Yea ... I'd say her 1st day impression isn't going well She was really looking forward to it also. Hope the business end of the trip is better. She's at Guangdong Province, Guangzhou, checking out manufacturing for her business, as things getting expensive here/TH, to get produced.

Scratch China as a close short holiday thought ... ... daughter is there now, and well ... at least the food is good, so far

Like Kamala Beach, and last week supposedly ... not too bad at all ...

😎

What are you trying to do ? The ones in the OP would be quite easy to do. Mine were quite a bit more difficult, especially me & EC, photoshop and had to blend colors & shading to match. Other ones, were just making a transparency, an layering it on 1 or 2 other photos. No program to make the transparency, and had to erase by hand the background. Now one click programs online for most things & free. Here's an online app that will do (remove backgrounds) for free now, just one click & done. link for ... https://www.remove.bg/ Here's a before & after, then you can layer the after on any photo. Layer that on any photo using this link

I don't think there is one that is not overrun. Way too crowded last time there, and off season. Last time, was the last time we'll be visiting, till the next pandemic ... hopefully soon

One can only hope ... 🙏

Wow ... well you certainly told me... 2X. Very insightful and well thought out rebuttal.

Yea, I noticed that. Seems the DNC is about Trump, and what he's done or will do, and somehow not about Harris, and her record or plan for the future. Go figure ... just push the hate. MSM doing the same, with harris on a pedestal for being black (mixed race) and a woman. DEI ROCKS ... no matter the qualifications. Too funny & sad all at the same time. Oh well .... me me me .... GO HARRIS

Rolling the dice .... sushi dinner. Actually the shop is spotless, and sushi, small amount out at any time, sitting on chilled plate, I think. Tasty stuff

Yea, I'm not getting all the SUV designations. Not exactly what I'd call SUVs. Even our MG ZS is silly to be called an SUV. Love the extra head room (not needed), and imagined roominess. But reality, the EP so similarly spec'd it's silly for most to pay the premium 170k difference in price, when ZS not on sale, or 50-100k more when is on sale. Plus of ZS is driver's door, getting in & out with a mediocre back. Higher seating to look down on the little people Shorter for easier parking. More glass and visibility. but less cargo space than EP as ZS is taller, but EP is longer, so does squeeze in more, though 1 pc sizing may be an issue.

Did you get the ticket in the same province the car is registered ?

Did something change, as I've had cars registered in my name, and no different than if in wife or Thai's name, buying or selling. Last 3 were in wife's name, simply easier if I crap out, and she'll avoid any 'death tax' if there is one. First 2 in my name, 2003 & 2008.

If or when the BEV ever dies .... nothing goes to waste. Add to the Solar system. Here's a couple lithium drone batteries repurposed as a power bank ...

I'm going down South again and converting. You bleeding heart Christians and your 'woman's rights'. Y'all really screwed the pooch there ... DUMB ASSES On topic ... yes, still hold the wife's hand, every now & then, when the mood strikes. Though not as much as ex GFs/wives in USA. Hot ... damn hot, and sweaty hands are uncomfortable. I don't do P4P ... so N/A to OP. Get strange looks when holding daughter's hand 😂

I still peek in the toilet, to make sure nothing waiting, out of habit. Even knowing the sceptic tanks are sealed and no real entry points. The house is fairly snake proof. The walled yard, not so much, even after the OTT effort and mod to the gates & doors. They still manage to get in, to the point I'll do a walk around before letting the dog out for a sniff. For a quick P, she's on the leash, so not to run around ... a leash in your own yard 🙄

One bites ...

Don't think I've ever had. Not sure I'd like that. We always have a couple jars of pickles going, and some sauerkraut (not cooked).

Boredom ... how many times do you need to repeat the same history, English, math, physics, geography. How often am I going to use Latin or Spanish. Never considered myself more intelligent than anyone, but other students would take note, study at home, and do no better on tests than I did, by simply sitting there and paying attention when they covered something new. Most teachers go over what's going to be on a major test, the day before. Pay attention, and they basically gave you all the answers to the test. One teacher would tell me, you need to be here, this day, as test the next day That was Spanish, which I didn't even need to be there before the test, as already had 2 yrs of Latin. More about conjugation of verbs (had in Latin) & such, and obviously less about vocabulary memory. I was actually surprised the lack of memory most student exhibited. Really ... 1776, 1787/88/89, how do you forget that. We live in Philly FFS. Can't remember a simple Algebra formula. Refresher after refresher after refresher ...

Stop buying silly priced pickles ...

It was encouraged, I just didn't care. Principle called me in one day and pointed out he didn't need to graduate me, as I didn't meet the required time of attendance already, and was only at mid terms of the year, and not even close to the minimum. Told him I didn't care, and let me know now, so I don't waste any more time coming to class. Grades are way better than average, teachers like me, so let me know if I should quit now, and I'd simply get a GED. It was a short meeting. Except for Chemistry, I'd say the last 2 years of high school were a total waste of time. Hindsight, had I known, I would have quit and simply got the GED a few years earlier.

USA MSM pretty much ignores TH politics. Most Yanks probably couldn't find it on a map.

20+ of R&D, and pushing it ... with pretty much -0- results ... nuff said.

They better up the education system if they want to attempt that. Pretty much the whole world can't compete with CH's business dominance, direct or indirectly.
