Let's not overlook that 43% of American adult users of TikTok say that they get their news on the platform... https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/11/15/more-americans-are-getting-news-on-tiktok-bucking-the-trend-seen-on-most-other-social-media-sites/#:~:text=Currently%2C%2043%25%20of%20TikT...

Re: Other than where you live, which country in SE Asia/Asia will you always return to

I have a crush on Thailand, ever since I went there in 1995 in my first holiday as a teacher. Never experienced anything like that. So different from everything I was used to. Truly life changing. The irony is, my plan was to go to China, but the airline I would go with (Tarom) cancelled my ticket ...

Re: Shirtless white guy found near the British embassy looks to be in rough shape

I don't even have an embassy here, the nearest one is in Hanoi. Embassies are their for diplomacy and trade. Of course they also function to help any of their citizens who need passports or help in cases of wrongful incarceration. They are not capable of looking after all of their citizens. Especia...

Re: Regional Leaders Propose Seamless Tourism for Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia

Not sure how this would work. Even though the Vietnamese president proposed this, I can't see VN allowing Americans and Australians to enter VN without a visa (they don't presently qualify under the 45-day visa-free scheme). The powers that be have resisted calls to include them. Some say it's not j...

Re: The Future of Phnom Penh

Do all Americans believe Hollyweird’s version that they rode in like a Clint Eastwood Western to save the day? The Yanks didn’t even enter the war until near the end when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour,it’s staggering how twisted history must be taught over there in schools and bears no relati...

Where's Rozzie Oz?

I thought it has been a while since Rozzie Oz posted, and just saw it's been over two months! As one of the two regular female posters on this forum (Violet being the other, but very different in demeanor), Rozzie's absence is noticeable. Her last posts were on the topic of the Barbie film - there d...
