| Owning lots of stuff seems to interfere with my pursuit of materialism. My time in Thailand is fairly minimal in terms of personal property. I need my TV, CD/DVD player, digital camera and some basic furniture, but little else. And yet I've always immersed myself in the material world with the best food and partying I've experienced anywhere. Living in Thailand is a different kind of materialism, a place where one can enjoy the greatest material and sensual comforts while owning a lot fewer things than we're used to back in the West. |
