    Actually, among the type of folks in my family back home, Thailand or anywhere else in Asia is just too abstract a thing for them to have curiousity or formulate a question about. It gets back to small talk- "how's life? how's work?" in which they unwittingly demonstrate their total lack of imagination. Amusing and depressing at the same time.

    My friends ask more questions, but our interests have diverged. Most of them are straight, working on a family and/or divorced already; they're thinking about houses, families, careers; I'm a gay man who'll probably never own a house and for whom "career" has been a very loose concept. We have little in common.

    Uh...something like, "How was the flight?" Then, "So, have you thought about getting a real job?"

    I feel the same. Very few people I've met in USA have anything to say about anything outside their pathetic little sphere unless it has to do with sports, music or movie stars.

    Did you see any ladyboys?

    Did you see a ping pong ball show?

    Have you been to the Fullmoon party?

    Can you speak Thai? I learned some...sarwartdeee krooop.

    Is it full of Ching Chong Chinamen?

    ...and various other pisstakes of the stretching the eyes and "sweet and sour pork anna special flied lice" variety.

    along with 'when are you going to grow up' or 'isn't it time you called it a day and came back?' or 'how long do you think you can keep living like this?'

    It's not just the USA.

    Australians will interupt you from your exotic tales of the far east to inform you of "The filthy waves you missed out on last week" - because they often can't relate to anything outside their comfort zone..

    'how long do you think you can keep living like this?'
    Or the "You don't belong there" routine as well. Jeez, why shouldn't I be here (there)? Whenever I visit or hear about the details of friends and family's lives I wonder how that seems so exciting and great in comparison to the adventure that my life is every day in Thailand.

    But they really think that their new purple goiter and 100 year mortage is fascinating.

    A trip around the world involving whores, snakes, near death, crocodiles and weetabix is so boring that my friends think that I need to be told what has happened in Big Brother, Hollyoaks, Eastenders etc....

    I think they're worried that I might miss crap TV or they are just unable to carry on a decent conversation about anything else.

    Then again, maybe I shouldn't tell them about the time I got rogered up the arse by a ladyboy and required 25 stitches.... here..... have a look.....
