"How a man perceives the world is only a reflection of how they perceive themselves."
Esteemed Phra Fuk Mee Sil Hee ,
Expectations of the Heart [Part 17]
Truth be told that in many of your threads there's an unhappy puppy complaining.
After all it is a predominantly a farang forum - so it might be the purr-fect place for indignation and complaining.
Strange that you're still a long way from home traveling in SE Asia.
What do your friends back home tell you ?
That you're a lucky bastard to be fooking off to an exotic land amongst beaches in warm climes smoking ganja with so many beautiful, young, petite lasses dropping their panties at bargain prices even affordable to a young lad on a teach-ee Engrish salary ?
(You're complaining and yet -you haven't even been robbed , beaten up or worse !)
Did you like the Philippines...or haven't you been ?
"World-class Catholics" , the Bishop concurred with the Pope.
When you're an older man doing the 9-to-5 you'll well understand how lucky you were without ever fully appreciating or being aware at the time. Just my take.
Good luck in your travels...try to smile.
