Don't ever think of becoming a writer

Great story and an interesting story teller direct and to the point, no attempt at flowering things up to try and make yourself appear clever. Keep those stories coming

Just wanted to thank you. I greatly enjoyed reading them in particular because I have similar stories of traveling in Asia for years and finally running into the right girl, marrying her and bringing her to the West.

It's interesting that when I posted this on a different expat website with comments closed and left my email address as contact that I only received positive comments. However with comments open I get only negative replies.

Interesting that you make the only postive comments yourself! Are you totally nuts?
