What a life good for You!

[Patagonie]

Don't even start me on medical care in US after what I am going through with my dad at Stanford Hospital (supposedly top 10 in US) my husband and I pretty much decided to fly to Singapore , Thailand or somewhere else if something serious were to happen to one of us. I am very disappointed in US healthcare right now.

I mean they lost his biopsy results and I had to email them to Stanford, they just today couldn't find his ultrasound result that they ordered, and I had to email it to them (I dowloaded both from THEIR portal)

Then They wanted to discharge my dad with heart failure tomorrow and for last 4 days haven't treated the heart failure at all and stopped his heart medications for the reason they couldn't explain. They never call to consult me even though I have advanced heath directive on file. And so on
 
Only with a help of my beautiful Russian surgeon friend Milana in th Bay Area I was able to get them to keep him hospitalized and do something about his heart.

   
     
In my country globally medicine is top notch. In Thailand they have everything you need also. The difference is, for French citizens, we almost don't pay in our country. 
Singapore is a very expensive city and I suppose that medical care, at least, should be more expensive than in Thailand.
Thailand if a know location for medical care. 
   
This story you relate about you Dad is close to a professional fault, no?

[olgac]

Yes I have already looked at Thailand medical travel, it's amazing!
And in Franco You guys are lucky with Your health care!
In case of Stanford Hospital I thinl this could be a case for law suit later on

[ML]

And in France You guys are lucky with Your health care!

Remember that most Europeans, Canadians, etc., falsely think their medical care is 'free' . . . that's partly why they rave about it.

Except for some bad experiences (which can happen anywhere) . . . hard to believe that USA health care is not number one in the world.

[Patagonie]

BTW Costa Rica has better climate than Thailand
it's a possibility

Costa Rica gets a lot or rewards in the expats destinations.

[Patagonie]

thailand interior is brutally hot and humid during and after monsoon...
not as bad along the coast, where I imagine Pat will stay

it's kinda like Cancun or Hawaii
you can strip down to shorts and walk around...and it's fine there...none of that, "no shoes no shirt no service"
Thai beaches are 5 star

I have no idea what it's like today
in my time, Bangkok was a dump
you smelled it before the airport bus even got there
a weird smell of sewage mixed with something that smelled like baked beans... NO it wasn't me!!!!!

   
Yep 
Humidity is a real problem, more than the absolute temperature.   
It screwed up a little bit my sportive performances.   
I am not fan of the big cities anymore, and will not stay in Bangkok more than very few days. I would avoid it as much as possible.

Of course we pay for it, we pay tons of taxes. But indirectly, I mean.

[Patagonie]

I didn't know what you wanted to become...

now I know that you want to be "Le Français Errant
d'aacord..i've heard of "something like that"
now I see...

naturellement, this is not a country for me
the lion in winter
wants to sleep by the fire in the den

I'm slowly convincing my wife to permanently leave the comforts of America...
we've tried a few experiments
I tend to avoid all the places "I've worked in",
becuz it has a "return to the scene of the crime" paranoic feel to it
i'm getting my wife used to Latin culture
also, if/when Ukraine "winds down" I'm planning on buying a property that borders Hungary and making something like what yo're doing
and anticipating it might end up belonging to Hungary one day, and "Ukrainians" can become EU citizens
and I can go buy a place in Amsterdam and live there
and be a street performance artist with a trained monkey who dances while I play the accordion
and we both wear sailor uniforms
so yur dream ain't as weird as mine
   
what yur doing has rarely been achieved except by a few sailors from Marsailles
a woman in every port, 2 cars in the garage, and a chicken in the oven

I SALUTE YOU SIR!!!
if you are able to achieve this
or if you die trying!!! at least you will not perish from boredom

you follow the beat of a different drummer
you are (a) papillon
the wind is yur destiny

bon chance
bon voyage

i'm guessing yur "femme russe" is blonde, non?
http://youtu.be/XT9IDo-vF5k

for me it Was "Russia House"

   
   
I was in communication with her this morning. 
She started to talk herself about our destiny. 
I remind you what does it mean. I am her destiny, and so she is mine.
I sent her flowers few days ago. 
Women love flowers. I ended to buy high grade flowers which, long time after the purchase, were still perfuming all her room. 
I sent also a little letter, written in Russian. 
I could translate by:
Your elegant hand was writing in the sand of the beach while you were staring me in the eyes "you are my destiny". I right away decided to buy the beach. 
 So you can invert or replace it by the wind, whatever you like, 
But the fact is now something powerful is moving us into the visa road. 

I am not intentionally planning to have a woman in every port because it's too time expensive and I want to keep time for myself and quality time for the woman I love. I rather prefer to focus on one woman and having a high quality time with her.
There is many reasons for why you screw up a LTR or a marriage.
 One of them is when you have lost control on Willy and he starts to explore new places. 
That's the reason number one I have never cheated during my marriage. Because I didn't want to take the risk to loose my (ex) wife. 
 As you wrote it:
I SALUTE YOU SIR!!!
if you are able to achieve this
or if you die trying!!! at least you will not perish from boredom
 
Yes I will not perish from boredom for the moment. Thank you Krim
I think there is a whole sea to explore now and we have not even left the dock of the port. 

[Patagonie]

There are a force into her who makes her moving forward, 
while I was having doubts creating friction and moving somehow backward. 
     
You perfectly understand what I mean Krim.
   
Now I let it go and we are on the wave. 
Don't even have a fucking idea where it moves, but the swing is damned good.
I fucking love it.

[Patagonie]

What a life good for You!

   
Thank you.   
I was with a couple of friends in Thailand, and they were daily updated with what was happening.
And they were constantly keeping saying "man, if this working, that will be a blockbuster love story!"     
We need to wait this summer to know more of course.

Well I talked to oncologists in several Thai hospitals. Over there he would have gotten a private room with a sleeper couch for visitors. They would have immediately done biopsy and start immunotherapy. the whole time he would have been taken care of. Even if the cancer is terminal he would have died taken care of with dignity.

Here he was running around to different providers for 3 weeks because they refused to do biopsy until he gets clearance from a cardiologist who was booked for next 2 months.
only 1 month after cancer diagnosis they finally did biopsy and for another 2 weeks did not tell him what results were and scheduled appointments with oncologists 1 month away. Then they lost his biopsy results. Now they can't start treatment because of problems with heart which could only be fixed with oblation procedure that has 3 months waiting line. Meanwhile they just throw him out of the hospital after ER even though he clearly can't take care of himself.
As a result 3 months after cancer diagnosis he still received zero treatment! And todays MRI showed melanoma now spread to his brain. At least now he is hospitalized and I did not let them discharge him today. This is Stanford the top US hospital!

You might call this the best health care system in a world, but I do not! Also Europeans might pay for their health are with high taxes but ours is much much more expensive than theirs, the prices went up because of how our system operates.

That's a nightmare     
eto tragédia     
This is what we call in aviation disaster a chain of malfunctions.

[Patagonie]

Things start to be interconnected more and more.
     
She is asking a female friend about the travel   
While I am redirecting her to one female friend of mine for the same purpose.         
We have more daily exchanges and this intensifies the ossification of the relationship.   
Even with my level in Russian, I am still struggling with the language. It's when you realize what you know, then you understand better what you still don't know. 
   
Someone it reminds me the situation of Lady of Kiev few years ago.In the very beginning, you remember (go back to the topic), when I knew she will be flying to meet another guy in Italy. I had only few days before her departure to Italy and I intensified as much as possible our communication to make her focusing on me.  (of course her interest was already high from the scratch). 
     
Now our communication is really intensifying.

[Patagonie]

Actions speak louder than words   
This is worth remembering when you are dealing with FSU women,
   
Newbies or recent incomers, take note.     
You will be adding weight as soon you start to take real actions with a FSU woman.     
This is why the long remote time pre-romance with no previous visit in her country has limited effects in my experience. 
It's more about "what he is doing" rather than "what he is saying"     
           
I have cultivated and raised my label, I put my personal brand from the very beginning by vindicating to be a latin lover, with a very French Touch Seduction in the blood.
You must understand that I am facing a woman who has been married for a very long time. 
You are the one who gonna to make her discover love again.   
To make her loving love again.     
I consider that's a huge responsibility.   
And love is not only about two bodies making some physical movements in and out.     
it's re-giving her an education,   
Sewing day by day this sexual tension in the background,     
Showing her how aesthetes are declining the romanticism (c'est charmant, c'est mignon) that makes women's hearts noticing. 
 
For all those who would copy this by believing that you just have to copy some poems on a book and send it to her, I would say you are just leading the wrong direction, because you are absolutely not raising the sexual tension. 
But you can play both if you know how to do this and having the right calibration.   
   
I was too high in colors in my endeavors to stay sexual in the beginning.
I have learnt to make it smoother. 
I am shaping it to the maximum power admissible for the moment. 
The beauty of this is when you know her better and she knows you better you can change the threshold of the maximum power.     

I am gonna to teach her again the thousand of variation of a hand moving along her skin
How imitating cats when their desire are face to face with no issue than a war of love
When it's cold in the mountains at night and you have nowhere to go except the shelter of his arms 
   
I have died a hundred times, I can add another night.
 
   
If you wear this special negative-entropy, all time, in the man you are, women will notice it.
And it's nothing about to fake it. It's in you.



 
 

[Patagonie]

I have sent her the necessary documents three days ago for the visa
It does it include the official invitation supervised by the local city hall.
And also the medical insurance for her time spent in France. 
And also I have provided a complete financial guarantee for the same time, that of course needs several documents.
I have also sent some money for the photos, visa, visa's intermediate services, stamps, airfares reservation and correspondences.   
       
Now she starts to call me regularly and we are having fun out of the visa requirements. 
She speaks a little too fast for me in Russian and I need to ask her to slow down a little bit.
I suppose her accent and her high command in Russian don't help. Yet despite the fact that I could understand sometimes some C1 level, all depends on the topic. 
Mobile phones and messenger applications are also guilty, due to a lot of compression, which means that a lot of frequencies are cut off during the communication, the quality badly suffers. 
That doesn't help. 

[Patagonie]

I have finally filled online the visa request.
Now my documents sent from my country should arrive very soon. 
 
I all time find a good reason to push over things in life. 
So at the moment I am focusing more on learning Russian. 
I have online courses through Italki. 
This a huge site where you can learn almost any languages.
The prices have really raised up, but nothing more than the inflation, which is striking a lot of countries, including Europe. And especially last eleven years, and even more, since the war in the East. 
   
We had almost half an hour of conversation yesterday and we had great time together, laughing and learning more about each other. 
My last girlfriend was speaking also almost no English. But at the end we learned a lot about each other. Just a matter
of time.   
However when you are face to face, it's really easier because you can use translators and non verbal language helps. 
On the phone only it's more difficult. I need to learn more. 

[Patagonie]

Great news! 
The documents I have sent 18 days ago finally found their way and arrived to her home. 18 days, we far away from what the guy told me at the postal office (8/10 days).   
Including some money I have put inside. Because of this I was afraid that the parcel could be stolen.
 
So we are both happy, waiting now for the embassy to give her a date for the visa.

[Patagonie]

Newbies and having low experience with FSU women 
I would not recommend to wait almost seven months before meeting again the woman you are targeting.
That's quite a long time.   
I was about to say especially if there are some differences in the proficiency of one of you in the language. But that's finally stupid considering that most of the time, one of the partners don't have such proficiency. 
I would recommend around four months in practice. 
That's what my past practice tells me. 
     
Of course what could be realistic for you will depend on your schedule. And for those who live in the USA it gives you less flexibility in average. 
   
I have already gone through the hassle of the visas. If I remind correctly with my ex wife we did 5, 6 or 7 (forgot the exact number). She was riding 1000km each time to retrieve it at the embassy. Basically 14 hours each time.
Visa is one way of engagement, for both, one way to keep everyone stays focus on the relationship.
That the positive side of this PIA. 
   
Today I am living quite a surrealistic experience emotionally speaking.
But If I remind some of my ex girlfriends in the FSU the frequency+volume of communication was generally not high (And I had some intimacy before the long distance communication). 
   
So I am more relax now, and I focus on really enjoying every day of my life.
You all time have some stuff not ended, that are ignored for months or for years, I am trying to solve them now one by one in the next months.   
   
Everything that she didn't answer has raised my curiosity to the top and she is like a vivid mystery now for me. So I enjoy any interaction with her. 
So I have discovered today she has an accomplice she trusts enough to help her to film with her phone, video she sent to me later. Who is it? Don't know, but it means that I am getting some status. She also discussed about her trip with a female friend, same person? Who knows. 
But these details give you more certainty about the place you occupy on the ladder as official challenger. 

[krimster2]

it's a good thing you avoided the earthquake!!!!
I would NOT want to be in a Thai high rise when it starts weaving back and forth, and you hear walls shattering below you....
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.....

i'be been in a magnitude 7.1 quake, it's impossible to stand because the ground feels like you're floating on a large wave, knocking you off balance

what's the best way for you two to travel around France?
le auto? by rail?  French rail is good like DB!!!  very fast!!!!
not at all like rail travel in the USA

where will you take her for the Normandy beach and Riviera experience?
man having a breakfast omelette cooked in a HUGE stone fireplace at St Michaels was mind boggling
like actually living there for 30 minutes, then back to reality

[Patagonie]

Hi Krim 
   
The epicenter was located in Birmanie. I don't think that they really suffers in the South of Thailand.
What I have observed is that all the land have been rebuilt and more since the last tsunami in 2004 and most of the time houses and buildings are under the next wave. 
The question is not if or if not, but when this wave will come. 
There should be less significant deaths but still a lot of destruction, and likely more destruction because the level of construction has raised up significantly. 
   
In France we will travel by car, by motorbike and subsequently by electric scooters and one time by fast train.   
Fast train will allow us to join Paris, so from my city we can make a round trip and spend the whole day in the city. The fares are pretty high but if you book in advance you can find out some good deals.  You need to know that the country is not everywhere equipped with fast trains. Far from this, the secondary network has slow trains. 
 
Normandy is too far from my place, the beaches are made from stones most of the time. There are many things to see 300 km around my city so I don't need to go there.
Concerning beaches and French Riviera it makes no sense for her, she spent the year two minutes away from the beach. And the beach is open basically all the year due to the weather.
I don't understand why foreigners have such fascination for the french Riviera. In the summer it's overcrowded, it's very expensive, the traffic is jammed and along the coast it's mostly uninteresting.   
   
I target to show her the real places inside the country, wild places, rivers, lake, mountains, tasting wines and gourmand burlesque restaurants. Real France with one night camping in the forest, cosy old rooms in little villages and so on.
I am gonna to show her what NO tourist agency is giving to the tourists. 

[krimster2]

hoepfully she will enjoy the same things you do....
but I am slightly skeptical...

a Russian will look at "Rustic villages" differently than you, not with nostalgia but with distaste
honestly, I always had to take russians "shopping" and they seem the most enthusiastic about that
but it's easy to spend $5,0000 on just one item of French couture (although it will be of the highest quality)
this is why prostitutes exist - they're cost effective - couple of hundred euros vrs a $5,000 dress
done deal!!! 
no bitching either.....prostitutki are ALWAYS easy going

the difference between prostitutki and a girlfriend
you just have expensive gourmet snacks to nibble on now and then
instead of being a gluttonous gourmond and "pigging out"

words of wisdom
cast before swine

at some point you have to get past the new unexplored feeling
and have a "routine life" I don't understand how you plan on doing that

or am I overthinking it
don't worry about tomorrow, just live for today

My English is not highly top notch, so all this part, I didn't understand anything.

FSU women come in different species. 
   
You have the ones who are coming from the cities and must stay in the cities.Any extended time outside a city make them uncomfortable. 
 
I have two examples, my ex wife. When we spent one day on the river she was in disarray and told me "I am not the right woman for you". I basically answered her "don't worry we not gonna to spend all our life on a river".
Wife of friend of mine. She is typically also a city woman
 
Than you have the middle women, the ones who have reached a peak in their age and ready to explore more. I believe that curiosity is of first importance to allow those women to get out of the cities and explore more than the urban/concrete  planet 
 
I definitively had such type of relationship with my ex Belarus girlfriend and with Lady of Kiev.
With this last one we could go into the wild and have a picnic beside a lake, or make a hiking in the mountains.
 For the women who have already traveled abroad and are "really" into discovering cultures (not the ones who are superficially visiting places and shot stupid photos to say in their Instagram "done"), little villages don't have such distasteful aspect.   
I remind last May, just after crossing the border we made a stop in the first "silo, village in Russian" and we were delighted.Discovering the local architecture, a very rare Romanian arena, a Romanian arch, and some nice garden, and so on.
We also stopped in a village in France, without any calculation, and it happened that was an historical old medieval city. We spent there probably two hours at least.   
   
The level of history and culture in France, Italy, Spain, Austria, (and some other countries) is so high that hundreds of life will not enough to explore everything in just one country. 
 

About the villages girls, I never had such. I spent few days who was living in a little city of 20000 people, so in FSU she is labeled to be a countryside girl I highly suspect. I think that she would have been open to explore more than the cities. But will it come from her curiosity, or due to the fact that she didn't come from the big cities? Don't know.

[Patagonie]

So things are moving fast.Not on my side.On her side. 
   
I am pretty sure that her travel in Russia few weeks ago was about her divorce or things related to this.
She has dropped the kids three days to make a little trip in the North of Thailand.
   
Thanks to the documents she gave me I have been able to find out that her ex husband belongs to the well ones, maybe to the rich ones (everyone has to define what is to be rich, many interpretations). I have even one reason to believe that he is a millionaire.
   
In practice the last news I got from her is the practical evidence of the ongoing process I have explained above: she is about to spend with the kids for 10 days of vacations in another country of Asia, and it is not the cheapest ones.
   
By her own and solely means, that's not possible.
   
She has an appetite for freedom and to explore.
We are on the same pitch.

[krimster2]

translation:
girlfriends are expensive in terms of time and money and they tend to dominate yur thinking cuz they control your sex life

sometimes you're better off looking for simpler alternatives
also not a good idea to "look for things you need" in other people
you may get disappointed
why do you need "these things" in the first place?
because of what you're missing in yur life?

the problem for romantics, the romance always runs out sooner or later
then what?

it's best to seek an emotional state of Equilibrium of needing nothing
to live that way, only requires the expenditure of minimal effort
vrs the Romance Construction company you're building
I can imagine yur disappointment, if what ya build doesn't "work out"

who do you serve, when you serve your own desires?
is it REALLY YOU that you serve...
eh Monsier Rousseau?

I am an esthete which leads to radical re-thinking or resentiment
sometimes the most radical stand we can take - is against our own impulses, that we have grown addicted to
that we do without question, because it is 'part of our nature' so we don't ever question it

you should

a starving man can plan for the gourmet meal of a lifetime, but he's probably gonna have to settle for McDonald Trump's Orange Cheesy Burgers made in the USA, tarriff free

Acoustics
so what you are trying to do is to become a "tuning fork" and when you vibrate, get yur partner to vibrate with you...n'es pas?
and that's why you're putting all the energy into vibrating

a man of action and not words

still...
for 500 euros, I could have a 9+ Ukrainian super model for whatever time period I wanted and she would be more tender and kind to me than yur average american girlfriend on valentine's day
do this once a month, and you won't waste ANY time lookin at porn, cuz you is happy and it's WAY, WAY cheaper than a girlfriend
and NONE of the emotional and mental headache
