I lived in Chiang Mai and remember the police shakedown checkpoints very well. I was privy to seeing them being not at all secretive about the fact that they were pulling over all tourists and then fleecing

I pulled this up the other day and only made it about 20 minutes into it. It's just not my kind of film.

This might be the only time I have ever taken an interest in the Finnish Air Force. Well done pilots! I salute you

government policy written by people that do not understand that it is they are attempting to regulate...

look lovely. I like how everything is so clean! Maybe that is just years of living in Vietnam talking as trash being everywhere is just the default.

There has to be a way to get them but this will just be one of those things that I will look for when i travel to another country and bring it back with me

for the most part just guessing is good enough for most things but since I am not a very good cook I feel as though guessing should not be what it is that I do.

there are quite a few things here that for one reason or another have absolutely massive import duties/tariffs or are just not allowed for some silly reason. It seems strange that a measuring cup could

in the west I think that dogs are not allowed in almost anywhere for health codes or something. So you can just add that to the very long list of reasons that I am happy I do not live in the west

There is this guy that I know that has two unruly Datsuns and if he is in a place that I want to grab a coffee I go somewhere else. His dogs will go absolutely mental just by Nadi being in the room and

when I run into a person that doesn't like dogs I don't want to know that person. If my dog growls at someone I know to not trust that person as well.

on google maps there is a course just south of here but I went and investigated and there is nothing of the sorts. I have never heard anyone refer to ever playing on this so labeled course either. It's

treated by a service company with specialized fertilizers and PH adjustment and stuff like that? I worked for a turf company when I was in college, it was a pretty great job and there is a real science

while it is good basically anywhere in the states, the hot spots are Texas, St. Louis, Louisiana, and North Carolina. Texas is probably above and beyond the best in the world though. It's like a competitive

yeah that's one of the huge benefits of living where I do. They really do take you to the cleaners at restaurants in the States. This is likely a combination of taxes, regulations, and other such added

Is that because a lot of the population cannot eat pork?

last night something kind of funny happened. I don't speak Vietnamese, and I couldn't really tell what was on offer by the wording on the menu. So I went up to the bar and was pointing at the taps and

there's probably some anti DRM way around this... but hey, I'm not going to argue the benefit of a physical book. If i had roots somewhere I would definitely prefer to have physical books but years ago
