Wisteria Lane, Thailand

The Thai people are the most friendly people in the world. Within 5 minutes of meeting you, they will offer you their home to stay in or at least give you water and fruit. They want to get your phone number and e-mail address. These are a few of our neighbors who like to visit with Carol and admire her white skin. Some of the older ladies will meet Carol and immediately start stroking her forearm. Thai women want light skin because dark skin is interpreted as a sign that you are poor --- you must have worked in the rice fields too long. We have seen a lot of skin "whitener" products for sell at the local 7-11.
