That doesn't seem to have worked well with the UK.....

Many nationalities would disagree with you...

There's some truth in what he says 🙂 Many countries see aggression as a natural sign of strength. Many Western countries are seen as pussies... I avoid being classed as a pussy by screaming 'FORK OFF' to anyone who even glances at me......

Out of all the thousands of YT videos about tourist locations and the problems that can occur, you just happen to choose a video about Israelis yes?

Being left-handed myself, I I understand that left-handers are more intelligent than right-handed people. In that case, perhaps we should stop righthanded people reproducing? With any other organism, Natural Selection (Survival of the Fitness) means that only the strongest and healthiest of that species survives. Humans encourage the mentally and physically-disabled, such as paraplegics and Down's kids. Should we not encourage ony healthy people to reproduce? (I'm playing Devil's Advocate here).

King Charles is a buffoon who has let his country go to the dogs. He is not my king.....

I would never ride a motorbike in Thailand - too dangerous because of so many 'idiots' and drunkards. In Laos and Myanmar, I only ride a motorbike, cars won't cope with the mountain roads 🙂

So, apart from myself, KannikaP and a couple of others, all other responses are too shy to post photos of themselves or their REAL partners. Got something to hide or what?!

They also seem very stupid. How can a dead man repay a debt? Why didn't they just break his fingers or something? (not condoning this type of violence).

Why don't you walk? When I lived in Jomtien Beach, I would walk every day over the hill to Pattaya to visit Central Shopping.

Indeed! Ham radio is a popular hobby in Israel. I'm often in contact with Israeli radio amateurs. There are only 3 countries in the world where ham radio is not welcome: - North Korea DPRK - Turkmenistan (I have no idea why...) - Myanmar (I was the first resident ham in Myanmar since 1962. It took me 7 years of lobbying the radio licencing office in Naypyitaw until they caved in and issued me my operating permit because they were so sick of me...)

I'm 66, drawing my state pension, and still working out of choice 🙂

If you're referring to me, I don't move around every few months for the excitement - there are more down-to-earth reasons. - I move between Myanmar and Thailand/Laos because there is no 'retirement' visa in Myanmar. When I'm not teaching in Myanmar, then I have to leave that country and 'wait' in Thailand or Laos for my next job, or wait for the junta boys to let me back into the country (sometimes they don't let me back in..) - Until recently, I would stay at different locations in Thailand during these breaks: Koh Phangnan, Samui, Jomtien Beach, Chiang Mai, Nong Khai, Bung Gan, Kanchanaburi, Koh Lanta, Khao Lak. But nowadays I stay in Luang Prabang, because I'm not prepared to stick 800k baht in a Thai bank. I'm in Luang Prabang right now, with my new school employer in Myanmar trying to persuade the immigration to let me back in. Because of the upcoming 'fake' elections in December in Myanmar, their immigration department seems to think any foreigner wanting to stay in Myanmar is a journalist - so they are delaying issue of business visas. I don't move around other countries. Although a nice idea, it would work out too expensive on my UK state pension.

Good idea! Here is a genuine and recent photo of myself. I'm wondering why I don't have a girlfriend....

Well, slight exaggeration there... Myanmar is over 2,000 km from top to bottom 🙂

I like to eat crab, but frustratingly I'm actually allergic to crab meat - makes my face skin go bright red.... (damn you ignorant immune system...)

OK, I'm not shy! Here's a recent photo of my other half 🙂

I agree. Been riding motorbikes for more than 50 years, from Suzuki AP50 to Goldwing 1000. I always shoulder check, never (touch wood) had a bad accident.

I'm always wondered what terrible crime you commited? Nowadays, hurty words would be enough to get the UK police demanding your deportation, but all those years ago?? I guess you murdered a fair few people in the UK lol!

8 - other (medical reasons, crap lungs..)

I NEVER step on drain covers in any country 🙂

Come and live in Luang Prabang (Laos), no fast cars or motorbikes because the roads are so godamn awful, (or maybe it's the Lao temperament). Everyone drives/rides slowly, which makes it much safer for the 7-year olds on their e-bikes...

Expect a smack or two from them if you do that...

.. and if a few hundred Hamas fighters are holding thousands of Gaza civilians hostage, you would think that these civilians, having huge weight of numbers, would turn on their kidnappers and 'eliminate' them. But they don't do that do they....? I wonder why.
