    Default You Guys Make Me Feel At Home- Thank You.

    First and foremost, thank you guys! I have been in this forum since June '14..so that makes it about 4 months old in this forum. But the warmth of your friendship made me feel at home. I am writing this as a token of appreciation to all of you. Even though I am from a different race/ethnic, (what race? I am mixed British, Malay, Chinese and Siamese....so I dunno what I am), different nationality, born as a Secular/non fanatical/extremist Muslim, living in South East Asia, from a 3rd world country, barely speaks good American/English, and with not so much knowledge when compared to any of you, I am (as I felt so) accepted here.

    Even though I made jokes about Rick, Kyrat, Sarge and some of you guys, I am still not banned (yet) from this forum.

    I sure hope I can be part of this community for long long time.

    Thank you s much and my hats off to you guys!

    You seem to have a surprisingly good grasp of English, actually.
    True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.

    Don't sell yourself short on knowledge my friend. That is very subjective. If I were in Malaysia I'd be a dunce. I wouldn't know the language, the customs or how to survive in the jungle. I'd be tagging along with you very closely just so you could keep me out of trouble. You've brought a wealth of information with you.

    We are thankful to have you here. I have read several of your post and the information you have added really is and will be useful to me when I am out in the woods. Wado Awanita.

    I think you're doing great, with your English....but if you want to get better at it, maybe practicing these words will help.

    2D, stop that. It's not nice.

    Tok, your info on jungle snakes was really interesting. Thanks for the info from your perspective as well.

    If I start being nice, people will worry about me. LOL
    (And I'm pretty sure that TOK knows I'm just messing with him.)

    Well, yeah! That doesn't change, just because you go somewhere else! Hahaha.
