Masks - Why still now?
Quite telling that there is no reply from the “health professional” caught pushing mis/disinformation. It’s shameful. The myth will continue. Amazing how dishonest people are. The only people I knew wearing masks in my 14 years here were women who just had a nose job. Lived in Chiang Mai for almost 5 years. Not one Thai that I knew ever wore one….even during the burning season. -

Other expat countries India
Some of what you say Pompolo is reasonably accurate but there are a couple of items that I have had a different experience of. There is beef, although widley unavailable in many areas, there is a steak house retaurant just up the road from the office I was attached to in Mumbai. Yes, they like to stare at the white people although I found the more curious were in the rural areas. Most city folks don't get too excited. I found English was not a problem, across the country however, in the Oil and Gas industry most people I dealt with were educated and English is taught in schools. Again, in the more rural areas where education was not so much of a priority, English was not so common. Definitley rates up there in the dirty countries index. It is not so much that cows have the right of way, It is because they are considered sacred and you get fined if you run into one in your vehicle. I guess that is right of way in a sense. Either no deoderant or some tend to shower in it. Again, most educated people have a reasonable sense of hygeine. Yep, no holding back, mostly from the homeless, having a squat beside the road. Not sure which southern areas you are talking about but the likes of Goa are still fairly liberal as far as clothing etc. goes. The slum areas of Mumbai, which, if you are flying in during the day you can see stretching for miles, definitely smell of sewerage and if you are in the city during the monsoon season expect to gag whenever you walk out of your hotel. Vile, putrid, smells like death. Many beautiful and believe it or not, clean and pristine areas to be found but you have to go way off the beaten track to find them.- 1

Re: Stopping with the raunchy Rolling Stones. Starting with JS Bach Contatas!
You know, guys... One of the minor problems living here is that this place is just a BACKWATER for the Arts... Maybe not quite as bad as places like Iowa, of course. Yet, still a backwater. If you want to hear great music in Asia, then, in the past, before the Commie Takeover, you could hear it in HK. But, as we all know, during the Cultural Revolution, the Commies smashed pianos, violins, cellos, and almost anything of beauty in the world. This is The Commie-WAY.... Never trust a Commie to do anything good. And, Marx was an idiot, too. Note: For sure, Hewitt is always magnificent in her interpretation of JS Bach. Some might not prefer her interpretation, but I DO....Big Time....!!!!!!!!!! -
