Yes I think.
I agree it's a great app though.

The World’s Most Important App (For Now)
Telegram played a central role in Yevgeny Prigozhin’s revolt—and in so many other chaotic events that have defined recent history.
Well my grandparents had it but they were more motivated by avoiding getting murdered than what it would be like in the new world.
Turned out for them it was not so great for first generation but got better. One side first generation was a total disaster actually (couldn't even feed their children).
A repeated theme. The poor great unwashed risking their lives to cross the Darien gap are much more motivated by how bad their lives are where they come from than what it might be like where they're going. They basically know the wages are much higher but do they really get the expenses are ruinously much higher as well?
I see hopeful immigrants to the U.S. like "Sanctioned Ivan" (youtuber in Thailand -- escapee from Putin's Russia) have idealistic and unrealistic impressions that are clearly not true but I reckon everyone needs to learn the realities for themselves, just as expats do when we leave.
I don't think it should legally matter to Thailand even if you had five permanent residences in your passport. But I understand how double dipping might confuse some officers. Making them think. Not polite!
Diplomacy could have been simply sending a message of condolence. Thailand doing the national half mast flag thing is overkill and most definitely sends a different and much more disturbing message to those who don't appreciate the Iranian regime..
Yes, and whatsapp rules Latin America.
But I am using Telegram to communicate with certain people outside of Thailand.
It's really quite good.
There are also Telegram channels which can either be informative or total misinformation.
Yeah I'm aware of all that negative stuff and more. EU Europeans don't have any visa hurdles in EU Europe like Americans do so don't be so smug that Albania might be interesting to them.
Also though I'm sure there are Italians investing, living, and working in Albania.
I think gay traveller's are attracted to gay friendly countries in general all year just as any tourism promotion board would.
There is a reason that Taiwan and Spain are much more popular among gay travellers than Iran or Jamaica or Russia.
You have a lot of options short of super expensive places like NYC.
What are you looking for?
Mountains, oceans, lakes, deserts, certain sports, cultural amenities, town or city, size of city etc
Name your priorities and I can make good suggestions.
Can someone suggest a finance calculator where you punch in numbers to estimate how many years a nest egg might last with different rates of return and spend down percentage?
