Yes, exactly. But people treat you like Thailand. People are so nice, but you still feel like outcast.

Chiang Mai, I would live like for $150 per month rent for like a private room. Pretty good. So I struggled on this on accident.

And they would live in like Colombia or Thailand or Vietnam or Bali.

They would live kind of like in more cheap places. And it looked like a very adventurous life. Like you travel around, you build your business. There's no pressure from like your home society, right?

And you can get away from this pressure. You can kind of feel like you're free. You're kind of... There's nobody telling you what to do.

You're disattached from the culture you're probably in because you're staying very short.
