It was not speck, flight was to Narita. Memorable for me not only because of Fuji but also because it was my first A380 flight

confirmed, I wish it was only 12 hours, sigh. I took two 1 week trip , both in October , in 2018 and 2019. First was just trial run to see if I like such short time there in embraces of such long flight at both ends. I liked . Next trip was bit opportunistic, somebody asked to accompany him on business trip but was equally enjoyable. In such short trip it's not long flight which is problem , it's jet lag

+1

that's the roughly view I recall . it was Bangkok -Narita morning flight. So we both got lucky

now you got me really curious. Great news coming from Patpong it seems

Finally ! Very thank you. only piece of info missing is type of boys, where they place on the scale between Schwarzenegger and skeleton? Is off fee also 400 ? anyways it's only matter of time before they will raise to what their neighbors are charging.

I'm grateful for all those Boeings , Airbuses, Embraers , Ilyushin's and Ils ( aircraft, not sickness ) which over years carried me safely to my many destinations, allowing me to use toilet mid-flight in need arose and sometimes even view from 10 km above ( Fuji, New York, Shanghai and northern coast of Siberia from above are with me forever )

Lets not lower our standards here. In Gaza , as in any conflict many babies will be killed. Along with their mothers and grandmothers . That is nature of war. that nastiest of all human inventions. Speaking about babies, wouldn't be nice and world better place if at sometime at end of 19th century somebody choked baby named Adolf Hitler to death ? Palestinian problem stems from long standing occupiers oppression. If Palestine or even Gaza were normal country, way say, Jordan is , with own army , police , money and control of own economy and attacked Israel way Hamas did , any Israeli response including levelling whole place off would be at minimum met with understanding - they got what they asked for. The same way fate of Dresden or Hiroshima was commented and Russians levelling Harbin in retaliation for failed attempt by China to reunite Vladivostok with motherland in 2057 will be. That and not bloodthirstiness of sizable chunk of world opinion is behind of split of sympathy between attacker and attacked visible everywhere , including our illustrious forum.

let's not go too far in throwing ideas. As we see above concerns are warranted. Yes , it may be argued and no doubt with success, that people hiding behind those gates shown above are exaggerating threats they may face. In fact I'm pretty sure they do but still such voluntary imprisoning tells something. No doubt there is classist component in building such gates and shows contempt for fellow citizens , another feature of Latam political picture. Macaroni is right that we should take precautions but not be paralyzed by fear but truth is , it's often locals themselves who install such fears in us tourists with all those warnings: 'don't go there ", ' close car windows on intersection' or 'don't use your phone on the street" . Truth is , even without warnings casual tourist seeing such gates or villas hidden behind walls 3 m tall with barbed wire atop ( I saw those in Lima ,Peru and truly feel sorry for their occupants, what kind of life is that ? I wondered ) will think there's something not right with society here.

what about that local who advised not to go to Salavdor de Bahia? or those doormen advising to stay inside while waiting for Uber? I doubt they are posters here

what I meant by saying 'Hongkongers are already in' was that they are already under heavy hand of Chinese law enforcement so presence of Chinese cops in Thailand would not scare them more , they are scared enough. Taiwanese are different story as they still breathe freely.

Excellent point about Taiwanese. It won't be long before we would see tittles "Taiwanese tourist abducted and taken to China by Chinese cops on mission on Pattaya's Beach Rd" Hongkongers are already in so probably not that much concern.

ever since wars stopped being fought one-on-one every army targets civilians whether intentionally or not. That the nature of modern warfare. ................. Are you sure Arabs are serving in Cahal ? Honest question and I'm quite sure they don't. ............... Soldier is handsome and brave and needs to be said has great sense of humor

sounds like taken from Chapter 7 of " Short History of All Russia Bolshevik Party " by J.W. Stalin

I 'd add 4. on full stomach

at least some justice, sigh

What a nonsensical idea, it's so stupid that I suspect something must be lost in translation. So which law those Chinese cops would follow - Chinese or Thai ? And if say, some ladyboy snatches wallet from Chinese tourist will they be able to arrest Thai on Thai territory ? What about if thief will be some foreigner ? Just ironing such practicalities will be extremely complex, thus impossible without even going into biggies like sovereignty

perhaps disbanding those schools would solve such persisting and yet nonsensical problem

hopefully perpetrators will be found and feed to sharks It was even GThai movie " Is my classmate a gay" based of such nonsencical rivalries. On eof characters when asked why ? couldn't answer and said ' it's just tradition" . At end of day so much about Buddhist values and peaceful society. Clearly Thailand has some violence problems, it's just us tourists who are spared such attractions

Whjy? Are they in need of 51th state or something? Main beneficiary is Russia because it drew attention from their aggression of Ukraine to the Middle East.

in right circumstances straight guy may bottom for you. One advertising himself as "man" most likely won't. One labelled ' top only' almost certainly won't.

Mikok, don't be shy. go ahead and tell us what you don't like

that's nonsense for both ethical and practical reasons. If bar introduced en masse "Thailand first ' policy pretty fast their scenes would be emptying and bar tables will follow. They may be customers who prefer Thais only but I doubt it's massive sentiment. As "foolish" member noted above, being cute counts , not passport or even lack of it. And by the way that policy looked may be good on their sign but in reality there were non-Thais working as well. And sadly, recent purge cleared also few Thais. One who alerted me about being let go was actually Thai

no, it was releasing some venom, likely to mitigate gall-bladder pain

Great report from such short trip. Hope your guy lands somewhere , at least he has his day job. I like that tattoo but yes , I would be bit upset if money I send for support went to such vanity but if no conditions were made , after all it was his money. I had the same with certain HC when I learned string on my quite generous tips after we spent few nights together went to eye improving plastic surgery . I did not detect any difference. Why to spend money on brand name Kleins when fake one are quite passable and in reality either hidden or removed beats me but what do I know? That round of drinks looks very generous although I feel sorry for guy's liver if he needs to gulp alcohol to get some cash.
