Learning frome The Wai

[Albert Shagnastier]

It just kicked off outside.

2 families against each other due to an argument between their sons who are motosai.

Bizarrely enough, after fighting with the father to get to the son (the away team) during the "fight stage", once they seperated they waaiied each other"

"Motorsai?" Sounds like some sort of futuristic android warrior? From Skylab?

So DID you learn anything from the wai ?

[Albert Shagnastier]

Yes, I learnt that Thais seperate violence and social etiquette.

Yes, I learnt that Thais seperate violence and social etiquette.

Meaning: It's quite the accepted decorum for Thai to become postal and go off on one another [and others], now and again.....within the socially accepted perimeters.

[Albert Shagnastier]

Not quite - but that rings true too.

What I meant was as a cultural difference (being English) if we fight we fight. Feelings strong enough to cause a fight would never allow a split second flick back to smiles and bows. Maybe it's got a lot to do with what you say too, as after all, their saturday afternoons are spent watching the most dangerous fighting in the world.
