Don't really understand what you are saying there Paul, as Geir, I too read your post different and was thinking of course you should adapt to your new environment but that is not what you meant is it???, how do you mean not loose your identity? cos I read the Stick report and thought, yeah I've changed in almost all the ways he mentions but am not concerned, I like these changes, not done them on purpose, but I'm still English and always will be, I will never ever be accepted as a thai nor want to, is that what you meant? I havn't lost my national traits but some of my personality and thoughts have definately changed and I think for the better.
