    Your top five things from your home country

    Can be anything

    Home country: UK

    1: Family- an obvious if rather cheesy nomination
    2. The ability to hop in a car, on a train or bus and be in the countryside for walking and pub exploring.
    3: Second hand book shops- the smell and general atmosphere just can't be replicated.
    4: Diversity- not going to be popular with the UKIP lot but I for one like walking around town and hearing many different languages and seeing different nationalities and cultures.
    5: The peace and quiet. I've mentioned that Mandalay is bloody loud- I've loved being able to get a full nights sleep. That said, my place in Thailand was also much quieter than Mandalay,too.

    Actually on a trip to see the folks in the U.K I regailed them with tails of the divine nature of Thai fruit...My mum amazingly came back from Sainsbury with a "som O" my favourite but we couldn't peal the fucker and it was a bit of a let down
    They champion falsehood, support the butcher against the victim, the oppressor against the innocent child. May God mete them the punishment they deserve
