Indeed, it's not sensible to write off Trump supporters as morons, some of them, regrettably, are highly intelligent.

Indeed. I would like to assume that the various categories are uploaded into the software, but this is Thailand! It could well be there was a manual stamping section, that is normal, just that I didn't see it! I was so excited to see the gleaming row of machines. For a start some passports can't be machine read, and there has to be a back up if something goes wrong, so I think that you are safe!

Are they going for a world record? Should do wonders for productivity!

Actually, it's a ferry service. Takes a bit of time to get home, but never mind.... Slow boats to China etc.

11, I'm a tourist.

Sounds useful.

And none of their boys speak English.

You should sell some of your stamps!

Good point.

So he speaks some sense!

Sitzpinkler is very onomatopoeic!

Not entirely, neither is it Australian.

Yes, indeed. I did think about that! I think there were only machines, so no choice. It's becoming the norm.

Came across an airfare too good to miss, he said!

Yes.

There are worrying parallels with Germany in the 30s. Some of the Trump background guys have studied the Goebbels playbook.

We have a different situation in UK. Brexit fans said that all these foreigners were taking jobs from the English. Take back our jobs, etc. Guess what, after Brexit, none of the English people would do the unskilled, low paid nasty jobs. What a surprise.

Quite a substantial ghost!

OK, but when I saw a programme recently, about the California fruit workers, they were very evasive about permits. I any event, either way, I am sure they are exploited!

Very true, hardly anyone wears a helmet, let alone the standard of driving, including drunk driving.

And I suspect that Republicans who use illegals to do their domestic work, etc, will be vocal. I don't think the California fruit industry can survive without these workers.

Leaving today. No line at EVA business class checkin. Priority Lane, open, almost empty, noticed that staff were turning away those not entitled! No line through security. And, guess what, row of machines, all working, to scan passport! Worked a treat. I noticed there were also rows of machines for passports in economy section, and no line. I was very impressed. I was in lounge 65mins after leaving hotel!

Glad you found someone, on app? Sorry it was a short experience!

We tried out the new bar, opposite foodland. Won't last. Very posh, 4 semi circular booths, 3 quite attractive boys dancing on counter, no customers. No idea what they are doing. Most attractive boy summoned, given vinapu tuck. I offered to buy him a drink, he didn't understand! From Myanmar. You think he'd have learned 'would you like a drink'. He confirmed he preferred girls to boys! Not that that necessarily matters. @floridarob has already told the Owner, an American, that he has problems. Vinapu then went off to add to his stamp collection.

I even had the honour of a drink with the legend this evening.
