But the world wants a denuclearized Korean peninsula.

Does that world include Russia?

Subordinate

I was warned about it, C.P. (creeping procrastination), by an old hand when I first came here about fourteen years ago; he was the same age as myself, he worked here and had been here for many years, he said I'd probably catch it and slowly, slowly, I did so I don't think it's down to age - like 'the spirit of giving', 'mai pben rai', and 'up to you' - it's in the air!

Experience is the only thing that will tell you but you might end up deciding that going back home is your best bet if you're searching for the real thing!

Identity change has always IMV been unrealistic regarding European countries because of their histories, cultures, traditions, laws, governmental systems (including versions of democracy) being so diverse; Europe is not China, Russia, N.America or even Australia but because of the strength of these other united powers and the geographic unity of European countries, Europe does need strong trade and security alliances within the continent.

Some point to the Brexit vote being won by older people and others dissatisfied with the feeling of their identity being eroded by the undemocratic placing of people from other cultures in their neighbourhoods and those for remaining being the bright young things but bright young things often change their minds when they get more life experience and realise how important indentity is to a sense of well-being.

They'll always be wars and disagreements between rival factions; even the Muslim faith is not enough to prevent those commonly adhering to its basic edicts warring with each other.   I hope Hungary calls Merkel's bluff and sticks it out.

If the F.A.S. is right somebody should tell Merkel and Co. that a sense of well-being is not all about money.

Don't yell and raise voice if you have any disagreement about just about anything, a bill dispute, bad service, or whatever.  It is not perceived well.  Use some language to get your point across as necessary, but yelling rarely helps.

Don't pay for a room without seeing it first.  There are exceptions, but too often you pay for a room and get the room near the noisy elevator, over the motorcycle parking lot, facing the main street, etc. 

Don't hop in a cab or a tuk tuk without fare agreed first.

Don't invest a lot of hard money in Thailand.  While things can be bought you will constantly be at risk and a target.  The risk reward benefits assessment is up to you

IMV a mutually satisfactory conclusion to such an arrangement, assuming it were possible, is unthinkable.

Because you are an 'outsider', the cards are too heavily stacked against you - a definite 'no, no'!

Yep, sounds good

Russia conspicuous by its absence in the piece; one wonders if their bonds will be strengthened by this indication of the loosening of ties between China and N.Korea.

I really don't understand why the fact he's gay & has a husband, has to be made so prominent. Will his sexual identity enable him to do his job better?

If someone is gay, so what?

I expect he wants to show off his partner and be instrumental in declaring his equal right i.e. equal to a heterosexual, as a homosexual, to be married and have the custody of a child; in the future he'll probably get over it but now I expect he's highly excited and in celebratory mood because of the fact that he is able to openly broadcast his marital status in the same way as a heterosexual might.

Like you, I see no relevance in the fact that he's homosexual except that it might be relevant to another homosexual.
