"it's like back home, boring"

comment's i came across from some US tourist's to the wee islet.

and these are the same bunch of idiot's who'd praise thailand to the high heaven's.

don't get me wrong, it's not that i'm bitter. but what's the big deal about a country semi-populated by half-breed's who tend to end up as model's or telly actor's?

nasty, that.

it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why thailand is every western tourist's favourite. especially if they are male. apart from the stereotyped exoticism of the mysterious far east that every country in the region should appear to be. to the average clueless first-time western tourist at least.

instead of a shoddy copy of a city back home with the native's speakin english.

["why the hell are you people speakin english?" some total cunt hissed at me the other day. "why? you can't make fun of us speakin funny? or talkin to us in a condescending manner, slowly and loudly like a spastic?" i retort.]

anyhoo, when is the typical clueless first-time western tourist gonna learn it's their dosh em thai's are so hard up for? that by appearing genuinely oh-so warm and friendly, the farang would spend more?

homo mong's.

yep, some just want to re-live the colonial way of life especially in ex-colonies so they could behave obnoxiously towards the natives. and the irony is most hail from the council estates, who not only refuse to pick up the local language, but also seek emotional comfort with fellow expats with whom they could whinge and moan about the dim natives.

but on the other hand it is the equally obnoxious natives who thwart the expats' efforts to mingle. like i've had come across female expats who confided in me: "if only wee islanders are like you, letter b".

well, that's because i myself have had problems integratin with em that's why.

Have you ever noticed that when many from the UK want to live abroad, they don't want to assimulate into the population, they want to live where other Brits are. Why don't they just stay home?
