  1. From what I hear Bangladesh is no walk in the par either.
  2. It's called government corruption. Thailand doesn't hold the monopoly on it.
  3. Based on what you say, I wouldn't call it dreaded either. The one and only time I did a run. No breakfast was provided, only 1 bottle of water. We had a lunch on the way back, but wasn't very good. We had to stand in line to get checked into Cambodia and then stand in line again to get the visa and once more to be checked into Thailand.
  4. What about people who use "That" instead of "Who" when referring to people. For instance, I saw a man that was blind." It, more correctly, should be "I saw a man who was blind."
  5. "Wonder why Fox has such high ratings as they claim, maybe because all the other US news networks are just as bad." Maybe you are wrong about that. CNBC and CNN don't fall into the same category as Fox.
  6. It might have been that the immigration didn't look closely at the date on the embassy letter.
  7. People disregard the laws and then get upset when they are caught and have to pay. Interesting!!
  8. What money can't buy!
  9. It's a good idea to back up data from your cell phone to you computer.
  10. I hear incorrect grammar on TV all the time by anchors. They are supposedly educated and certainly not poor.
  11. I don't blame anyone. History is history.
  12. I am in favor of both marching and contacting congressmen.
  13. The top 7 countries with the highest suicide rate are eastern European countries, according to Wikipedia.
  14. Don't you think the article would have said he had any kind of life threatening condition?
  15. I can't read the article for some reason. Unless she was physically forced or drugged she had a choice. I am not condemning prostitutes, but they make a choice as we all do.
  16. I read where they say he died of "natural causes". People don't die of "natural causes" at 33 years of age.
  17. There are many poor people who do not become prostitutes. To say they are forced into it is inaccurate. They choose it.
  18. "It is a true story about the gay and lady boy volleyball team that won the Thailand championship. It's a fun movie to watch."
  19. I would start with about 3 cups. If you have a lot left after dipping your chicken, you can sift out any lumps and save it for the next time.
  20. If I could figure out how to attach pics I could attach maps of Thailand. My bf also has documentation about Toxin with the Cambodian governor, but it is all in Thai.
  21. MSG is in more food than you would guess here in Thailand. Monosodium glutamate is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. Glutamate is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in nearly all foods, especially high protein foods such as dairy products, meat and fish and in many vegetables. Foods often used for their flavoring properties, such as mushrooms and tomatoes, have high levels of naturally occurring glutamate. The human body also produces glutamate and it plays an essential role in normal body functioning. Monosodium glutamate added to foods produces a flavoring function similar to the glutamate that occurs naturally in foods. It acts as a flavor enhancer and adds a fifth taste, called “umamiâ€, which is best described as a savory, broth-like or meaty taste. Despite a small number of person reporting sensitivity to monosodium glutamate, scientific studies have not shown any direct link between monosodium glutamate and adverse reactions. Monosodium glutamate used to be blamed for the “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome†because the first anecdotal report was made following consumption of a Chinese meal and monosodium glutamate is widely used in Asian cooking. Symptoms said to be experienced included burning sensations along the back of the neck, chest tightness, nausea and sweating. However, a double-blind controlled challenge of individuals claiming to suffer from the “syndrome†failed to confirm monosodium glutamate as the causative agent. Other studies have found that allergic-type reactions after Asian meals are more often due to other ingredients such as shrimp, peanuts, spices and herbs. If you think you are sensitive to monosodium glutamate or any other food ingredient, the best advice is to check with your doctor or with a dietitian.
  22. I mean people who don't know when to use "you" and when to use "I", gone/went and generally use bad grammar.
