  1. Ornamental gold = plated gold? Have you visited a silversmith to have a replacement made in silver? If you are willing to leave that part in silver, perhaps the silversmith will do it for you.
  2. 5-year closure? So this Chinese national wouldn't think of reopening it under a different name or anything like that?
  3. Just remember to put the cucumber in the FRONT this year!
  4. North Korea is a primary source of counterfeit US$100 bill. They have always used SE Asian countries to launder their fake bills. Notice that these notes are all the old style of discontinued banknotes and not the new "blue" banknotes printed in multicolored inks, metallic inks, and incorporating a wide hologram strip. North Korea is unable to counterfeit those.
  5. Hey, in this case, it may have been a Ukrainian! I'm glad the Thais handled this case so expertly and used a multi-Agency task force to sniff-out and chase-down this 59 year old threat.
  6. You left out my part about almost all of them being illegally possessed. Primarily as carry-overs from the decades of war there. And I agree about no attrocities there. I think that the Cambodians truly lost the desire for war after the Khmer Rouge agreed to stop fighting. They were simply tired of war. (Of course, this doesn't include gangsters and criminals, who'll kill you over a gambling debt)
  7. I had always thought it was Cambodia. When I was working for an NGO there, the estimate was one-in-three adults had a firearm. But then again, their population is much smaller than Thailand, so I guess total # is much smaller. -But I still believe that % of gunowners is higher there. Although "legally owned" probably numbers at 100<.
