Yes, really. I'd love to feel that close to you. Of course, if you have any ideas of your own to add, we could include those, too. :)
I have, but only once or twice. They do have Thai restaurants here. Not as many as Chinese or Japanese restaurants (as far as Asian food goes), but I think I mainly just had some sort of dish with noodles. So, to be honest, I haven't had a true experience with Thai food yet, but I want to. :)
