In the following definition, Japan and Korea are included. As it states, "the definition of Northeast Asia is not static but often changes according to the context in which it is discussed." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Asia I'm not making these subregional names up! They're all defined on Wikipedia and other sites. 😉

That's a regional term that is not as common as the others. I've definitely seen Northeast Asia, which excludes Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

So you would rather call them "Oriental," which was the term proposed by another poster? That's what I was responding to.

From your home town?

By saying that, do you think people will stop commenting? 😂

Subregions of Asia according to geographers, anthropologists, and linguists South Asia: the entire subcontinent including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and sometimes Afghanistan (they're all south of Russia and China, bounded to the south by the Indian Ocean and to the north by the Himalayas and adjacent mountain ranges) Southeast Asia: mainland from Burma in the northwest to Malaysia in the south, plus Singapore and islands of Indonesia and the Philippines in the east East Asia: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Mongolia Pacific Islanders: Polynesia, Micro- and Melanesia, and sometimes the Philippines Central Asia: Uzbekistan and all the other -stans plus Iran, and sometimes central Russia, western China, Mongolia, and Afghanistan West Asia: Turkey and the entire Middle East including Saudi Arabia and the Gulf nations, and sometimes Iran

Keith, can you please share some of your best travel blogs offering Business class deals? Thanks! 🙏

Yes, the Doubletree chain is indeed different abroad than in the old US. Buffet breakfasts in Indonesia are generally huge spreads in larger hotels. Same with Malaysia. You're traveling in Indonesia during the Imlek celebration (Chinese lunar new year), so you'll see the red decorations everywhere. Probably a little less of it in Bali but still very festive there too in the urban areas. In Indonesia, many Chinese guys are cut too. While they're not Muslim (most are Christian or Buddhist), they often like to go with the flow in the genitalia department. The Balinese are rarely cut, however, except for the very few Muslims in the east of the island and a bit elsewhere. But in Bali, as you know, most of the massage providers are from elsewhere and tend to be Muslim.

Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels did some good work in the late 1970s on the NYC subways. But he eventually became a deranged, violent right-wing nut. This story describes him succintly: Sliwa, who has in the past fabricated stories of criminal behavior — by his own admission — to sensationalize the issue, continued on, blaming the altercation on the groups of migrants being bussed to the city from border states. “We’ve got to take 42nd Street back,” he said. “These illegals think they own this state and rule the night. This is our country. If they can’t abide by the rules than we will kick them back from where they came.”

This woman's name is Misty. The video clearly shows her misty and foggy thinking. ☺️

If the term is "quaint," maybe you should just not use it at all? East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander are very commonly used these days. We're long past the time when British usage rules the world. So if those tourists are inded from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, or Korea, it's fine to describe them as East Asian. This isn't a matter of being "PC." It's a matter of being accurate and specific. 🎯

I think they're secretly happy to have Mayorkas to complain about and heckle for the next nine months before the election. What's the sense of impeaching him in February when you can keep him as a talking point all year?

Where's your verified evidence that Stacy Abrams, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore did "EXACTLY" (your word, not mine) the same things that Drumpf was indicted for commiting on, before, and after January 6th? That was YOUR comment above! Yet as @floridarob just said, "you selectively respond and ignore questions." 🎯 Both you and Lewd Licentious Marjorie need to provide all the receipts when you make statements similar to these: “This indictment isn’t about Pres. Trump claiming the election was stolen. If it was, Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton would be in jail,” tweeted U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after Trump’s fourth criminal indictment was handed down Monday night. "And if this ruling holds up, the next GOP AG should go after HRC, Stacy Abrams and Al (inventor of the internet) Gore. They did exactly what Trump is accused of."

Please show us the receipts showing that Stacy Abrams conspired to defraud the government, organized her allies to disrupt election certification, obstructed an official government proceeding, and oppressed, threatened, and intimidated people in their right to vote in an election. Yes, you need receipts for all of those if you want to be "exactly" right in your claims. While you're at it, you'll also need to show the same receipts for Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. Or are you simply parroting Lewd Licentious Marjorie? 🤣🦜 🤣 “This indictment isn’t about Pres. Trump claiming the election was stolen. If it was, Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton would be in jail,” tweeted U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after Trump’s fourth criminal indictment was handed down Monday night.

The current site shows 20 guys. All are bisexual except one (who doesn't offer his services to women).

The same organization, Falun Gong, produces both the paper and the "fake" chinese civilization fantasy on stage.

How far we've come from Bette Midler singing regularly (and marvelously) in a gay bath house! 🥳

The omission of just a few key words makes a big difference!

Russians behaving badly in Thailand, just like they have on the island of Bali.

Yet you said that the "up-market places are still going strong." So they really don't "need" your business at this moment compared to places that are currently struggling. I know it's fun to splurge and treat yourself, but you have a limited amount of time on the island. Give where it's essential! 🙏

According to you, it's actually the smallest of those 'warung' that really need your business -- not the elite luxury places. And, again, I hope you're paying the boys much more than you used to pay -- even above what they're now asking. Devastation is devastation, and you're megawealthy compared to them. The pandemic has had a devastating effect on them. Pretty much every single restaurant and place of business I remember from before the pandemic is not there anymore. Up-market places (e.g. Bambu, Mauri - these are restaurants if you wonder) are still going strong but they are more an exception to the rule than the rule.

I did actually. And you still happily paid for that perfectly pretentious meal!

The one-time MAGA supporter—and author of In Trump We Trust—became a born-again anti-Trumper in recent years, admitting she was “a very stupid girl” to support Trump in the early days of his ascendance. She’s since flip-flopped in her stance on the former president, calling him “the biggest wimp ever to serve” when he bailed on a total border shutdown plan she advised. “Trump can barely speak English. He’s a gigantic baby,” Coulter told New York Times columnist Frank Bruni before the first Republican debate last August.

I guess if you think you're actually tasting 'local flavours' for £35, then you'll probably not mind sampling 'local boys' for £35 an hour. Sing to? Makes perfect sense to me! ☺️

Don't you mean "not that enjoyable" -- for you?
