From NHK Newsline Every year, roughly 17,000 people in Thailand die from a rare bile duct cancer. The World Health Organization says this is caused primarily by a popular food in the Mekong region. Chop raw fish, add lime juice, mix with herbs and a dash of spice. That’s all it takes to make a favorite dish in northeastern Thailand, “koi pla.” But this beloved meal actually comes with a high risk of parasites that have taken many lives over the years. It's called a liver fluke, and it can be found in freshwater fish in the Mekong region, such as carp. Once ingested, flukes can survive in bile ducts for over 20 years, and cause inflammation.

I keep getting "friends" suggestions from Facebook that are pages for gay guys in the Phillipines, primarily, who want to see how racy they can make their Facebook profile pic. Some of them are really handsome, some not. But bare chests and more are the in thing there. Two profile pics were drawings of guys sucking dick. I guess drawings are okay. Many show the dick hard under the underwear. This one advertises sex, and one of his photos shows cum. Is Facebook watching? I am getting a cheap thrill from some! https://www.facebook.com/ma.tu.129357

He sold the clothes off of his back to try to fend off bankruptcy, but his debts,along with his wife's, are astonishing. No doubt I have not been alone in admiring him over the years. If he confidently hedged his debts by making some money from his older gay fans, perhaps he could have skipped the bankruptcy courts! http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/joey-lawrence-sold-clothes-filing-bankruptcy-article-1.3868657 But, I did always like Mathew Lawrence better...

NOTE -- First time I've seen tourism representing as much as 20% of the Thai economy. From Bloomberg News -- February arrivals from China surge past 1 million to record -- More than 10 million are expected for the whole of 2018 Tourism is the gift that keeps on giving in Thailand, thanks especially to China.

After a long absence of a few years I am back here in America. I am quite shocked at how expensive thing have become. Much worse than the last time I was here. Particularly beef meat. The news media is consumed by the Trump insanity that thankfully we are not smothered with in Thailand. I'm really sorry for those of you who have to suffer through this. It is nice to see some old friends but other than that I am ready to return to the land of heat, humidity and inexpensive boys.
