  1. Most relationships in Asia are based on practicality, less so on the romantic Western concept of love.
  2. During my time in Taiwan we also had quite a few serious tremors and a couple of 'quakes, one of which shook our house in Shilhin for several minutes and demolished the plaster on most of the ceilings and walls but, fortunately, did not affect the main structure. Very sorry for all those suffering as a result of the Myanmar/Thailand catastrophe.
  3. While the Danes run their country well, high taxes but efficient government services in return, they have not done such a good job in Greenland where they still control, inter alia, defence and the judiciary. I am told that many Greenlanders are not as opposed to a closer US involvement as some media reports indicate.
  4. I totally disagree. We have no right as foreigners to tell Thais trying to earn a living what items they should or should not sell in their shops.
  5. Foreigners have no right whatsoever to be telling locals what they can or cannot sell. Extreme arrogance.
  6. Man or woman, entirely up to them to choose whatever they want to sell.
  7. Good healthcare, good climate, good food, friendly people. Cost of living. however, not as low as it once was. Purchase price of vehicles outrageously high, and house/land prices on the rise unless well off the beaten track.
  8. The trend has nothing to do with the so-called 'Far Right'. These are simply patriots who are concerned for their countries' future.
  9. The muslim takeover fully underway. Message to Western people, take action. If you do not your children and grandchildren will be living under islamic governments and subject to sharia law.
  10. Message to the RTP, pathetic. Find something useful to do.
  11. I don't believe anything the deputy PM says. He's far from being a straight operator.
  12. He has every right to sell whatever items he chooses. Just tell these high- handed foreigners to get lost.
  13. A lot of noise about nothing of much interest or significance.
  14. Of course we should all try to make the best we can of each day.
  15. Brits are being betrayed by both the government and the civil service.
  16. He can say all he wants about this and other issues however it is the opinion of many that his personal behaviour has not set a good example for his subjects to follow.
  17. The problem is the system itself which is pathetically naive. If course people will take advantage of it. Time for the UK government and civil service to wake up.
  18. Western culture is being obliterated by mass immigration from countries with totally different values. East German Merkel started the rot, and for some inexplicable reason other governments followed. Pretty much unstoppable now.
  19. Worldwide problem. Too many people, too many cars.
  20. Personally I prefer to see a single pigtail on young girls/women, not double, and definitely neither single nor double on older women.
