another statement // things I notice

Guys, I'm having a good time, I'm enjoying really good and cheap food, I can chill out all day, reading a book, sucking in sunshine and its warmth, I'm having great experiences with coping all the stuff in a country where they speak really bad English, which is a great adventure. I love to compare things in general, pointing out similarities and contrasts and I'm happy to be here! 

Firstly, most female Thais don't shave. Not only Thais but also Asians in general. Many female Asians I met often had a bush growing along their legs. I'm actually not as disgusted as I thought I'd be; they don't go through the sacrifice of shaving every second day, so who is best off? 

Second funny thing I noticed, there are so many European/North American men in the age of 40 till death having a Thai girlfriend between 18 and 30 years. The men often look incredibly hygenic (watch out, irony) and the Thais are beautiful young girls, dressed in a west-ish look. But these girls seem to have a good time with those boys, even though I was often wondering if it is just a holiday fling, if they're here on holiday together or they live here as a couple. Who knows. 

Yesterday I went to the cinema to watch 'insurgent'. The movie was awesome. When cinema started they showed lots of advertisements first, including trailers and local adverts. In between all those adverts (by the way everything was written and said in Thai, exept the movie was in English) there was something written in Thai and underneath in English. I don't remember the exact words but it was saying something like 'please stand up now and pray'. I was like: 'really?'
All Thais stood up and prayed for some men showing on the screen. I tried to show respect and not laugh, which was really hard...
