Six months on and it seems much longer. The noise no longer a painful nuisance, the uneven pavement now a quaint charm to the city, and the language no longer seems fatuous. It is starting to feel like home (gasp!!!).
Hubby unnaturally enjoys his technology job, especially the extensive social obligations attached to it on a weekly basis. Most night it’s quite uneventful as he’s working late and has no time after work to stay keen on remember people’s names and faces. If it’s not working long hours, hubby spends his free nights playing pool and drinking beer. To be fair, his time is well balanced compared to expats in Bangkok who spend an inordinate amount of time and money entertaining clients at the cost of their family time. Hubby spends as much time at home as possible with a healthy balance of friends and work commitment.
For yours truly, employment has been no easy task. It has been a formidable challenge, albeit worthwhile, and has finally brought about the desired result – revenue.

After six months of establishing a network of professional colleagues in the region, my goal of starting my own business has come to fruition. 
Living in Bangkok does not have to be an arduous experience. With a healthy dose of flexibility and humor, anyone can thrive in this exotic culture. British food abound, delectable Thai food at every corner, and small elephants wandering the streets begging for a little treat from retreating tourists, it has to be a requisite experience for any globe trotter.
