ok, this is not really an advice thing, just a rant.
a while ago I was taking my girlfriend to her friend's place, she was going shopping with a bunch of her friends, now when I got inside the house, all of her friends wai'ed me (Wai is a thai thing, it's when you put both of your hands togather at your chest and lower your head to meet your hands to show respect to someone) now, my girlfriend asked them why they wai'ed her boyfriend, they looked suprised and thought I was her step dad....

GAH!
ok, my girlfriend is 16 and I'm 20, that's a bit of an age difference but by the standards here, that's quite normal. and for the love of god! I do not look that old!
well, then again I had an army officer coming up to me and asked me if my name was Colonel Ongart...

20 years old! 20!
so anyway, that's all I'll post a pic just to illuistrate my point.
