Dear Hillary,
Another lamb to the slaughter. Saw an older foreigner here, with the rental car and the young Thai girl, being propelled to the ATM to get some more readies out before the visit to the village to meet the girl’s parents, where the readies will be used for some celebration in the village, fuelled by Lao Khao and sticky rice. Probably even a whirlwind wedding where the poor sap things he’s married the village virgin. Can’t you put a stop to this charade, Hillary?

Dear Ben,
You’ve got the wrong female here, my Petal. Hillary does not have that sort of power. You should have sent your letter to PM Yingluck, not to me. However, since the village weddings and parties are part of the financial influx to the local economy, I don’t think you’d get much support there either. And before you point too many fingers, just what did you do on the first trip to Thailand? Remember?
