I am so f ing sick of it, only a few more weeks to go! Than happily back home to where most people have their own car and we have food and health inspectors, and you can drive anywhere in a few minutes oh and yes, building and city inspectors to insure that our sidewalks are never treacherous like these here in freak show land bangkok!

You've got to love BKK. :) No matter where you live, there will always be stuff you hate. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am chilled to the bone on a nice July day in London, and that you don't walk out of the tube, you fall/throw yourself out. I've been coming to Thailand for holidays since I was in my mum's belly (still amazed they'd let a pregnant woman on a plane with the size of belly she had.. ), and I still do. Can't wait for November where I'll get my Thai fix. I've been dreaming of Bangkok for as long as I can remember, and I will some day root up all of my stuff and move there. With that said, it's been a while since I've read a blogpost that has made me giggle this much. People in my office will surely suspect me of being on something. I don't find that I have many problems with taxi drivers, except one time where the driver neither spoke Thai (!) or English. Usually we'll just strike up a chat about food and going to isaan. Maybe it's because I'm a girl, they don't feel the urge to drive me to dodgy places. ;) But what's up with the indian tailors? Why are there so many? Why do they know a sentence in my language? Why would I feel the need to buy one of their products after they've just told me it's cheaper than something from a horrible, horrible discount mall? I'd rather just head down to Big C (or MBK, or Paragorn, or Siam Square, or.. or.. or..) Ok, babbling, sry, am out of here.

Couldn't agree more. Farangs have made Thailand a much worse place than it was ooooh, long before my arrival. I liked it that the first thing in the list of 10 by the OP was “farangs”.
