"Notoriously steep road"  ?  Doesn't look like it in the photo.... 

"The officer in question retired last September but was a personnel member with the Defence Ministry"

What does this mean?🙄

I've been using laptops pre-loaded with WINDOWS and WORD for many years without any serious problems. Main usage is writing in English 60% and in Chinese characters 40%.  Same pattern of use for Google Search.

I splashed out on a new lap-top a few months ago, the plan being that 'er indoors would inherit my old one.  However, the new machine came pre-loaded with WINDOWS 11 HOME (not 10  as I had used previously).  This configuration is incapable of operating in Chinese.  Attempts to load the Chinese fonts simply produce a message 'Simplified Chinese IME dictionaries are not ready yet.  Please check status from language setting'  then Language Setting delivers the death blow:  'Your Windows license only supports one display language'.  

It seems that WINDOWS 11 PRO may perform in English and Chinese (though I haven't found any statement from WINDOWS to that effect).

So....

Q1: Has anyone here encountered this problem and found a solution?

Q2: Anyone here using WINDOWS 11 PRO for Chinese language work?

Q2: Any recommendations for a lap-top pre-loaded with WINDOWS 11 PRO?  (I've waded through very many sites for new models, but so far all carry only WINDOWS HOME.

Any other comments most welcome,

TIA.

"A person of different stature", please.  AN is no place for smallist insults.

I found Lampang to be fairly dull. Expected more but was disappointed. Nice enough place but wouldn't hurry to return.

What were you expecting?

Where, apart from the shopping malls and supermarkets ?

I've heard there are plenty of lavatories in Soi 6 or, if you're desperate, Soi 6/1

Why?

Officers from Bang Khen Police Station had been conducting routine patrols in the area when they noticed a young male on a motorcycle behaving suspiciously.

"Routine patrols" !!  Whatever next?

1.  Relie Huanying (Warmly Welcome) might be a better slogan for the campaign.

2.  Presumably the Xinjiang Tourism Board will be part of the Chinese side of the deal?

Motive?

No, the Chinese term is Laowai or Waiguoren. First one literally means "old outsider", while the second one means "outside country man" (or in English, simply "foreigner").

 

Guailo is Cantonese and while yes, Cantonese is a Chinese dialect, it's not "Chinese" in the sense that Mandarin is the official language of China and Taiwan, whereas Cantonese is merely a regional dialect, which happens to be one of the official languages of the territory of Hong Kong. 

Agreed.  Most common (unjustified) insult I've heard directed at foreigners in China is dabizi, literally "big nose"
