bit more cash than everyone else in a poorer country doesn't make you any less of a loser, even if it can buy you a teenage bride and a foot massage.
You got it. Deep v even in winter
The funny part is that it takes a lot of money to really live that luxury lifestyle in a developing country. Cars are 2-3 times higher, so are luxury goods, ie timepieces and clothing.
Just curious, Lord B...where are you located? For some reason, I have always thought London, haha.
Do not work in China, very traumatic place to be speaking for 5 yrs experience, living in Beijing, Guangzhou,shenzhen and a handfulof other cities. Much better in the UK despite the economic conditions

What, attending the Job Centre every week or filling shelves at Tesco? TBH I'd had enough of been a security guard.
To make it work you have to find the right place. I've also been in Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai. Knowing Mandarin helps immensely as well.
