Thank you for your kind words, and yes, I look forward to the S5.
I've lived here for seven years. The life here has too many sides to describe, and it's important to remember that somebody who is not born here, can never become an intimate member of this society. Many think they can, but often, they don't even realize that neither thoughts nor language can be translated into our frame of reference. Sometimes words from the two worlds have similar meanings, but they rarely have the same value.
So although there are lots of dark sides to life here, those of us who come from the other side of the globe usually misunderstand the nature of the disaster. The real disaster is mostly hidden to us. And the real pleasures? We don't have a clue.
I've chosen to flow along at an easy pace, and prefer not to worry. I had a meeting with a good, local friend a couple of days ago, discussing some personal matters, and when I told him about my worries and what I would like to do with them, he said: "Jorgen, you're chasing an illusion".
But then, in his view, life is an illusion anyway, and as for life in Thailand, I tend to agree
