Or waiting for an orgasm...... seems to take hours nowadays!

If you're receiving a UK state pension, then the PI is the only country in the region where it is not 'frozen'. This is exact;y why I'm relocating from Laos to the PI.

If you live alone, how do you know if your mental health is going? Does needing to check that you have your clothes on before you go outside count as mental degradation? (I always check, just in case). I agree about different bank accounts and different ATM cards - never know when a hungry ATM will eat one! What is this strange word 'taxes'? I haven't seen that word for almost 25 years 🙂

Well, the Chinese have definitely moved in.. all-year round, thanks to the new train line from Yunnan. And yes, this is the season for 'western' tourists. So loads of western 'gals' wearing elephant pants etc. As for me, everybody just steers well clear of me. That's what happens when you wear a gimp suit to keep out the cold 🙂

"Ya, ya I'm gonna kill you and your mom and your dad and your pet kitten and... and......" I think I might have said this to a school chum when I was 6 years old. Should I hand myself in to the police??

It's a little nippy up here in the hills of Luang Prabang. I had to buy a little 1-bar electric heater to stop my toes getting cold at night 🙂

When it was ThaiVisa I spent more time on the forum. Now there are far too many trolls and idiots - I have more important things to 'waste my time' on 🙂

Hey! Happy Birthday!! 🙂

.. and that's just the women!

Yonks ago, I used to regularly take the speedboat from Phuket to Ao Nang. No life jackets provided - I brought my own and always wore it, much to the 'mirth' of the other passengers who apparently preferred to drown if there were an accident....

You don't have to cut out ALL sugars and starches - you need to reduce them to a low level that your body can control to avoid Diabetes. I eat a banana (fructose) each day, but I doubt that I'm about to get diabetes...

From an old post, did any forum members ever find a source of Fostair 100/6 inhalers? Trying to manage my Bronchiectasis, once aspect of it which has always troubled me is the sudden and uncontrolleable fits of explosive coughing, which physically exhaust me. The Bronchiectasis FB group suggest using a Fostair 100/6 inhaler Well, no chance of finding that here in Laos and from the old AN post in 2018, it seems that I won't be able to find it in Thailand. Do any pharmacies ship internationally? Otherwise, I could try to persuade my brother in the UK to claim this illness and get it delivered to his home address from a UK online pharmacy, and then try to ship it to Laos, (which often ends in 'parcel lost'.....)

Well, something like that!! 🙂 Or that I love to eat shell-fish etc , all said with a completely innocent look on my face!

I enjoy mispronouncing Thai words while looking totally innocent... I just love the snow.... 🙂

well, the Lao text is correct, the English is not, and don't ask me about the Chinese 'cos I don't have a clue.....

Comes from using my stupid mobile phone to post - my deepest apologies! Oh wait a moment! What on Earth are you talking about? I see no spelling mistake....

lol - I'm a Science teacher who can't spell!

Lol - spotted this sign in Luang Prabang 🙂 The Lao says 'land for rent'. How can they get 2 out of 4 letters wrong? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ

This came as a great shock to me - unable to access gimpsuitworld.com 🙂

@ Burma Bill, yes it's Naypyitaw again 🙂 One reason why NPT is a good destination, (apart from nearby Sama Mountain Orphanage), is that I can make myself a nuisance at the government ministry offices, gently lobbying in person until they get sick of my visits and grant me what I'm after. For education, I would need to consider what the Education Ministry could do that benefits the students. These ministries are mostly staffed by civilians, who do have decision-making authority, but won't make any decisions if they are worried that their military bosses might have a different opinion. So one has to win their confidence.. slowly, slowly catchee monkey etc. I'm off to Bangkok tomorrow to store some bulky items that I don't want to/not permitted to take into Myanmar, such as my ham radio equipment. But I'll come back to Luang Prabang on Saturday.

Finally got a business visa to re-enter Myanmar for a new teaching job 🙂 Guess the city where I'll be working: - Yangon - Mandalay - Naypyitaw - Lashio - Kawtaung - Wa State

As part of my retirement plan (my UK state pension is frozen here in Laos, same as Thailand, Cambodia etc), I plan to use the Philippines as my 'base' between my trips into Myanmar (when the junta chaps allow me to enter!). I am lucky enough to qualify for the SRRV Extended Courtesy visa, which only requires a $1,500 deposit for a lifetime visa, no minimum monthly pension income etc. I've been accepted for that visa type by the PRA (retirement authority), and I'm in the process of submitting the apostilled documents 🙂

I read your latest posts. It doesn't change her past history....

For the life of me, I can't understand why this thread is still open, and why the OP continues to talk to this woman. Let me put it in simple words to you OP. She is a hooker, simple as that. She sounds like a greedy hooker that will leave you broke With her many BFs, she is also highly likely to have no end of STDs Why are you wasting her time?

Good idea. I watched the live landing of the 3 Chinese taikonauts a few days ago, after their return to Earth was delayed by the micro-meteor hit on their rocket. My young science students (from China) were fascinated by the video 🙂
