TOURIST arrivals increased significantly last week reaching 655,653 with there being a jump in holidaymakers from China who were drawn here by Taiwanese pop superstar Jay Chou’s concert, TV Channel 7 said today (Dec. 13).

 

Tourism and Sports Minister Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol said Jay Chou’s concert led to the number of Chinese tourists soaring to 100,704 last week, a jump of 23,861 from the previous week, with more tourists also coming from the Malaysian state of Selangor where there was a long holiday.

Thankfully he did'nt need to go to hospital and wasn't caught vaping! :thumbsup:

Or tried to cross a road using a pedestrian crossing, wasn't scammed by a taxi driver, threatened by a Win rider, assaulted by the local nutter, or extorted by officials.

Oddly, he had to provide a hand drawn map to his residence in Taiwan.

I had the same experience, my last marriage visa application I enclosed a google map with my location pinned.

They refused it and asked for a hand drawn one?

I looked at them in complete bewilderment.

Next year, when you give them a hand-drawn map, they will ask for a Google Map printout!  They are consistent in their inconsistency.
