traffic... Hi
I hope that my article didn't offend you. It was never my intention to offened Thai people. For me it is all very interesting to see because it is just so much different from other places I have been to and lived. Believe me, I have traveled many countries and seen many things. I have lived many years in America, Spain and Australia. And I do agree that those countries use their horns to express their agressions and frustrations. And I also agree that looser law enforcement would cause a lot of trouble in those countries.
Please accept my apologies if my words offended you.
Please do undestand though that whatever I write is just a personal opinion and experience and other travellers may not see things the same way I see them. Quite honestly, many travelers I have seen and met here stay for only a short period of time, a 2 week holiday on the beach etc... and they don't get to see many things that I will see throught a 3 months' travel period. And I am sure that your experiences abroad are unique and personal too and others may not see things the same way. Everything is very personal, isn't it.
Happy Travels :-)
I am a Thai who have been to London, Frankfurt, Rome, Lucerne, Chicago and New York. Frankly speaking, I have never felt that life in Thailand is 100 years behind that in all those places mentioned. Regarding horns, Thai drivers are not more obsessed with blowing their horns than their counterparts in England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland or USA. On the contrary, I found American drivers very impatient with traffic condition and tended to use horns to voice their frustration. There are not much less traffic rules here than what you have in your country, believe me. You see frequent breaking of rules in Thailand because of lax law enforcement. Anyway, I trust that if laws are equally loosely enforced back in your country, there surely will be widespread violence or riots.
great photos!!! Hi you,
us again. Wir wollten nur noch mal schreiben, wie toll wir Deine/Eure Photos finden. Der Tee war zu Greifen nah, so einige andere Dinge aber auch :-)
Love, Vera and Andreas
reading and laughing Hallo Bärbel,
wir haben mit viel Freude und Lachen Dein "little chapter" gelesen. Du hast es so gut beschrieben, dass wir es uns so gut vorstellen konnten, even the tastes and smells. :-) Wir hoffen noch mehr von Dir bzw. Euch zu hören, äh zu lesen und sehen. Keep writing!
Ganz liebe Grüße
Vera und Andreas
