Yea, you know, water quality is one thing to be really questioned in Thailand. Wouldn't want to accidentally drink that water or get it on an open wound :D
Been alright, strange to look at pictures from Thailand while in winter wonderland. How about yourself?
I've been good, curating, living and working in real life, writing content. I've been working on engaging with new people more, commenting and getting involved with them a little. It's odd though, some don't even reply, or give me one word replies. I just move on though, no skin off my back.
I bet it's a bit of a culture shock coming from Thailand back to EU. You know, I really wish I could have got to SF to meet some of you guys...I'm a bit of steem-idiot as far as knowledge goes but it would have been nice to fist bump y'all and hang out.
I am trying to get back on curating track. It was good to take a little break after nonstop 2.5 years. Commenting more sounds great. I have always sucked at commenting. Because writing for me really takes a lot of time. I am weird like that. I write and rewrite and ponder for half an hour, delete and write from scratch. I would love to learn how to engage better though. Maybe that should be part of my Steem New Year's resolution.
When it comes to new people. I guess they just mostly don't realize the importance of talking with people in comments. Because they mostly have gone used to screaming in empty voids where no one talks back, share something and go on about their day. Like Facebook.
Culture shock for sure, but I needed that experience. One interesting observation another Steemian pointed out - in Thailand it seems everything is at the same place, poor and the ultra rich shopping at the same places, walking the same streets. Really fascinating place.
You know, this year it was only 100 ish, maybe a little more people there at the fest. While, the number was small in comparison to other years, it was somehow more intimate and I loved that, because it is harder to have conversations with 300 or more people. If you can try and make it next year. I have a feeling it will be a big one for Steem next year and I would love to meet you some day too. Steemians are wonderful people, lots of fun stories. Will share some in next posts :)
Commenting more is difficult as it means reading more posts and like you I write content of my own which takes time. I have real life to contend with too, hobbies, work, my relationship, sleep...Still, having said that I am commenting much more and getting a little reciprocal commenting also. I read for curangel though and so I've started commenting on each one I send up and figured that's a good start.
I've been to Thailand several times and I think you're right, it seems more evenly spread as far as class-structure. I haven't been to Bangkok but seems you saw it there so I assume it's the way of it. I like the place. Vietnam is also cool...Spent some time there too.
Only 100 at SF? I guess a sign of the times, lower crypto prices and more financial pressure around the place - I agree though, maybe better to engage with people more effectively. I'd like to go to the next one, but like everyone, it comes down to time and money. We'll see...Would be interesting to meet you guys.
Hey! I walked on some slippy looking rocks to grab that one :)
Risking life and limb for our viewing pleasure? That's dedication! Nice work.
I hope you've been well.
