Beauty Queen's Eye-Slant Gesture Sparks Backlash Across Asia
"Photo composite for reference only" so it's not actually a picture of the gesture that caused offence (not even sure if it's actually a picture of Miss Finland).

Cabinet Approves MotoGP Renewal Despite Criticism
Buriram is an exceptional track for spectators, get a grandstand ticket and you can see 95% of the track, even the side stands will allow you to see around 60% of it. They also have large screens so that you can always have a close up view. Plenty of Australians come over for the MotoGP, I also stayed in a hotel in Surin one year that had three coach parties of Germans that had come over to watch it.

Thai Service As Demeaning
Due to a blocked drain pipe making our washing machine unusable, I found myself down at the nearest laundromat doing the weekly washing. Whilst I was looking at the machine that dispensed tokens for the washers, the service lady came over and told me I needed to touch the qr code on the screen to get started. The qr code was in the top right hand corner and about the size of a postage stamp and quite frankly I think I would have been there for a while before I spotted it. She then told me that if I didn't have the means to scan the QR code and pay via a banking app she would quite happily take the cash from me and use her own phone to buy the necessary tokens. Funnily enough, I didn't walk away feeling hurt or demeaned in any way, quite the opposite.

Getting your Omega 3 fatty acids in Thailand
I regularly eat sardines in oil for breakfast a couple of times a week but I refuse to pay over 100 baht for the Norwegian variety when I can get SeaCrown for less than half that. I usually add some chopped shallots and a chopped up hard-boiled egg and eat it on a slice of toast. For canned mackerel I like the Sealect variety in a spicy sauce, I don't like any canned fish in tomato sauce. Lazada also has cheap sardines in Japanese sauces such as Shoyu, Miso and Kabayaki. I have no idea how authentic the sauces are but they make a change from the standard vegetable oil. The brand name is Golden Prize and Boon Tree Food seem to have the best prices on them.

Thai Church Accused of Fraud and Misleading Teachings
"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Mathew 19:24 I wonder how the church leaders explained that one away?

Police Admit Shooting Victims in Manchester Synagogue Attack
What do you mean by "your lot"? The incident you are referring to was in the USA, I'm British. The synagogue attack was in the UK and has nothing to do with the USA.
