I don't envy the man in a green t-shirt. On the one side he's got the Banderite nationalists who want to eradicate the Russians in the east of the country together with the oligarchs and arms merchants who can't get enough of American "aid". This war has been Christmas from Feb. for them. And on the other he's got millions of ordinary Ukrainians who voted for him, who are shivering in cold apartments without heat or power who desperately want for this ordeal to end. They want him to pick up the phone and call Putin and say, ok, ok, we'll do the Minsk deal like we said we would before we didn't Easy call for our man or maybe not.

Which club is this?

Fair enough. But I am on flex time so it's a habit to sleep late and rise late and my body clock knows to leave me alone. But, as you mention FLs, actually that's a reason I prowled clubs till late. Particularly, CM2 (long dead now but what a place it was) and Mixx till before Covid because I am partial to Russians and Latinas (more so than local talent - grass is greener as they say - but no gainsaying some of these visitors were/are stunning). Now, here was the problem. Babes would hold out as long as possible for high rollers to pop in and offer silly money. But near closing when the lights start to come on they would either (a) call it a night or (b) here's where lusty little people like me came into the picture, take what's available. Many were the times I would stumble home with an 8 or 9 for 2-2.5k. Ah, memories. Incidentally, does anyone know if the Russians (Central Asians actually) or Colombians are back on the scene?

Jeez, Harsh, you need to get off the rocking chair and head out more. Clubs barely get going at midnight. 3am is when they start to rock. And babes start to get drunk and, er, amenable if you get what I mean.

Two weeks ago arriving around 8pm, not connecting but entering into Bkk. Immigration line was hardly 15min. and another 15 at baggage collection. I had nothing to declare and customs didn't stop me.

Hypothermic shock from very cold water?

There are a couple of nice ones on Soi Rangnam about 100m from Century Mall. That would be 5 mins. walk from VM.

For the PP take your old and new so that they can match the old one in the system to verify you are you. Re address change I doubt they require proof like immigration but you could take something that shows the new one. Or best call 02-8888888 now (24/7 help) and get the word from the horse's mouth.

+ 63 25301-2000. If I remember correctly the embassy website says benefits calls should be between 8-11am Tues/Th. Manila is Bkk+1hr. The hold wasn't long (vs. the US no. which I never got through despite multiple attempts) and the woman was pleasant so it seems to be the most efficient option for live help.

I responded to the first notice months ago and tracking showed it had reached. Still got a second one early last month which I responded to as well. Just to be sure I emailed copies of the second form to both Manila and PA. Then I called Manila couple of days ago and the woman said they had found me in their system and not to worry. Not sure what was in the system, the first one or second, but fingers crossed in any case that I'll come to no harm.
