    Life in Isaan

    The other day I was cleaning house. I do most of the housework because cleaning gives the little woman a headache, she is pron to headaches.When cleaning off the kitchen counter, I found a bag off dog puke.I was so proud of my old streetdog Lek, he had learned to puke in a plastic bag.I did wonder why he put it on the kitchen counter, but I didn't dwell on it I was just so proud that he had learned to puke in a plastic bag.I was so happy that I stopped cleaning went to pat Lek on the head and give him a belly scratch.Later that afternoon I heard the little woman rumaging around in the kitchen. Soon I heard her grumbling about where is my food? It was on the kitchen counter.You know a Thai woman is very touchy about her food. So there was only one thing to do, I pretended to be stupid.I told her, you know that damned old streetdog has no manners and likes to steal things. I'll beat his ass if I can catch him.Then I went and gave Lek a pat on the head and a good belly scratch.I love that old streetdag.

    Not to worry, you'll be going home soon.

    the grass is not always greener on the other side. I am speaking from experience. Five years here and soon I will be going home with my tail between my legs and broke.

    Certain products have been banned from my household. Anything that smells akin to my arse after a liver sausage and brussel sprout binge should be made illegal.

    That and that Cha-Om shite in mine - I don't know how it managed it, but somehow a vegetable that smells like a dead dog has found its way onto the markets.

    Don't dogs eat their own vomit? that faux vomit you purloined from the wife was quite probably an Isaan delicacy, something like fresh cows afterbirth lovingly mixed with a bitter roadside vegetable. Shame on you.

    I will explain a couple things. WTF Why do I clean the house? Because I got snagged by a worthless Isaan [at][at][at][at]. The only thing an Isaan girl knows how to clean is her plate. And I can not live like these Isaan village people. Why do I stay? I stay to raise my baby.I can not leave my baby here to be raised Isaan stupid.My daughter will learn to use her brain for something besides a menu.So I stay here to raise my baby and try to keep a sense of humor about the situation.

    The recipe goes like this:

    Grill two penis-like sausages. Add some steamed green vegetables of unclear origin. Add some mashed potato-like substance. Pour two pints of Guinness. Wait for Guiness to settle. Throw plate over left shoulder. Drink Guinness.

    Will, do you spend your late afternoons/evenings pyschologically assaulting people with this weeks copy of Watch Tower? The steam green vegetables are cleary brussels sprouts, ideal for emptying rooms of lingering guests on Boxing Day.

    Where I come from the preferred vegetable is chicken.

    (P.S. I don't get the Watch Tower reference??)

    Speak for yerself- my wife & MIL are fastidiously clean. I've given up on ever teaching them the simple discipline of putting things back where they came from though.

    You only have to if you are impoverished.

    Good for you.

    I reckon rural Isaan is great- the place, or rather the lifestyle, just keeps growing on me (like cancer). Dunno why it took so long to find here actually. If your wife is a bit of a waster, gedda mia noi as blakey says. It will also help keep your wife on her toes- a bit of competition (real or implied) does that to people.

    No offense, but a wee bit of sense there is probably a good idea. Rubbing a wifes nose in it in a small issan village or whatever is not really the safest thing to do.

    Strange things can happen to farangs who deliberately set out to break face in back country places.....

    ^ theres ways to go about it- one of the first of which is to discuss it with the wife.
    If nothing else, the implied threat will give her cause to think about the quality of her game.
    And, I hasten to add, never from the same village- unless they plan to shack up together in one happy household- but even then, wouldn't recommend mia from same moo ban.
    The way I see it, mentioning the thought or possibilty wouldn't carry much downside.

    Oh, and the mia noi thing was mainly meant as a joke. Unless he fancies 'feeding the ducks'...
