This is all i use now in the shower, no need for fancy shampoos etc in fact basic soap cleans better than any others including those 'antiseptic' ones. Parrot soap rules ! and only about 14b. Growing up in the 50s we never had shampoo etc, at most we had some bath salts.

While i'll agree teaching kids to swim is a priority, that does not help when a kid is in difficulty, unless parents can swim and know how to rescue someone. True story; about 15 yrs ago, i was swimming in the sea and was noticing a strong rip starting i managed to get back in on a wave just, i then noticed a young girl about 8yr old, struggling to come back in, her eyes said it all, I was stood waist deep, and she was only about 6m away from me, but i knew if i went back out, we could both drown, although i had made the decision if she went under i would risk all, but timing the waves which were stronger receding than coming in was not easy, she kept eye contact with me the whole time, suddenly 4 Thai men just rushed out to save her, now they too were in big trouble, eventually i managed to signal to them to grip hands and on the next big wave i dragged all 5 to safety, the 4 men dropped the girl, and went back to the beach exhausted, i carried the girl back to a round of applause when really i had done nothing, laid her down and felt she was still breathing, i held her until she came round. whew i've got tears in my eyes now. The next day she ran up the beach and gave me a wai. . Now i'm really crying. Later that day I called out to some tourists swimming and waved them in, i explained what had happened they didn't go back in.

I pay 50b for my glasses and they are making a profit on that. admitted they are only plastic but, recycling old glasses to poorer nations seems a waste of time and money when they could possibly could just send new ones, i'm guessing buying in bulk are only about 25b a pair. Some foundations/charities just waste money on staff, admin etc.

Many branches of banks have closed and ATMs removed, especially those places that relied on tourism. No problem just use another banks ATM. -

And all in my garden, plus; wild spinach, lemons, bananas, ginger, lemon grass, chillies, Krapow and other herbs that just appear. Does anyone know what these fruits are called ? taste a bit like cherries, very sweet with a stone inside, eat one, and after even chillies taste sweet, and beer like lemonade.
