Pineapple, seafood and islands

I love Thailand.

It's definitely my favorite country in the world...after Turkmenistan, of course.

I was recently asked: "Would you rather live in T-stan and go on vacation in Thailand, or live in Thailand and go on vacation to T-stan?"

Turkmenistan is a very special place. I know I joke sometimes about how I wanted Fiji but ended up with T-stan, but it's so unique and incredible I wouldn't trade it for the world.

The reason: The people.

I may not have running water, avocados or seafood products, but I've made connections with people and that's what makes my life so special.

People are what make the Place.

After all, Texas is really just a flat boring landscape. It is the people who make it awesome.

Ha! Texas is NOT awesome, baby A. Between the hippie socialist/communists of Austin and the gun-toting conservatives of the rest of the state, the gun-toting peaceniks were the only cool ones.

Still, I DID like Austin.
