Shot of gin usually takes care of those instead. And yes , I do eat street food and ice cream but avoid milk products in first three days I'm in new country. I don't drink water , raw or boiled at all as I consider this preserve of animals. I see that Vinapu has something in common with W C Fields, said he didn't drink water as fish fuck in it! floridarob, TMax and vinapu 1 2 Quote

While technically true, also no known actor has won a Nobel prize. Having said that, Peter Handke won the prize for Literature in 2019 and has written a number of screenplays, plays, directed and produced a number of films. Quote

For English lit I had a Shakespeare history play (easy), James Joyce (hard) and Larkin and Hughes. For some reason Chaucer or any of the more "popular" or "fun" texts wasn't offered at my school that year. Quote
TMax Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I'm there now, in my head that is lol (reminiscing on past massage shops and the fun filled times there) but alas it still looks like late 2026 for the next fun trip to Bangkok. The surgery went well and now the recovery starts, in the meantime I will be doing a lot of lurking here and enjoying the posts and trip reports and want to say a big thanks to you guys for sharing your trip reports. bkkmfj2648 and khaolakguy 2 Quote
