Re: Beer
I haven't drunk for about two years now - not through choice, and I quite miss my drinking days. It just got to the point where I would always awake in the middle of the night with a migraine of such unimaginable pain I would sometimes consider just throwing myself off the balcony. And no painkiller...

Re: I'm Locked Up
This happened to me in PP when Cambodia hosted an ASEAN summit a couple of years ago. I was living in a high-rise apartment, and was told to keep my windows and curtains closed for three days, and was threatened with a fine if I broke "the law". It was around this time I got chatting to an...

Re: ABA: Potential Sale by National Bank
I can't remember the last time I used my debit card, and am unlikely to replace it when it expires. How do you pay for online shopping or sign up for online subscriptions? Does the app provide an alternative 'virtual' card? As mentioned, yes, ABA do offer virtual cards - your actual physical card i...

Re: ABA: Potential Sale by National Bank
Less branches and more ATM self servicing centers will continue to be the trend for all banks, globally, until they no longer exist as we knew them 20 years ago This trend has hit the States in a big way also since Covid. Lots of empty bank buildings around that aren't really good for any other bus...

Re: What Do We Mean When We Talk About Southeast Asia’s Demographics ‘Crisis’?
This is a global 'problem' that has been known about for some time now, although I don't think it was given much thought when China came up with its one-child policy to be fair. It's just yet another thing to add to the very long list of 'Things that will bring about the end of civilisation as we kn...

Re: As ASEAN chair, will Laos play it safe on Myanmar?
It's my understanding that one of the founding principles of ASEAN is that no member gets involved with another members internal affairs. I may be wrong, but I'm sure I've read that on more than one occasion. Or words to that effect.

Re: Tipping the food delivery person.
They do a shit job that luckily, none of us will ever have to experience. A dollar here and there means more to them that does to me. I don't always tip, some of them can be a bit stressy - I get it that it can be a stressful job, but most jobs are. When you're dealing with customers, the art is in ...

Re: Seeking advice
Hahah. Yeah, sorry. But haha Just out of curiosity, an no animosity meant at all, I swear, but an honest question - how does it make you feel when you reply like that to a post about a guy that lost everything and ended up sleeping on the streets? I'm not looking for an argument, I'm merely fascina...
