Just realized that I didn't properly introduce myself: my name is Eric. I'm from Belgium, but lived in Thailand from 1980 - 1993, working in the Cambodian refugee camps and then with the US Orderly Departure Program for Vietnamese refugees. Moved to Geneva, Switzerland, to work for the International Organization for Migration. This brought me all around the world while on duty trips to "exotic" countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and many other countries and continents. End of 2004 I took early retirement and moved with my Thai wife (of 29 years now) back to Thailand to settle down near Pattaya. Our grown up daughter and son now live in Phuket island, 1,000 Km to the South, where they started their own business. Living in Thailand is not bad at all, especially when one speaks the language.
Through this forum I found out that there are other people living in Thailand who are active on this forum: Nick (who lives nearby), Mai (Newbie001), Henry and Kai (these are the ones I found so far). It will be exciting to get in touch with them and share our insterest in cheese making.
