Hi magpie,
Thanks for the tips! You are not barracking fro Collingwood by any chance are you??? My husband is a mad collingwood supporter!
The gatherings sound great. The heat I think I may be able to cope with as I live part of my life in Bangkok so the hair condition hopping is nothing unusual. The only fear I have is the level of racism I hear of. Is it bad? I'm an australian with Thai origin and I hear that some asians are treated a bit like second class citizen. I have grown to love and being very comfortable with the level of great tolerance with other cultures in Melbourne. My husband is an aussie so I think he should be fine.
Do you know if the asians ( I guess the locals are asians too, but you know what I mean) are treated differently,if so, how?
I think if it is not confrontational I can cope with, especially if I just hang out with fellow expats I should be ok?
Thanks again!
