Dear Klara,

How are you?

Thanks very much for replying to my intro, are you a moderator or just interested? Not that it really matters which one.

I mentioned going to Bangkok so the obvious assumption is that I was on holiday, in fact I have retired to Trat - a small town in Eastern Thailand down near the Cambodian border (if you have been to Thailand near Koh Chang).

My retirement is chosen isolation, I live alone and the nearest westerner...
