Near, Far, Wherever You Are
“And, on another plane, what can one make of a language where the word for dentist is “more fun” or where, at least to the foreign ear, the words for “near” and “far” are exactly the same?”
Sir Arthur de la Mare, Thailand, November 1973, From Parting Shots (a book about the parting words left by British ambassadors to their replacements) by Matthew Parris

Ugly Feet
I don’t know what it is but nothing disgusts me more than a girl who buys pumps a size too big or too small and has the end of her toes hanging over the edge of the shoes. I mean, how many times have those toes touched the sidewalk?

Getting Off At Nana
I don’t know why but I always feel guilty getting off the BTS at the Nana station. It feels like all the Thais on the train are sitting there thinking “I bet you the farang gets off at Nana.” So when you get there you sort of hold off because you don’t want to seem like you’re too anxious. And then as soon as you step out you know when the doors close the Thais are going to be “See, I told you the farang was getting off at Nana. You owe me 20 baht!”
