    From just one website:
    "To use an e-cigarette, you load the liquid and apply electricity, heating the liquid until it vaporizes. At this temperature, the chemicals inside the fluid undergo a breakdown process and are converted into other chemicals. Using an advanced measurement system called nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scientists examined the new chemicals, and in the process, found a particularly concerning result.
    When the e-cigarette liquid broke down, it produced both formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents, a troubling result when you consider that formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In fact, the recent article compares the risk of developing cancer from this e-cigarette toxin to the risk of cancer from smoking traditional cigarettes, and states that that the risk with e-cigarettes may be up to 15 times higher."

    And you forgot the stinking and annoying part also...

    Then one can take 65K from their US account  via Thai ATM-save the receipts- place it in a Thai account; and do this every month-bring in the bank book and ATM slips- easy to see and track. 

    ????You don't get it. The problem is there is no money. The embassy docs were bogus. It's truth time . The quake in boots is understandable. ????????

    I live in a middle class neighbourhood in Vung Tau. The young kids on my little street are out running around, riding their bikes, bouncing basketballs, lifting weights, playing badminton -- so very active, smiling and laughing. I see in their faces a determination to learn, enthusiasm to go to school. There's one about a 100 metres behind me.

     

    Many of them, only 5-7 years old, already know a little bit of English and always give me a smile, a wave and hello. Even a "how are you?" Walking past the school, they wave and say "good morning," "where do you come from." They're outgoing in a way that puts Thai kids in the shade.

     

    Absolutely none of these kids are sitting on their butts staring into a smartphone. They go to school 7 days a week, English on weekends. Teacher friends report their kids in the language classes are engaged and rapt in their attention to the instruction. Feels good to be among them. At no time did I feel this in Thailand.

    All work and no play will make the vietkid dumb. ????
