  1. It's the jeepneys beeping to see if you want a ride. If you weren't out there walking on the road they wouldn't be beeping.
  2. 11 million baht is reasonable for the Mercedes repair if you consider that they will need to hire a private jet to fly the parts from Germany. I read a while back that Mercedes was going to lock the hood on their cars so only the Mercedes licensed service locations could open it. F'ing crooks. I'll take a Lexus anytime over one of those.
  3. Oh my, NO. A naked morbidly obese Trump and a way past her prime porn star. I'd pay to not see that.
  4. When the local wage is so small that the base foreign pension is 10x the local wage, yes, that's poor. A millionaire (US dollars, not baht or dong) can retire almost anywhere.
  5. Let me fix that for you. Most countries in the world are not Interested in inviting POOR foreigners to retire.
  6. Used to have garmin hand held GPSs. Google maps on a phone are much less trouble. Garmin GPSs are now in the trash bin.
  7. Hardly a full surrender. It left Hamas in control of Gaza. Hamas must be destroyed. Palestinians must be protected.
  8. You always have conversations with yourself, like here where you're responding to your own post? I guess that explains why you support Trump.
  9. Trump always accuses Biden of doing exactly what Trump is doing.
  10. 1970 Dodge Challenger RT convertible. 383 magnum.
  11. You don't seem to avoid the pathetic insults when it's about Biden or the Dems.
  12. Where's all the whiners that say motorcycles are dangerous and no one should be driving them? I would expect the same nonsense about cars when someone dies in a car accident.
  13. I carry a bolt cutter for just this type of problem...
  14. Stop whining. Canada passport renewal is $160 CDN, about the same cost.
  15. The biggest threat to Europe is Viktor Orban and the other ultra right losers that are pursuing the same ultra conservative autocratic policies. Notice how I didn't mention Trump? I probably should have.
  16. Increase the limit on your credit card. Then it really doesn't matter if it takes an extra week to get the refund as you've got the “room“ on the card for other purchases. And if you're concerned that the charge will be there when you get your monthly statement, it's irrelevant as the refund will be there before your payment is due.
  17. Fly EVA, not China. Much better service IMO and I've flown both many times. And spring for premium economy if you can.
  18. They have celebrities on the right? Maybe some inbred country and western singers. Or old and senile actors like Clint Eastwood.
  19. Damn Canadians.
  20. Via Taipei, multiple times daily I'm sure.
  21. Your arrival time will fix the seat not reclining? Wow. I had no idea.
  22. That's pretty much standard “tour tourism“ and it goes on all over the world. Vietnam is the worst that I've seen. We did a couple of month self directed tour a number of years ago while traveling from HCMC to the northern border where we entered China. We'd stop and stay until we were bored with the location and then move on to the next spot. We were enjoying Da Nang and stayed there almost a week. After the second or third day the locals were asking us why we hadn't moved on yet. They said none of the tourists stayed more than 2 days as that's when their “tour“ would move on. I'm sure glad I can make my own decisions and don't need some money grubbing tour guide to tell me what I should be doing.
  23. Only has himself to blame. Why fly Thai Airways when there's many better airlines to use, EVA for example.
