danny_blueeyes Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Do you eat bacon'n'eggs for breakfast or curry and rice? Are you fluent in Thai or have to mime taking a piss every time you need to use the bathroom? Do you hang out mostly with Thais or other Expats? Do you rarely stray from air-conditioned rooms or is your idea of "climate control" showering three times a day and covering yourself in cooling powder? Can you use chopsticks? Is the highlight of your year an extravagant Thanksgiving Day turkey feast or does it involve super-soaking your neighbors on Songran? If you're single, do you look for a new girlfriend in the clubs of RCA or the go-gos of Nana Plaza? Are you a Thai culinary expert or do you order fried rice every time because that's the only thing you know how to say? Are you more likely to chear on your favorite cricket team or your favorite muay thai fighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I knew I'd adapted when my Mum saw the bowl of rice porridge I was eating and eloquently described it as 'baby's vomit'. Also, the boiled chickens with the hooks through their throats no longer make me faint. Adaptation was mainly in the food area since Thailand's culture is very similar to my own anyway.

To be honest, as an outstander, I find Indian and Thai culture to be VERY different. Not better or worse, just different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeusbheld Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Do you eat bacon'n'eggs for breakfast or curry and rice? fried grasshoppers. well ok, not for brekky but they're excellent with beer. no wait, that WAS brekky.just that it happened at 8 pm. Are you fluent in Thai or have to mime taking a piss every time you need to use the bathroom? unfair question. i mime taking a piss every time i need to use the bathroom in english-speaking countries. Do you hang out mostly with Thais or other Expats? yes, i hang out mostly with thais or other expats when i'm in thailand. i'm in north carolina at the moment so strangely, not only are the people i'm hanging out with from the US, they all seem to be related to me. just a minute: "cletis! skillet! leave yer sister alone!" <<played off to "dueling banjos">> Do you rarely stray from air-conditioned rooms or is your idea of "climate control" showering three times a day and covering yourself in cooling powder? i need the heat on in north america in 70 degree weather in order to sleep.that's gotta count for something (although i do have an an aircon in bangers). Can you use chopsticks? of course i can i lived in new york. Is the highlight of your year an extravagant Thanksgiving Day turkey feast or does it involve super-soaking your neighbors on Songran? highlight of my year is a trip to anywhere with old carved rocks actually. If you're single, do you look for a new girlfriend in the clubs of RCA or the go-gos of Nana Plaza? found my girlfriend on special at testco-lotus. yes, i have style... khee nok style. Are you a Thai culinary expert or do you order fried rice every time because that's the only thing you know how to say? i point and grunt, same as i do anywhere else in the world (including norf cackalacka, right cletis?) generally it works out fine as street carts tend to have limited options. Are you more likely to chear on your favorite cricket team or your favorite muay thai fighter? i am more likely to volunteer to be boiled in oil than cheer on ANY cricket team. being forced to watch cricket would be a violation of my inalienable human rights. i follow football (soccer football, not that gridiron stand-around-and-do-nothin' game). generally i root for ajax amsterdam and chelski for various reasons, but i realize that if i were to go native i'd need a pickup truck smeared with liverpool stickers.

zeusbheld Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Or the ass gun, i use that to clean the toilet .......... the ass gun is the greatest invention of humanity's since the crapper itself! learn to use it. it needs to spread throughout the west, where we eat the kind of protein-rich, fiber-poor foods that are the primary source of mud-butt.
