“And stereotypes do not exist in a vacuum...”

When I visited the family of a friend of mine in Vietnam we had a nice lunch including a couple of beers, and then my host asked me if I’d like to go into the guest room and take a nap. I said “No thanks”, but then realized that everyone else was going to, so I did too.

Not as strange as in Thailand, where I’ve had people ask me if I’d like to take a shower. Which in a few cases I’ve taken them up on, like after being stuck in traffic in the back of a pickup truck for a few hours.

I was visiting a friend a few weeks ago and he naps every day when he isn’t working....which explains the quadruple bypass a few years ago.

I go for a walk/run. It has the same effect.

Funny about Thailand, isn’t it.

I’ve had guests ask me if I’d mind if they took a shower; disorienting until I got used to it, and something I’ve never seen anywhere else in the world!
