Why "must it be vitual tourists"? You can't believe Bangkok is popular. Pattaya is popular because it offers incredible deals.

Thai people keep all types of animals as pets: eg. rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, rats, mice... the list goes on. "animals" will cover most of them with the exception of insects and other invertibrates.

Did you manage a 10.09s 100m sprint? I have no doubt he'll find a good coach and have the necessary motivation to continue. How do you think he reached 10.09 in the first place? At 16, at 10.09s, he's already famous and a household name among the athletic community. The 100m is a gold ribbon event that makes people famous. He's going to let that go? It's already money in the bank.

I'm reading this forum on a 2010 Sony Vaio. I recently thew away a 2009 Compac laptop. Our 2011 MacBook Air has just gone beyond repair with a display sceen and battery problem that wouldn't be worth reparing. My main PC serves me fine, of 2010 vintage. I have some newer equipment too, but old laptops can serve you well depending on what you need them for. On average, a computer will serve me for over 10 years. The old machines do get some upgrades along the way and I also pull them apart and give them a good clean, and some fresh thermal paste.
