Many people who know me do not know my x-husband, nor do they even know I was married to a man from Thailand for many years. When I mention that I once lived in Thailand, many people assume it was in connection with the military until I explain. Most people are merely curious and say positive things like 'I'll bet the country is beautiful', 'how did you like it?', etc. They ask about the food and weather.

My daughter has told me about meeting some people (guys in particular) her own age who ask her about the sex trade. The good thing about that is that she knows right off to stay away from them. There are others whom I have met when I visit her who have been to Thailand for a few weeks and come home experts. I must confess that I find this most annoying, since after all these years I am still clueless.
