I got angry at Thailand this morning. She was too nice. Too inviting. Her waters too shallow and warm. Tourism is supreme here and it's making people angry. The burden of a service lifestyle, service culture. I feel like I'm walking through a kind of upside down China town world. By this I mean the following:
China town is a place in a foreign country where Chinese people go, with Chinese stores catering to expat Chinese as well as a little of the local population. Thailand is a place where foreign people go with foreigner orientated stores catering to foreigners, with the odd pocket catering to Thais.
Then, this afternoon I slowly forgave here as I spent two hours floating in the warm water bath of ocean outside my bungalow.
