  1. Ask the Don, apparently he's going to one after he gets out of treatment for his alcoholism.
  2. Except storms are not getting more frequent or more intense. Quite the opposite in fact.
  3. Do a wheelie on a scooter in Thailand and the might of Asean Now posters scream for deportation. Double standards?
  4. A phenomenon that has been pushed by governments to ensure the populace is brainwashed into accepting multiculturalism when in reality the human condition favours tribalism. Go against the multicultural agenda and you are demonised as a racist. All from the WEF playbook.
  5. Being racist, as in being a bad thing, is a western brainwashed construct.
  6. Depends on the country. Australia is a lot more open to people from other cultures. My wife has been accepted without issues and we live in a very small town.
  7. Air Asia now require power banks to be carried on your person and not in the overhead locker.
  8. As a former banker he may have spent his life watching fellow Brits suffer...interest rates, mortgages etc. Now it's his turn to feel the pain.
  9. And on any flight into Oz from Bangkok there is an additional security check at the entrance to the gate. I have seen people lose bottles of booze that they have purchased at duty free on numerous occasions. It has nothing to do with the normal security scans that everyone must go through before passport control. Every bag/ backpack etc is inspected by hand. Duty free booze can be purchased, but must be in a sealed bag and delivered to the gate after the bag search. Unfortunately not every knows this and can lose a couple of hundred bucks of fine booze.
  10. Quoting 3 lakh!! 300,000 kyat. Didn't ask if that was short time, long time rental or outright ownership!
  11. I only wish I did!!
  12. There's usually a terminal where you punch in your phone number. No need to use your phone at all.
  13. I wouldn't go to a war zone. Even before the war Mandalay was a dump. No way I'd live there. The Burmese guys I worked with warned to be very careful at night time due to the stabbings.
  14. About 8 years ago at what they call a fashion show they were asking 300 USD.
  15. Cheese steaks or that weird stuff at Nifty Fifties...scrapple? That was a nice cafe. Love hoagies.
  16. You are spot on. When the King passed away, the village boss said over the speaker system that whilst people should wear dark coloured clothing, people shouldn't take offence if some people could not. I guess some posters don't realise that in rural Thailand some people can't afford the expense of even a T shirt. Food takes priority.
  17. I don't stay in a hotel but in my wife's house. It was no hassle getting an E visa from Canberra.
  18. Agree. Everything China does has a strategic intent.
  19. Every technological advance humans have ever made ends up in weapons of war. AI will be no different. Be able to kill more efficiently.
  20. Not where I am in Isaan. They wanted " letter from embassy" which turned out to be a certificate of residence, which can't be obtained on a visa waiver entry. Needed a " proper" visa to be able to get one. Other places may of course be different.
