Older condo buildings
Rooms in older buildings aren't always advertised by agents. Best option is to find a suitable area, locate an interesting building, go into the ground floor lobby and check the bulletin board for sales ads. 70 meter apartments won't be as common. Look for an older building with 2 or 3 rooms on one floor. Add interior doorways. Many rooms in some of those buildings are owned by a few families, with some landlords managing 20-30 rooms. -

Anyone know if Makro, Lotus, Big C accept contactless?
There are two types of QR code systems. In the first, the code is generated specifically for that transaction, so includes the price. This type does require some sort of power for the machine to generate the code, but not for the actual payment process. The second, which is far more common upcountry, including many market stalls and small shops, has a generic code simply directing to the bank account of the vendor. This is just printed on a piece of paper. You scan it and manually enter the amount to be paid, then show the vendor the "receipt" that comes up on your phone. Some will scan that with their phones, but most will just check the price and account name is correct. This requires no electricity whatsoever, just a powered up phone with a network connection. I tend to use cash myself, but do occasionally go the QR route. One advantage of the latter is no coins are required, either for payment or change, significantly cutting down on pocket shrapnel. -

USA Direction
Most of Trump's nominations will likely be confirmed. I don'r see a problem with them, except for the Neocons. A good way to start WW III if he actually listens to any of them. Maybe they're just there for show. Listen to Trump because God only knows what the Neocons have in mind. Great for negotiations. Still, even if Trump gets his cabinet, he's got a mess on his hands. Musk and Ramaswamy want to cut two trillion dollars. A nice goal, but there isn't really two trillion dollars to cut, unless they cut into the military budget and Medicare/Medicaid in a big way. And I'm afraid the public isn't prepared for the financial meltdown that's in store. But there's no real alternative. The banking system can't handle much more debt, the country owes 34 trillion dollars, and the situation is rapidly deteriorating and unsustainable. Trump won't be running for reelection, so he won't be much bothered by the polls.
