true, and we're lucky they do.....but it certainly isnt to accomodate non-native speakers, its more an economic necessity, because, apparently English is the universal language of commerce/business.

Still and all, I dont speak a second language, consequently, I wont be traveling to any exotic locales any time soon

ps: I only pulled "Thailand" out of a hat....I could just as easily have said France or Austria or China or Russia.
