i am sure i will be in the minority but i find the story to be a little pathetic

i think it is great to adapt to one's enviroment and take on some cultures, but to give up your identity sounds sad to me

saying that he cringes when he sees tourists-to me that sounds like a sad old ex-pat who is being judgemental. they were probably 2 kids making out

i understand what he is saying, but i think people like K2, Lil, ATMWalking are more like i would want to emulate. they observe the culture, adapt to it, without giving up their whole identity
