Just saw a Western couple walking their Dalmatian up a Thai street, and it got me thinking... Why do so many expats move to Thailand only to live in a bubble? They rent big houses, buy cars, and even import their cats and dogs. Once they're here, they don't bother to learn the language and exist in this sort bubble, completely detached from Thai society. They're literally here just for the low cost of living... ...and I'm surprised the Thais put up with it. These people think and act as if they're still in the United States. They bring their rude behaviour and expect the Thais to adapt to their cultural norms. They're so clueless that they don't even process that this is an entirely different culture and that they are looked upon like complete fucking weirdos. Then they have the nerve to complain about how they feel outcast and want to know why the Thai people won't grant them easy access to citizenship, etc. Truth be told, they have zero fucking interest in becoming Thai; all they're thinking is 'save money, save money, save money. Ponce, ponce, ponce. It's quite sickening really. These two cultures are vastly different in almost every single way and this isn't just annoying... It's a problem. It affects everyone who has made an effort to integrate, those who have married into Thai society, had families, etc. Because every foreigner gets lumped in with these leeches.

Ever try and write emails, marketing copy, Nomad School posts :) and realise no one takes any notice? You spend hours crafting emails, sales vids, or copy, but it all just seems to fall on deaf ears. It’s proper annoying, right? You're trying to grab attention, but it feels like no one's listening. Well, here's a wicked app I've been using that might just sort this out for you: The Hemingway App. You chuck your text into it, and it acts like an editor, showing you where your writing's losing its way. But here’s why I love it and what actually makes it unique from any other editor out there... It helps you dumb down your writing. Yes, dumb it down! Because, when you're writing marketing copy you wanna keep it simple. Aiming for that American 7th to 8th-grade reading level (or lower) is where it’s at... If... You want people to actually read what you write. Yes, if you're wondering, I did write this post using the Hemingway app. The free version is awesome, but if you're a serious writer then the Plus version with its AI is worth it. It’s like having a personal editor - for free! Give it a try and let me know how you like it in the comment or if you already use it.

Ever noticed how sometimes you hit a snag on really straightforward stuff and don't even try to look it up? It's a curious thing, for sure. Rather than tapping into Google or YouTube for a quick fix, you might ask around for help before ever giving it a shot yourself. Maybe it's doubt, fear of getting it wrong, or not knowing where to begin. But think about it – isn't it a bit lazy? With all the tools at your disposal... Google, YouTube, and now AI. Having access to information clearly isn't the problem here. This is something a lot deeper. This is an internal barrier. A lifetime of bad habits and a reluctance to step up and find out for yourself. What if you changed your tune from "I can't" to "How can I figure this out?" Imagine the shift that would happen. You don't have to imagine because I know what would happen... You'd find out what you're truly capable of. Each time you face a challenge and decide to tackle it head-on, you're not just overcoming a hurdle. You're building your self-confidence and your independence. This growth comes from taking initiative, not from waiting for solutions to land in your lap. So, next time you're up against something tricky, why not take the initiative? Try finding the solution yourself. Hell... when you've found the solution... Why not go one step further and come back here to share it with the rest of us. You might surprise yourself with what you learn not just about the issue but about your own ability to overcome challenges. Let's make a pact to be those people who dive in. Who embrace the learning curve. Let's tackle these challenges head-on and not sit around waiting for someone to step in and save the day.
