I am sure it is an exciting place to live. You can meet all sort of eccentric people, and I like that. Probably similar to Bangkok where I lived in the late 90's. I had thought about living in Bangkok again, but the pollution and traffic drives me insane, so I settled on Pattaya instead. Near the ocean, clean air, great food, not that busy during the day, the hottest girls and the best nightlife on the planet after 8 pm.

I don't even like Brisbane-Gold Coast where I am now, just a massive urban sprawl these days. Cairns in north Australia is where I will live if I ever live full-time in Australia again.
