I am sure there will be some posters here that will try to spin this to say it was our fault somehow.  

Were you dressed correctly?

Did you wai(t) enough?

non O multiple entries in Vietnam ? as easy as Savanakhet ?

thank you.

No queues at all, in and out in 5 minutes, apply in the morning, collect the next afternoon..

You don't need your original marriage certificate, they do want a handwritten letter from your wife in Thai, asking them to give you a VISA. $200 for multi-entry O.

I am also told that some loud, visible complaining by expats may help to have the system changed and the new boss lady transferred somewhere else... maybe.... someday...

Normally they change bosses when the guy above feels his share isn't big enough.

This is the way CM immigration has always been.

Fly to Khon Kaen, airport bus to the RR bus station, van from KK ring road bus station to Mukdahan bus station, border bus to Suvannakhet.

Although I just fly to HCMC for my VISAs these days, same rules but direct flights.

If you don't do many video chats in 4k parallel then almost any internet connection should do the job.

 

Unfortunately in some buildings they had bad cabling which was "fixed" to often and does not work in the way it should. Your internet provider should be able to find out if you at your connection get the service which you pay for and where the problem is.

 

Didn't everywhere go fibre last year?

Surely the old network wiring is no longer relevant, I want fibre right to my router.

Good for you. 

 

France is not as you well know. French people are passionate of their freedoms, as we all know.

If you choose to share some of the burning street photos from Paris, I will respond with some of the stubbing photos from London, claiming it's all around England. So let's spare the time and no do it.

I don't live in either place, so don't give a damn.

Still thinking about buying a rundown farm in France though.

Plenty on sale for 15,000-20,000 Euros, property taxes put me off though, you need to be over 70 to be excused property tax.

I almost forgot to say, aren't you jealous for French workers, who manage to go through their lives, working less than 40 hour per week and retire in their early 60's if no earlier? 

I retired at 45.

France is almost having a civil war at the moment.

N00b, no photos, hotmail account.

Chances of this not being a scam of some sort ............ minimal.

Needs a mod to get the full details and confirm it's not a scam before anyone would waste their time.

EU promotes work-life balance for its members. By doing this, EU workers have multiple rights and freedoms. With EU's financial power it can set sanctions aka refuse trade deals and impose tariffs with parties, who don't offer those same freedoms to their citizens. 

What a load of BS.

Nearly everything sold in the EU was made in China and other third world sweat shops.

in a normal country, much harder because you have to talk to each other much more.  lol

Much harder because of welfare and divorce settlements.

But then I'd need to define a country with 'welfare' as normal, which it isn't. 

Women given the choice to reproduce or abort is not normal.

This is all a temporary condition in a failing civilisation over the past 50 years.

Normal is women mating with men of any age that can provide them food and housing.

Damn, I wish they'd let me know before they burn the trees. I could have been there. Riders on the storm....

No buds at this time of year, cannabis is phototropic, you need shortening daylight to get buds in a field.

At the moment the plants are only half a meter high, and you can't even tell male from female.

(So a friend tells me)

When the requests for money is eventually denied, probably because there is nothing more left to give,

It's never a good idea to give all.

You forgot us white guys, we're nearest the very bottom, with only Indians below.

Had a list of giveaways one of them being is she interested in your other family members, your hobbies? That sort of stuff. Was gold.

Only one giveaway needed, her facebook page (the one she's logged into on her phone).

Sneak a look at it, and if there are no photos of you on the pages, you aren't important to her.

(It doesn't work if you ask to see her FB page, as she'll have another account)
