It's probably prophetic that you preceded such a characterization with "but I suppose I won't know for sure until I'm in the country."
My guess is that you will have a new appreciation of your own words once theory encounters reality.  |
Hence my choice and arrangement of words to form sentences that convey a specific meaning. I'd never been to Jakarta before I went, and I wasn't sure what it was like until I got there.
Perhaps a little harsh on Dave's ESL, but it does comes across as a tad hysterical and lacking in perspective at times. It strikes me that many of the posts come from people fresh out of uni who haven't had much experience of life overseas, let alone in Asia. The more balanced views tend to come from older heads, who know that life can be shit wherever you are in the world.

I'm just in the early part of the process, pb, but will certainly do as you advise. Cheers.
