How much MORE evidence do we need to prove beyond doubt that the mRNA Covid-19 shots kill?
Maybe it's different for everyone. And yes, it helps immensely if you make the most of what you have. But looking at some of the people in my grandfathers generation, I can only conclude that genetics plays a huge role. Did they eat good food? A Mediterranean Diet, not because they were trying to be healthy, but because that's what they were used to eating in Southern Italy, and it was easy enough to find that same food in New York. Did they drink wine all the time? Yep, but again, that's probably par for the course where they came from. And during Prohibition, they made their own wine in big barrels. Anyway, they all lived a long time and I'm sure they weren't event trying to do that. -

Yes, you can use a Western credit card - I use one for all my Lazada purchases - but I don't let them save it for future use, so that reduces the chance of scammers getting a hold of it.- 1

Report Thailand's Beloved Bidet Spray: A Hygienic Tradition with Global Appeal
In canada they don't have any and I miss mine. Have opted for the baby wipes. If anyone else ever noticed, sometimes I come across people with really bad BO and they smell like poop... maybe they should have used a bum gun. No one is really clean down there without one. -

Tourism Thailand's Tourism Industry Faces Pivotal Moment as Arrivals Decline
Too bad, Chinese tourists don't take the bait, and prefer Japan instead... 😆 "Chinese tourists are returning to Japan in increasing numbers, particularly after the lifting of group tour bans by the Chinese government in 2023. A significant surge in Chinese visitors was observed in early 2025, with data indicating a near doubling of Chinese travelers to Japan compared to the same period in 2024. This increase is attributed to various factors, including the easing of travel restrictions and the popularity of Japan as a destination for Chinese travelers. Here's a more detailed look: Increased Arrivals: The number of inbound travelers from China to Japan reached 6.98 million in 2024, a significant increase from the 2.42 million in 2023." -

The day I have to use a phone to read a restaurant's menu is the day they permanently lose a customer. Then of course they want you to pay the bill by scanning a QR code too no doubt? Then they tell you their internet is down. You try mobile data but that fails to work and you can't connect to your bank. The next day: Foreigner Beat Severely By Restaurant Employees After Failing To Pay Bill "Farang deadbeat is in police custody. Hospital refused to treat him because he can't attach to his bank's payment portal. Claims he 'was unable to connect his phone to his bank's payment system to pay the restaurant bill' but promised to pay once he could get to an ATM. Sensing the foreigner would fail to pay, the staff beat the farang with a metal rod after his debit card failed to work as the ATM service was down. Restaurant owner states they 'don't take cash' anyway. The restaurant staff refuse to comment further on this case other to say, their 'Internet is down.' News Details At 6!" Every time I read about tourist being beaten half to death for "not paying their bill" I immediately wonder if the bar/restaurant they went to only takes cashless and the farang can't get his phone to attached to their bank to pay the bill, and then it escalates from there with accusations that the farang is a cheat, a thief, and tried to skip out on the bill when the actual story may be that the establishment requires you to pay electronically but the connectivity to the Internet and to bank portals is down. No thank you. I'll go to a restaurant with a menu and also takes cash. Then there can be no misunderstandings. Then let's not even talk about freaking restaurants robots! Gawd! "Excuse me sir, but the excuse that "The Internet Is Down And You Can't Connect To Your Bank" is not a valid excuse. Unfortunately we will need to terminate you."
