What do you miss most?

" ...Then just fire off a quick e-mail to Leo, and everything magically appeared in my kitchen later that afternoon.That was quite nice actually. Can't wait to do it again.

Probably a long wait depending on which country's jail you will soon be incarcerated in ... Thailand, Laos or Canada. (Probably more we don't know of).

Yeah, that's what the Canadian customs officer thought when I was pulled into secondary too. He was absolutely convinced there was no way a country would be so harsh as to blacklist you for 5 years just for an overstay, and there must be more to it. Tried explaining to him that it's a military dictatorship who seemingly refuses to hold elections, and the general seems quite xenophobic, but he wasn't buying it.

Well, whatever. Sorry, I'm blind, so I don't really get to have secrets anymore in life.

Do you have any feel for how old and musty that quote has become? Even for those who actually believe you.

If you throw enough shit, some will stick.

With all due respect Smiles, "old and musty" could describe a considerable number of the esteemed membership here.

As I've said (often) Matt is a needy millenial. How many threads has he disrupted wittering on and on about himself, his blindness, Leo and those damn dogs!? Speaking of dogs, his behaviour is a bit like a dog padding around his neighbourhood, "marking" his territory. At least he now seems to have come to his senses and realised courtesy of one of our other posters that being admitted to Laos may not be the lay down misere he's assumed to date.

You do the time.. you do the crime!

Interesting discussion:

Unfortunately, I have never spent more than a month at a time in Thailand, so I do not really miss anything about anywhere when I am in Thailand.

Moreover, I have lived most of my life outside of Switzerland [I still use a Swiss passport]; and most outside of Europe.

What would I miss if I had the opportunity to live in Thailand for a long time? The change of seasons? A beautiful snowy day? Skiing in the Swiss Alps?

[francois]

werner, just where do you spend your time if not in Thailand, Switzerland or Europe?
