No, I live here in Thailand. I was last in the Philippines in 2014 when I had to make a connecting flight there from San Francisco to Beijing.

I don't tip my doctor or my dentist when I get my teeth cleaned and I don't tip cashiers when I buy groceries. However, I tip just about everyone else because having driven a taxi at one time in my life tips were a good part of my income and greatly appreciated. I remember in the early 1970s Australians would never tip because it was not a custom in Australia but they eventually learned to do it and became very good tippers. The French, on the other hand, could not be excused for their failure to tip because tipping was a common practice in France and they knew better. Also, I tipped in France, so it really ticked me off when they refused to reciprocate. Anyway, I tip my barber a hundred baht for a 120 baht haircut and just about everyone else, even jitney drivers.

If that was true, I'd get my fat ass down to the Beach Road and start eating Thai street food. That having been said, I will now get busy on my newly bought treadmill----which I should bought when I first moved here.

Says the man who can't even come up with a rebuttal. 😆

It's a city where women are women and so are half of the men. That having been said, San Francisco was once a truly great city.

On the contrary, I think it went over yours. However, if it really upsets you so, then do feel free to present some evidence to support your allegation.

Yes, potatoes can be quite expensive there.

Not since early February 2019. However, I do know that if I compared downtown Rayong with downtown San Francisco, it would be the latter that appeared to be a Third World city, not Rayong.

They should send her to Singapore for caning.

When I lived in San Francisco I saw a guy about 25-years-old being attacked by a Pit Bull. The poor guy had jumped up into the bed of a pickup truck that was parked nearby in an attempt to escape the enraged dog but it went right up after him. I immediately exited my car with a wooden Billy Club in hand and whacked the dog on top of his skull as hard as I could and to my utter amazement it seemed to have no effect on the animal. I then whacked the dog between fifteen and twenty times until it went into kind of a daze. I then grabbed a rope in the truck and tied the dazed Pit Bull to the pickup's lumber rack so it could not move. The police soon arrived on the scene followed by the animal control people and then shortly thereafter the dog's owner arrived just in time to tell me that I had no respect. (Had the police not been there I might have had to whack the dog's owner over the head.)

The USA is another country that really needs to grow up when it comes to dealing with prostitution. In fact, if it would stop being childish and unrealistic and legalize prostitution, there wouldn't be so many nutjobs running around murdering women in the USA.

If we did that, we would all end up in Africa.

The Angles, Saxons, and other Germanic tribes began migrating to Britain in the 5th century AD, following the decline of Roman rule there. Before that Britain was inhabited by Celtic people.

These ladyboys are not acting very ladylike.

That would be unfair and discriminatory to all the law-abiding British travelers. 😄
