  1. Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of 1939. It came with the secret agreement(teaming up for invasion of Poland). German and USSR had 20 years of Honey Moon Period, since 1920(from the time of Weimar Republic, before Nazi takeover). During that time, Germany researched and developed military Hardwares banned by the treaty of Versailles (e.g. machine guns, fighter planes, and tanks) inside Soviet territory. As well as the study of military tactics(tank and infantry units combination). That is why their style of land warfare at WW2, looked very similar.
  2. Since late 2005, I have been in Chiang Mai. And I have never felt unsafe here either; I can walk the street before dawn(to go to local market for grocery shopping) without any fear. It is often told that the best of this kingdom is found in the north(including Chiang Mai). And I have never heard of any theft cases in the apartment I live in. In contrast, I have heard of the foreigner(in Pattaya) who has been burgled 4 times in just 3 months(sometime around 2007). Level of safety certainly seems to be different from place to place within Thailand. Do you keep your door open expecting some intruder? In my room, the only possible Intruders are very few mosquitos and a couple of...
  3. Good afternoon. Today's lunch: Teriyaki Pork and Stir fried vegetables bowl(rice underneath). Ingredients: Lean pork, onion, carrot, bean sprouts, and shredded garlic shoots. Seasonings: Soy & oyster sauce, sugar, grated garlic, sugar, and tiny amount of chili powder (for pork). Marinated in sauce overnight before cooking.
  4. A trolly pushing ice cream vendor's daily turnover is often below B500-. So, losing 1000 must be quite a damage. Poor victim. Here, fakes notes are often in a high denomination(like 500, 1000). That's why small scale sellers often refuse these banknotes. Very careful and smart move indeed. When I go to local market, I always prepare a few of the B100 notes and the smaller as the courtesy.
  5. Depends on which nation, as well as from individual to individual. Some are civilized. Som are Not. Thailand doesn't seem to be the safest place in the world, according to the following statistics. thailand peace index ranking - Google Search But to me, it is Safe Enough; I have really never felt any dangerous atmosphere( in terms of violent crimes) while here(since late 2005). And I am more sensitive to danger above average. Most part of this kingdom seems safe enough, as long as we live according to our common sense and exercise reasonable level of security precautions.
  6. Hi, thank you for your follow-up info. So Malaysia and China got an agreement of Prosecution based on the extradition of the foreign criminals(another country punishes foreign nationals instead of their home country)? Or they were simply prosecuted because of their past crime in China itself, in the case you mentioned? Anyway, nice to know those lowlifes ended up in Chinese prison(where they face the harsh enough environment that fraudsters really deserves. Always felt that the modern 1st world is often sick enough to be too nice to those unforgivable bast*rds. Their stockade conditions don't look punishing enough. There should be no such thing as Comfortable Punishment for those ruined other people's life(physically, psychologically, and/or financially.
