Sounds like it's a whole new level of awkwardness, much like having your parents over to your first apartment for the first time and catching you with booze in the fridge. Even when you're legal, it's still awkward.

Sounds like a wonderful place! I can understand why you'd be sad to leave it.

$60?? That's it? That doesn't get me to the other side of town and back by cab anymore!

Yeah, I'd be uncomfortable. I'd probably try to avoid it. I like your thinking though..."let's do something risky, and maybe we won't have to talk about it...it'll just happen".

Sign me up for a garden gnome!

You're right. If you have to go to the store anyway, just buy what you need instead of going through the trouble to make it yourself.

I'm with you...if it doesn't directly affect me, what reason should I worry about it?

That's what I love about Thailand. There's a little bit of something for everyone. I've managed to avoid the nightlife for nearly a year haha.

If you're looking for some culture you should check out Northern Thailand. You'll find some pretty cool cultural experiences up there. I'm living at the base of some mountains in Central Thailand and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's not super cultural, but -- you still get the Thai feeling .

I'm great at the topic of death. Not so good at goodbyes. I'd just tell a good friend how much I love him ...and that I'd be there waiting.

America is expensive. Norway was brutal. Costa Rica ain't cheap. I've heard lots of good things from travelers to Thailand. Unfortunately, I'm not a partier and not too into a beach. If a can find a small city with culture...

The price seems more-than-right. May as well check flights...

Hope you have a great few days away at the beach Yera!
