Dear Hillary,
(Further from my use of English idioms last week) The reason it is impossible to believe your Thai persona is that English literate Thai persons do not work on local papers, they work in Bangkok. After all, as you have said, you are horribly underpaid by your paper owners so surely a person with your knowledge and abilities would have moved on. Hope we got you a raise! Robert
Dear Robert,
Aren’t you just the sweetest thing! Hoping you get me a raise and all. But you forgot one very simple fact – would you rather live in the nation’s over-populated capital, or in a vibrant beachside resort city? There you are, my Petal, you’ve just answered your own question – why do you live here and not in Bangkok?
