  1. Surely it would be cheaper to get married and then get her to buy your land and then set up an unsfruct agreement give you rights and access. Obviously the marriage is an annoyance.
  2. Sadly there are elements of real truth in those words. I do however hope that there have been some translation errors in the reporting of this story. Otherwise it makes no sense. My instinct tells me discounts under the 'We travel together' scheme (in whatever form it becomes) will continue to offer discounts to domestic tourists, but not foreign tourists. Rather than domestic being offered normal prices and foreigners offered a more expensive premium price for hotel rooms. I feel that this story has been badly and inaccurately reported, but then again very little surprises me in Thailand anymore.
  3. Yes, you are right that parents should advise and guide relationship issues. But given the range and cross cultural minefield we live in today are parents the most knowledgeable to impart adequate levels of guidance, understanding and truth to their children or will they aim to have their children mirror their own insecurities, half truths and bigotries? Teachers have years of training, qualification, experience and mentorships to become a teacher. There is no test required to be a parent. If we value understanding, diversity and tolerance as a society I would argue both teachers and parents have a role to play in developing relationships. In a shockingly high number of cases teachers spend more time with their pupils than there parents do each day and probably have a better understanding of the student as a person than some parents.
  4. I bet girl on girl manga is a massive male interest as well.
  5. Give it a few months and everyone will ditch the masks. A slow start is to be expected but once people get used to the idea again it will become normal again.
  6. A packet of monster munch, a can of lilt and a bar of chocolate. Sorted.
  7. I think we can conclude this type of event is definitely an exception rather than the rule and should not be presented as anything else. If he had done it whilst drunk would alcohol be banned no and for good reason.
  8. On the whole government hospitals are okay - Most provinces have a larger provincial hospital which tends to be better funded, staffed, equipped. In local towns hospitals are usually busy and under funded and if you stay its a good idea to have someone to bring you in supplies as the food is pretty poor. They may also not accept some insurances as the staff may not have the knowledge or understanding to deal with the paperwork involved so will just reject it out of hand. - I am guessing you DVA card would fall foul of this.
  9. I don't understand - If we are all so concerned about the side effects of the things we put into our bodies I wonder if we will have a parallel report from various hospital agencies about the hundreds of people (may be thousand) who turn up rat arsed at the hospitals after overdoing the sauce. Why is cannabis being targeted.
  10. I don't think the baning of smoking weed outside in public should be a surprise. There are fairly tight restrictions on smoking tobacco in public spaces. It is only logical that the same standard is applied to weed.
