Oh lord, everyone needs to get off their high horses. You see less of her than you would in a bathing suit. She's fully covered and looks beautiful and natural. I think people are being quite hypocritical about this.

Disney most of all:

Odd to read this now; I'm allergic to tomatoes and am currently in bed, recuperating from accidentally eating some yesterday.

I used to live in Thailand (although not in Bangkok, thank goodness), and I have to agree with both Angstrom AND Adam in this case. There have been reports of farangs kidnapped and robbed by tuk-tuk drivers, but it's almost unheard of. I've never heard of a concrete report, but that kind of thing is a constant threat in Thailand. And "kii nok" does literally mean "birdshit," but it's often used to describe backpackers- as in, dirty, unwanted, and all over everything.

In general, Thai tuk-tuk and taxi drivers are friendly to farangs, if only because they can quote you exorbitant prices and you'll pay. And, if you have a strong stomach, it's worth it for the experience of riding through Bangkok rush-hour traffic in a tuk-tuk. Near-death experiences abound.

Hmmm. . .born and raised in California and have never, ever heard "Elsewherians". There is a fashion to nickname anyone from the Midwest "Flyover", however.
