I'm making quite the strange experience about something like that right now.
I spend my younger years being pretty much an arrogant and selfish shit, couldn't help it really being totally gorgeous and all, and then I moved to Hong Kong with 22, starting my Gypsy sort of life style. Strangely enough I never realized this very point until now. The point being of what others do and how to live with it. Because in that moving around the planet, of course you pick up friends, from all over the globe, but that specific problem never really comes up, simply because you spend precious little time with each other, therefor don't bother what others do or say, or you are just simply entertained by it, like in that case where I was the Executive Chef in that large hotel in Nairobi where the Financial Controllers wife got some colourful disease from the General Manager which he apparently picked up from a three some with 2 Ethiopean chicks, which obviously upset the French Financial Controller, but didn't keep the German F&B Manager screaming for her at 1am, after she walked out of his house after a short hot session, which I know because he was my neighbour, and all this leading to an unforgettable birthday speech by the GMs Phillipino wife, and yet all those people told ME to behave!
So you spend your life with people that pretty much come and go, sure, there is also some gossip, but basically nobody gives a shit. And then I come here. My wife's hometown. A place where people spend the last 30 years in the same spot! And it's like someone slaps a brick into your face. Hilarious! Who says what, who does who and what, and how much shit they give about it. Since ages!
All new to me but it's sure funny as hell.
