I've had the good fortune to live in many far-away places; from Brazil to Tokyo, from London to the Middle East.
'04 and '05 I was working +ten-hour days, seven days a week, eight straight weeks, followed with twelve days off.
Anywhooo, I jus' so happen to hear the Stones: "Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is"; and THEN I realized, NO it'sNOT; so I QUIT, and ended a thirty-five year career in Construction Management.
Since August of 2005, I've been living in Chiang Mai (the Rose of the North), Thailand.
note: The readers of 'Travel + Leisure Magazine' in a 2006, voted Chiang Mai the 5th BEST City in the WORLD!!.

Another one I'll teach her is, I 'll point to sign with Asian skript, and innocently ask her, "Do you know what that says?".
She say, "No, Khun Grandpa".
I'll then tell her it says, "Your Daddy is a ...".
I of COURSE won't use the same answer you did:
"It says, you're a big jerk!!"
ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, to laugh, to laugh
But I bet, I can make HER laugh.
