I am trying to get back on curating track. It was good to take a little break after nonstop 2.5 years. Commenting more sounds great. I have always sucked at commenting. Because writing for me really takes a lot of time. I am weird like that. I write and rewrite and ponder for half an hour, delete and write from scratch. I would love to learn how to engage better though. Maybe that should be part of my Steem New Year's resolution.

When it comes to new people. I guess they just mostly don't realize the importance of talking with people in comments. Because they mostly have gone used to screaming in empty voids where no one talks back, share something and go on about their day. Like Facebook.

Culture shock for sure, but I needed that experience. One interesting observation another Steemian pointed out - in Thailand it seems everything is at the same place, poor and the ultra rich shopping at the same places, walking the same streets. Really fascinating place.

You know, this year it was only 100 ish, maybe a little more people there at the fest. While, the number was small in comparison to other years, it was somehow more intimate and I loved that, because it is harder to have conversations with 300 or more people. If you can try and make it next year. I have a feeling it will be a big one for Steem next year and I would love to meet you some day too. Steemians are wonderful people, lots of fun stories. Will share some in next posts :)
