Just some thoughts

So I thought I would collate some thoughts and observations together about my travels.  They are not in any particular order, just as they spring into my head.

1.  How can the Thais eat so bloody much and remain stick thin? You should see them put it away, it's shovelled In lol. Some of them are really petite, they must be a size 4 lol and that is just the lady boys lol.  If I lived here I would not get any clothes to fit me, it's bad enough in England but the good thing is my friends that the majority of you would be in the same boat as me because anything above a size 10 here looks massive.  Welcome to my world.  I can't imagine the difficulty I would have in buying a bra.  God only knows what I would do.  The women are very tiny where I have been blessed/cursed in abundance lol.

2.  Why do you only see older western men with younger Thai women? Yes girls, I know we all know the answer to that one ๐Ÿ˜ lol.

3.  How does any work get done.  More so in Cambodia than Thailand - there appears to be a lot of sleeping and hanging around, but wait for it, only by men.  You see tuk tuk and coach drivers either sound asleep in the back of the tuk tuk or they have strung a hammock up.  Lol I'm not saying anything lol these are my observations.

4.  Who does own the dogs and are there any vets in the Far East and if so, I bet they don't earn anything like in the UK.

5.  In both Thailand and Cambodia why have a green flashing (not literally girls) man at the traffic lights if they traffic still aims at you and does not stop lol?

6.  Why doesn't TFL (Transport for London) have priority seats for Bhuddist monks lol.

7.  Why does the whole world commute at 17:00?  After using the Skytrain and ferry in Bangkok rush hour I think the Northern Line is going to be a breeze!

8.  How many plastic bottles are being used daily around the world?

9.  The whole world is on a smart phone!  No one speaks to each other anymore.  Couples are sitting their tapping away including the monks lol!

10. The whole world are on Facebook or playing Candy Crush, or hooking up on Grindr or Tinder lol including the monks lol.

11. Everyone wants the wi fi code lol.

12. I don't want to see a McDonalds, Burger King, Hard Rock Cafe or Starbucks on every corner thank you America.  Where the cost of a meal (especially in the HRC) is more than people earn.  

13. Why am I so tasty to Mosquitos? But no one else whats a bite lol!

14. There are utter knobs in every country lol and they stand out even if you don't speak the language.

15. The british still think if you talk loudly and slowly people will understand.  Lol it is amusing to watch lol.

16.  Sex sells ......... In any country and at any price!

17.  We are fortunate to have the NHS so don't moan about it.  However, diazepam is dirt cheap in Cambodia ........ Perhaps that is why they are asleep lol.

18.  Thank goodness I am a vegetarian and I really do not think I will be eating fish again either since the one wriggled over my foot to escape ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

19.  Why are our cinemas generally manky and expensive when it is the complete opposite here?  Where's that money going?  Even the popcorn etc at the cinema here is cheap.

20.  Teenagers are the same in any country.  Think the world owes them something.  Except when the King is shown on the screen at the cinema then total respect to them.

21.  Man's greatest enemy to mankind is man!

22.  But I still believe the majority of people are kind!

23.  Why are we paying so much for the Internet in the UK?????

24.  Why are there so many moped in Phnom Phen and why don't they care about pollution?

25.  Are there any Chinese or Koreans left on China and Korea?

26.  What do they do with all the stuff they buy?

27.  Why do the Korean's insisted on 
        A. Always using a selfie stick
        B. Pose for a photo doing the peace sign
        C. Take 50 photos of the same thing

28.  Why do people think walking around looking like Doctor Bob from the Muppets by wearing a mask over their mouths is going to help at all?

29.  How strange was it for me yesterday to be the only farang (foreigner) on the train yesterday.  But for many in the UK this is the same for them every day!

30.  Where do monks keep their phones lol!

31.  Why is there no deodorant in Doha or Abu Dhabi? I can see a niche in the market there lol

32.  Why do I think I'm turning into Dame Judi Dench? I wish there was a real Marigold Hotel I could retire too.
