Five things that I wish Thailand would learn from The US:
1. Lane lines are there to tell you where to drive your car. The idea is to stay between the two lines so that you don't hit anyone and they don't hit you :)
2. The art of a really good salad- multiple kinds of dark lettuce and spinach with a variety of fresh veggies, with a bit of meat or cheese or eggs on top.
3. Treated tap water.
4. Cheese. Cheese is delicious. Cheese can do many things. Cheese should not cost an arm and a leg.
5. Public education should be free all the way through high school graduation. School fees past 6th grade, no matter how small, prevent too many kids from learning and having more opportunities in life.
Five things that I wish The US would learn from Thailand:
1. The sun is harmful to your skin. Tan is not cool.
2. Clothes dryers are a luxury, not a necessity. Line drying is economically and ecologically better, and never shrinks anything.
3. The art of cheap food and eating lunch for $2.
4. There's rarely a need for public displays of anger- yelling, screaming, complaining, and griping under your breath are distasteful and won't get you anywhere.
5. Bookstores are valuable- real live bookstores with real live books in them.
