Food there is generally good, I think. You can have Thai food as well. I am fond of the Thai fishcakes. Good selection of beers. Guido is an active host, too much so for some members, I know, but keeps the place moving. Normally pretty full.

But your blogs are really useful!

Qatar, as we know, is a leading light in human rights,especially in the LBGT area. All a bit of a joke, really.

Do you think it's a visual problem, or a memory problem?

There is usually a political angle in these things, or an interruption in the flow of brown envelopes!

Was there any space for brown envelopes?

I think I first heard that comment about 6 years ago. I didn't know it was you!

I wonder if this is a serious attempt? I gather that powers that be are rather fed up with Thaksin, and that Prawit, 'General watches', is furious with being sidelined.

Thanks. Yes, I remember reading about that. Crazy!

Honestly, a private poker game! Haven't the police got better things to do? More brown envelopes to collect etc? I assume someone in the poker game had upset someone higher up!

Very un-Japanese behaviour, I must say. Although, I had a poor experience in their Tokyo place. I just went there, on spec, and the host turned out to be the only boy available. Their website had a lot of boys. He was adequate, no more. The room was not great either. Mind you, this was a long time ago.

Without assistance?

Better late than never, if it actually happens!

On my last trip to The USA, Las Vegas, I had a female officer. She stamped my passport, not so usual nowadays. I said, 'oh you stamped my passport'. She said yes, I said, 'I'll come again' she laughed! Years ago,now, my first trip to Australia, it was the old system. The immigration man noted that I was a lawyer, and asked what I was here for. I said we were suing a Bank. He said 'good luck mate'!

That would be good!

Useful tip! I intend to apply early for my Cambodian visa. Also, now, for Cambodia, there is another electronic permit you need, but I believe this can only be filled in 7 days before arrival. I don't understand why they need both, since the information is duplicated. Perhaps is a Chinese requirement!

Thanks!

Thanks indeed!

Presumably taken on a Box Brownie!

Always the optimist!

I think he meant all nationalities. That's what I asked. As you say almost all passports now have chip.

Gosh, you have a long memory!

Good to hear. Thanks!

Thanks. I arrive on 3rd, November, then need courage to go! Don't fancy waiting outside in a line, as I gather sometimes happens! Sauna Mania is at least walkable fron Surawong.
