Growlers annual brag thread

Yup hahaha

Had one of the locals invite us to her place for dinner
So we all piled up on the poor little scooter and off we choofed
A very cultural experience not for the feint of heart. I nearly fell through the floor of the house!! I've done home stays in the "outback" of Vietnam Thailand and Malaysia and this was the same style of accommodation . Made me remember how lucky we are. Our 3 yr old thought the little village was all cubby houses. No pics taken as I thought it would be rude. An entirely great evening though. Awesome tucker and hospitality. The Neighbour had some mates around doing fish fighting and was very proud of his fighting buffalo as well. He gets 1,000 thb for a win $30 roughly
The husband of the lady who invited us just lost his $14 per day job and is doing motorbike taxi work at night and last night 8hr shift bought home $3.50
Like I say how lucky we are

Thats very true mate and its the small things we take for granted like clean running water that you don't really think about untill you see how people in poverty really live, to say eye opening is an understatement when you think about what those people do to survive..

Lucky indeed!

Even Growler knows when appropriate respect should be shown! Good to see you setting an example for the less 'aware, among us. Envious of your experience. We are indeed very lucky.

Just curious what is acceptable, can you offer them a gift when you leave of money or something else useful or would that be rude?
