#3 "But this (coup) is a case in point - you're not Asians yet, you have an entirely different mentality - you belong to the Western group."

Lol. That's apparently meant to be an indictment... sounds rather complimentary to my ears. Truth is, they'll never really be accepted as "Asian", at least until they have a few coups and banking system / monetary collapses, I guess...

#4 Mr. AC - a point of oder. The person who made the comments, Anand Panyarachun, was appointed PM in the early 1990's for about a year after the coup/civil unrest of May 1992 - which was very bloody by anyone's standards. He is a former Senator from a very wealthy family and Oxford-edumacated. Not to be confused with the current PM Surayud. Not trying to be a wisenhiemer but it is important to know the players in this strange game I currently find myself in. Hat tip to the wife for the inside scoop.
