as they say where I was born ' bell sounds but nobody knows from which church". There were various versions of reason for sudden closure circulating but I guess it's better to leave them to whispering, if at all , than put in print. Even from their boys I got two completely different reasons.

Great to heat Gop is alive but questions lingers - who was cremated on that Wednesday mentioned in OP. I know dead body but whose ?

in that case , yes , although I observed that usually , regardless of destination, my connecting luggage comes out rather close to an end.

that's prejudice of us, English speaking people. May be less of requirement for Japanese, Brazilians, Germans, French etc.

power plant is one thing and dam across the river is another one

I posted it somewhere already but repeat, Prestige massage by Chong Nonsi station offers treatment called "Jet Lag Recovery" at 1950 for 90 minutes and 2150 for 2 hrs. Hopefully somebody will try it and tells us that it works

size of your endowment perhaps ? Not trying to be smart, while leaving one of Bangkok hotels for breakfast there was short exchange between my boy and night time receptionist and boy told me later receptionist asked if farang was generous. Diplomatically I did not ask what answer was

In May I was flying to Berlin with 12 hrs layover in Dublin. Got both boarding passes at home and my checked in luggage was sent through all the way despite such long layover. I was free to go to the city which I did. Interestingly, in Berlin my suitcase was first to pop out on the belt.

I , with many other hope an pray that we will be able to say the same highlighted part about certain country between Latvia and North Korea before w we close our eyes forever. But since you mentioned US and Cambodia , I'm 100% sure that we agree that USA committed many gravely since against Cambodia in 70 and 80 ties, starting with Lon Nol coup, through secret bombings (Mr. Kissinger, hope you are not cold in hell ? ) to supporting UN seat for Democratic Kampuchea fully knowing about Khmer Rouge atrocities.

wonder no, worry yes. It's always worrying if unpredictable and autocratic country tries to expand it's sphere of influence.

exactly, word for word, what I heard from mine on the way from new Siem Reap airport

there's big difference between being detained and freed shortly after and jailed for 6 years.

my thought exactly I noticed that with age I like better to break my long range flights somewhere on the way as sitting 15 hrs in the same seat seems too tiring

glad to hear you feel better , ready to take on Japan. I suspect AC set too low could be reason for your health troubles. have fun in Osaka
