What's wrong with insects ( future world food ) and rats??? It was Bro Nanaplazaetc who looked down on eating insects. You obviously have an eclectic and adventurous diet, congratulations. I vary between pad Thai and pie and chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer statements were ever uttered, that were less subjective than this one. Not to mention incredibly cold and unsympathetic. Thousands of businesses that many of us loved and patronized have closed. Many run by really good, hard working people and families. And millions of lives have been devastated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other side of the coin is that it has allowed the local authority to carry out repairs, maintenance and improvements. And there have been some reductions in rent, massage and bar prices. There is no question that some sort of re-set was needed. But this? A bit of an extreme scenario! Not sure about the authorities doing anything they are supposed to do. Not in their DNA. This will likely be beneficial for many ex-pats. Lower rents, eventually far lower condo prices, easier to travel, we are more welcome than usual, and cheaper hotels. For those who are single, no question that the women have gained some perspective, and find the customers and their cash to be far more desirable than before!

Carry out repairs and maintenance ?? Everything looks the same or even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What businesses do you see as unnecessary, when those businesses provided an income, and put food on the table and a roof over the heads of the people who worked in them, and / or their families? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
