Thanks for the info, Fengzi! You just confirmed my every suspicion about Thailand being exotic and spicy and wonderful. I'd probably be knocked over by the peppery food, but I'm sure I'd have a similar reaction to the country itself.

You know two other places I want to go? Vietnam and Cambodia. They played such a big background role in the landscape of my childhood, what with the war on and both countries in the news day and night. It just seems like a place those of us who came of age in the 60s and 70s probably ought to see. I understand they're both spectacularly beautiful countries, and I already know I'd like the gentle, lovely people whose countries we helped wreak such havoc on. That same motivation to see a country that I remember hearing about in childhood was part of the attraction I felt toward India. It was where John, Paul, George and Ringo went, so by golly, I felt I needed to go check it out, too, even if it was 30 years later!
