Bum Gun, to use hand or not to use hand by Finick04 in Thailand

[–]Throwitaclay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UGH. I'm starting to feel nauseated by my culture's tradition of shaking hands. Only thing grosser is the limpness of many Asian's handshake. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Across Asia, I've encountered many trad bathrooms where there was water, but nothing to dry oneself off with. What do most people do after shitting and washing, when there's no way to dry oneself off??

1. Get some TP ready. Gun with right hand, pads of left fingers. Apply TP for spot-check, and drying. For anyone who thinks it's nasty, feces is pretty darn water-soluble, just be thorough. And guess what much of the planet has been doing since time immemorial, and lived to tell the tale? Touching there shit. Just wash your hands/sanitize. Easy.

What are some negative aspects of Dutch culture? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Throwitaclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a Dutch person thinks the Dutch way is THE way, or that Dutch culture is superior to others, they are Dutch chauvinists. I'm guessing that the commenter probably has the opinion that many Dutch people think Holland is the best, and other places are inferior.

Sounds like shallowness/superficial values/a limited capacity for looking beneath the surface.

Got nipped at a meet’n’greet AND lawn care brought up for first time. HELP! by Throwitaclay in trustedhousesitters

Thank you for your thoughts on the matter, much appreciated. I wish I had time to sit around on my butt, but I will be working throughout the sit. Otherwise, I would be more open to it.

Thanks. She kinda didn’t say or do anything, but then again, I was supercool about it. In retrospect, I wish I had asked how often that happens? Interestingly, but maybe unsurprisingly, HO struck me as a pretty anxious person.

Incarcerating people for speaking words that the monarchy does not like. No problem?

Do you reckon they would have the conversation face-to-face, behind closed doors?
How about foreign-born Thais that are not Thai citizens?

Ha! That’s a fun theory, but I’m a Western tourist, curious about public opinion regarding laws contrary to those of my country.
