Woke to Sounds

Lived there for 2 yrs near West Lake (expat enclave), but I'd recommend staying near Hoan Kiem Lake. Keep your wits when out walking as traffic is nuts in the Old Quarter / Hoan Kiem area. In my experience Hanoi motorbikers do not weave and bob around you like in HCMC! I echo the sentiment that December is typically chilly and damp in Hanoi so dress accordingly. If you like art maybe Sophie's Art Tour is offering guided tours again?

At least Mr Obama was an engaging speaker and not a megalomaniac. He even took lunch with Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam. How cool is that.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. - Upton Sinclair

Fine, deport, ban for 5 years. NO EXCUSES for these nuisance types.

One day it might, mate. Not healthy to be heading up some of those steep hills, breathing deeply all those toxic fumes!

Air quality is cr@p for at least 6-8 months of the year; you can't see the mountains or go bicycling with that toxicity. Chiang Mai never disappoints? hahaaahhh

Puck the fope! Cannibals and con men, the lot of 'em.

Part of the transhumanists' agenda - i.e. the woke libturds' agenda - is to destroy people's sense of spirituality and spiritual practise.

Where better really for wolves in sheep's clothing to hide than behind a frock, pulpit, in the confessional, in the classroom, at the temple? In plain sight.

BRONSON!!

Bitcoin and crypto = backed by nothing, absolutely valueless, just machines running full steam 24/7, bad for the environment, a pyramid scheme to get people to kiss their cash bye bye. You want to own COMPANIES - not hot air. Game over for cribtow.

Sad really, but not surprising. Transhumanism is alive and well. It's not about protecting women. It's about confusing the genders =======> depopulation (ultimately).

Whats the lesson here? Never accuse a monk of having a drinking problem, especially when there's an axe nearby?

Throw the book at 'im!

Serious question: Is Joe Biden still president of the United States? If so - where has he been? I don't see him much in the media these days.

I can assure you that is rather uncouth - and doubtless not well looked upon by the buffet establishment owners.

You could say the same about former president George Bush Jr, as evidenced by his appearance several years ago on Ellen DeGeneres's show. (His oil paintings are really nice actually 😄)

Trow da book at 'em!!

True, Saskatchewan as only one example.... but wouldn't you miss the massages? The Thai iced tea? Pad Thai on the street? Probably can't get that in SK buddy!!!

Million bucks is about right when you factor in income taxes and what it costs to live a "comfortable" life all around these days. There is an agenda being promoted in the West to demean people, to pit women against men, to up the stress levels. We see so many cracking now, mass shootings, people going off the deep end, divorces.... As you said, Thailand not a bad place to be for the long haul, comparatively.

The OP claims in another post that Thailand is too expensive for him. Why the hell don't you just up and move to Cambodia then? Or Vietnam? Stop with the sob stories here mate.

The first question for females interested only in breeding -- or taking you for a financial ride down the line... You cannot so much even GLANCE in the direction of a female in the West now without fear of being prosecuted by the law. As I said - it's an agenda. Well, it's less hassle and less expense 😅 -- but understandable considering all the anti-Men sentiment ruling the West right now Still happens but it's the exception not the norm as during my parents' generation (1950s-60s era)

Misleading hl. These dust heads oughta sleep it off somewhere else. Throw the book at 'em.
