JC Comments on Marc Faber Interview on CNBC

http://retirecheap.asia   I get a lot of correspondence and try to reply to most of it. I received this link  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8_ux8ZCL0&feature=relmfu
in an email from my website from Les. Thanks Les. Anyway, I think you should watch and maybe pick up a few tidbits of wisdom. Here is my response to this video from another Thai resident.

Why This Man Had to Come Back to Thailand

http://retirecheap.asia  People who travel either end up loving the experience of different cultures which include the sounds, smells tastes and well, other things or they end up disliking the adventure aspect and want to go back and curl up in their comfort zone no matter how uncomfortable that zone has become. They like it because it is familiar. In this video I interview Bruce. He has a passion for Southeast Asia and will soon become what I call a RIPper (Retiree In Paradise). Find out why he loves it here and what his strategy is to make retiring in Thailand a reality.

JC, Where Did the Honesty Go?

http://retirecheap.asia  Sometimes it hits me, the differences in the cultures between Southeast Asia and the West. Some of the values we should be taking for granted, we have lost. The society in the West has evolved into something that people have become accustomed to and don't even realize. What a refreshing feeling it is when it dawns on me that I don't live in a fear based society anymore. I live in a place where you can talk to strangers, and even trust that your unattended personal belongings won't be surrounded by hazmat! Check it out.

Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks movie) in Thailand

http://retirecheap.asia Many people around the world are facing challenges they have never dealt with before in their lives. People's identities are being challenged in addition to their financial challenges. I just saw the movie Larry Crowne, yes we get first run movies, and it was great. It demonstrates that we shouldn't judge an event for what it appears to be on the surface. Who knows, just like Tom in the movie, you might end up with a much better life. And it never would have happened if it wasn't for these so called "bad" events happening in your life. Hopefully I am helping in some way to see that "There's always an option" and sometimes those options are even better than the so-called great life of the past.
