I'll leave it be.

They could depict west/asian views of children.
The western child at a school desk, the asian child dancing naked at Carousel.

This one is not about queueing! it says about "to deal with the problem"Quote:

I would have to agree with most of those, as applying to Asians in general or Thais in particular. As noticed there are exceptions. Singaporeans are pretty punctual for example - but in broad brush strokes - spot on.
Good OP Mao.Quote:

A great way of depicting the differences between west and east. Very few words, so there can be no misinterpretations in what is trying to be put across. Mrs Ast agreed with most of it. The only thing she didnt agree with was this one.

Good thread
^ Personally I much prefer people who openly display their feelings than those who bottle them up only to explode at some future time.
There are many things about Thai behaviour that my time here has yet to make fully clear:
- Why do the boyfriends of secretaries in my office call their girlfriend non-stop for 30 minutes when the phone isn't answered because she has left it on the desk to go to a meeting? What kind of mental behaviour is that?
- Why do taxi drivers sound their horn at farangs? It's my guess that they see a white $ sign walking along and see an opportunity via a naive person with lots of money. They don't have the intelligence to realise that the farang can almost certainly recognise the bright red light in the windscreen and read the big English language TAXI sign on the roof. To them, if the farang hears the horn and uses their taxi, all is well, and if the farang doesn't use it, well it's only some random foreigner that the noise pollution has been inflicted on, so who gives a shit. Correct?

My post was about 2 different things: responding to Begbie's argument that Thais are good at queueing, and my personal favorite image of the lot.
Anything on the diagrams about being lethargic, short-sighted, face-orientated, and with little regard for the truth?
Do some up yourself Smeg. Must be pretty easy to do on a computer nowadays.
Or scribble em up and scan em in.
That's not my experience with Singaporeans. I find their punctuality much the same as Thais and also the Saudis that I've dealt with.Quote:

Another few they could have.
