Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

Currently at DTW, where I am STL-bound again. Only about my 5th trip there in the 2+ year history of my consulting career.
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

Sitting at a seaside restaurant last night in Hua Han about 3 hours outside Bangkok. Patti's friend owns the resort (Blue Sky) while another a local fishery and he brought in pounds of fresh crab, prawns and mussels that they cooked for us special order. With the stars out, the wine flowing and a small storm brewing off to our west the setting was just sublime. After a bit the bar band started up and their first song a very Dread Zeppelinish version of the Muhamad Ali that for some reason made the moment and the night just rolled from there!!

btw there have been so many Europeans here especially while traveling (Pattaya, Bang Saphan, Hua Hin) and they're on the whole mostly friendly but very one dimensional. Tatts, bleached hair, bodies unfit for the bathing suits they elect to wear, cocky. But since no one has held Trump against me I give them a pass. :)

Actually I wasn't referring to you son, but to the statement made by Slap shot regarding one dimensional people from Europe. Which as I said is not my experience. Mostly they are a lot more sophisticated and informed on a variety of subjects than the average gopher fan is and even now what's going on in American politics.

Spare me the Kepler-like self-loathing never mind the Gopher remark. I didn't rip them and I didn't insult your mother so what's your freaking problem?

To be clear I'm referring more so to Euro travelers here, Bahrain, South Africa, Paraguay, Peru, a few countries in Western Europe as well as the Philippines (observations I've made going on 30+ years) for instance and not all of them.

Have you hung out with them in the places I have? As in outside their milieu? Manama, Marakesh, Sun City, Bangkok, Bogota, Muscat, Alexandria, Dubai, Manila, etc.?

So I know what I've seen quite repeatedly and I don't dislike them at all just noting an observation.

[edit] Oh and Americans I run into abroad are just as knowledgeable on local politics as the Euros are about our affairs.
