[QUOTE="JIMJFOX, post: 1830578, member: 379153"] [b]O.T.- Living O/S[/b] Hi Rod Interesting! I lived in Thailand for 2 years for the same economic reason, after trying Spain & Turkey. Bought a fabulous apartment in Turkey for peanuts, convinced I'd see out my days there. Every Turk was so friendly, helpful & honest, fabulous families. BUT... decided I ought to find out all about Islam. Wish I didn't do that, horrified & somewhat worried; eventually some young [devout?] muslim guys threatened me so I had to leave. Terrible shame, such a fabulous country. Thailand-- as you no doubt know, lovely people deserving of respect. No religion problems there, Buddhism is admirable even to an atheist! I did find the language impenetrable so some things were hard to get done cos English was not commonplace in Chiang Rai. Hopefully your experience in Bali is better? Recent news about Indonesia's new laws smacks of Islamisation, even Sharia which would be a disaster for Bali's Buddhist culture. Anyway I had to return to Australia for family reasons, my daughter was very unhappy with my 'abandoning' her; fair enough. Also the UK stopped my pension when I was in Thailand which I just could not get resolved until back in Oz. Enough waffling! Have a good life in Bali. [/QUOTE]
