    Differences -- Thailand vs. home country

    Let's try to make a fun thread for once. :-) What are some of the things you experience here on a somewhat daily basis, that you'd never see in your home country?

    - Four of us on one scooter. I guess you could try that in Canada, but probably wouldn't make it more than 10 blocks without getting arrested.

    - The fact we can walk into a pub / karaoke, and order a whole bottle of decent tasting whiskey, with ice and mix, and a little food, plus have a waitress dedicated to your table ensuring your glass never goes below half, all for about $17 CAD (minus tip). I can't even get three one ounce drinks in a gay bar in Canada for that.

    - Amazing restaurants. Can't read the menu, can't order by yourself, and most of the times you don't know what the hell you're eating because the five minutes of sign-language and broken English just gets to be a hassle, so you just eat. Amazing feast, and if you split it between everyone there, it's cheaper than each person getting a Big Mac and McDonalds.

    - Manipulative and lieing bastards, but nonetheless, are generally down to earth. Being down to earth seems to be a fading trait in Western countries.

    Ok, time for me to goto bed. Tell us about the differences!

    Speak for yourself.

    Are you talking about Thailand, or back home? I can think of plenty examples from both places.

    Wow, talk about an excellent start to a thread that was meant to poke fun at each other, and have a bit of a laugh. Could you guys please remove the sticks from your asses a little bit, because I think they're shoved in a bit too far. My god...

    You obviously have problems with people poking fun at YOU. And I'm laughing my head off right now.

    Four? That's peanuts. Try almost double that. Seven.

    Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
