Sure - we have been out every day and they complain less about the temperature each time.
Mind you, it has been quite mild this week!

I heard a rumour that Christmas lunch in Gorbals house had been delayed until the 27th because that's when Bernard Mathews frozen turkey dinners are half price.
arsenal, you are a fucking sad human being.
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
That would certainly be true of someone with limited imagination. The Vietnamese diaspora is all over the world; there are Asians all over the world as travellers, students and residents. This sort of thing would only be interesting to someone with a colonial mentality, sheltered existence and, yes, limited intelligence and imagination - the sort of person who has to rent prostitutes in order to have some conversation.

An elderly Australian masquerading as a 25 year old Singaporean on a gay chat site takes a lot of imagination , I'd imagine.
Scottish guy's guests are not part of the Vietnamese diaspora. They live in Vietnam asaik. I don't think they are world travellers or students studying overseas.
So what point are you trying to make?
Whatever it is doesn't seem to relate to my comment at all. It relates more to me.
I think that was your intention.
The topic is SG's guests, not me.

I hope the holiday works out for you and guests but it's something I would never organise.
My relationships with my Thai 'buddies' be they short or longterm are very contextualised.
Part of the reason that I have a few longterm 'friends' is that a huge part of their day-to-day lives does not involve me.
They have their culture, (esp language/dialect) their local friends, their families, their routines, their special interests and so on.
Take them to very different physical and social environment and I fear you will find that boredom and loneliness will set in.
When this happens you can wear youself out trying to humour them which is bad for both parties.
But good luck at any rate.
And beware the thirsty cougars-they love exotic meat.
What about the photo of the pink Christmas tree as mentioned in post # 35?
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
Never mind the Christmas tree, I want to see a photo of the BF in his kilt.
