Im moving to Asia

Post #1

Post by Scrotum »

OK, moving to Malaysia. So if i dont get stuck in customs (not entirely offchance), i´ll be back in a couple of days.

Have to give the wife what she needs/wants *ahem ahem*, and that will be alot. And i will be to tired in the 35C heat, so i´ll probably take it easy for awhile. Just so you know, not that you care.

Kisses.

Under!? Perhaps you meant "South of".

Do you seriously believe an American would understand what "south" is? "Under" is a more clear way of explaining to an american, if he would look at an atlas.


You have to have these things in mind McCulloch, you cant just go and overshot.

For example, if an american would ask "What is the Berlin Wall", you cant just start off with telling him that it is/was a wall in German (through Berlin) that split East and West during the cold war.

No, you would first need to tell him/her about Germany, perhaps show a map, and explain about the country, and then explain about Berlin, and then you end up with the Wall, and perhaps havingto explain East and West.


So hence, my simple discription which is valid in a to-a-child way :)

But what if the American was unknowingly holding his atlas upside down?

But the point is that this is not an upsidedown map. The maps we are used to are Northside up (or southside down, if you prefer). Those other ones are Northside down or southside up. Either way, Malasia is not under (subterranean?) Thailand. It is south of Thailand.
