Regrets, C.I.Q.
My apologies for not filling in for Simon of late, I too have been travelling a fair bit. I am in fact just back from Thailand, and where I found people in great spirits despite (or more correctly, because of) the military coup. As I was departing on Thai Airways at the new Suvarnabhumi (pronounced Sue-wanna-poom) Airport, (the cab ride to Sukhumvit area should be under Bt 300)I found myself sitting next to a large rabble of mainland tourists. I found myself frequently embarrassed by the behavior of these johnny-come-lately Ugly Americans in one of the most hospitable foreign countries in the world - the less said about specifics the better. I did note though that all of them were wearing stickers that had the initials 'C.I.Q.'. Might this be a bit of Thai humor? Eschewing more uncharitable acronym explanations, my money was on "Curious Inability to Queue'... posted by HK Dave on 10.27.06 at 11:11 AM in the China people category.
