Welcome to Steem! Great introduction. I wish you much success on the platform.

Wow! I really encourage the effort you are putting in this community @gmuxx, keep on doing it, this will be a better source of motivation and encouragement for newbies. I appreciate your good work.

Thanks for sending me this way @gmuxx! Can't wait for all the travel stories and pictures from @gratefulforitall

Awesome @moneyinfant. I loved scrolling through your blog and thanks for making me aware of all those writing contests! This is exactly what I was looking for from the introduction. Steemit just got smaller!

Glad I was able to help you acclimate a bit more easily.
In your extensive travels did you make it to Thailand? I only ask because we lived there for 6 years.

I never made it out to Asia. Where did you live in Thailand? Did you have a chance to explore other nearby countries?

We lived in Bangkok, but also spent time in Tak province. It's my wife's home province and she owns land there. Tak is on the border with Myanmar, so we've been there. We also traveled to Japan and Vietnam as well as extensively in Thailand. I would have loved to go to Cambodia, but my wife had no interest. I've also been to Singapore a long time ago (1999), I'm sure it's changed dramatically since.

I felt that I wasn't ready for Asia. I could easily spend a year there and its just not what I need right now.

Would love to visit those places you mentioned. Yeah I think all of those countries must have changed a lot over the last decade or so. Everyone says Myanmar is the best place to go now because it is changing very rapidly

That's all so kind of you, thank you!!
