...village's paddies as their own, depriving locals of their main source of income. Compensation was promised, villagers tell me, but none has been paid so far. So the impoverished residents of Mee Laung Yaw village, who lack electricity and eat eggplant curry as a poor substitute for meat, spend their days gazing at their expropriated fields, now fenced in and dominated by an oil-exploration tower that dwarfs their bamboo shacks. Several villagers took lowly construction jobs on the site but they were never paid so they've stopped showing up for work. "I hope they don't find...

Why don’t we take more advantage of it? Worst case scenario, you spend a little time with someone, learn about their lives and their interests. You might learn something new about yourself. You find out what you really value. And, maybe, just maybe, you get a second date...
