Sometimes I wonder...

how Erin and I get into the situations that we experience. Yesterday we decided to go out exploring. Nothing too special, but fun none-the-less. On the way back, while riding the song tao we met a man from the States. Side note: If you're a older white male, living in Thailand; you are part of a stereotype. It's just a fact. I have seen countless middle-aged Caucasian men with a very young Asian woman on their arm. It's usually a 'two-way' road he's using her for certain things, and of course she's using him as well, usually for money. Well anyways, yesterday we found ourselves in the weirdest most awkward conversation with....yes, 'a white man in Thailand.' 

He didn't hold back. He told us very casually exactly why he was living in Thailand: the 'ladies' (as he puts his hand on his Thai girlfriend.) I knew that was the answer, even without his explanation. I was just so shocked that he was being so open with us, as if it were something to be proud of. I couldn't wait to jump off the song tao and say exactly was on my mind to Erin (who was thinking the exact same thing.) But seriously, it's nothing to be proud of. I actually feel sorry for that man, because it won't be long until that girlfriend will swindle him too.
