And Buddha said............? 🙏🙄

Oh, think it´s time for coffee. When I saw this before I read, I thought that they would spend 105 bn on new year fire crackers. See how far it´s gone. Now I start to believe nothing is impossible in the land of smiles.

Yep specifically 105 Billion not 104 or 106. Amazing how they can forecast so accurately.

Here we go, more rubbing together of grubby greedy hands, on the back of loosening tourist regulations for dictator countries, and getting everyone falling down drunk until 4am!
