    Feel sorry for the guy because his wife left him due to his financial situation but I don't agree with him taking a local man's job. He should return to Switzerland.

    I don't know about you Steve, but I love to budget everything every month as soon as we get wifey's pay slip I start working every penny out for the following month and the thing is, it works and I've already got money for our holiday transferred also have a rough plan until April next year, no finance problems at all!

    A lot of people judging this guy without knowing the true story that led up to and caused his present circumstance.
    I`d like a wager that if someone offered him a free ticket back to Switzerland, he wouldn't take it!
    In life, Sh1te happens..
    Better get ready just in case and you have no nappy!

    Living the dream sometimes turns into a nightmare. I am in Bangkok at the moment, and I have met several westerners living on the streets here.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
