40. Hi! I live in Thailand.

Tue Apr 3, 2012, 02:53 AM

Apr 2012

I'm a little new here, because all through the horrible "W" years I was out of the country and had only limited computer access, so I didn't discover DU until just before the dismal 2010 elections.

Why do I live in Thailand? Because I can't afford to live in my own country and still have a good life. Here I can pay rent, eat and still have dental and medical that I can afford. What a luxury. I'm a member of Democrats Abroad and we expats are dedicated progressives. Thank you DU for being here for me.
