But Japan is currently holds position #1 on my"shit list" ... dumping Fukushima nuclear toxic waste water into the beautiful Pacific Ocean is just too much. Don't get me wrong, love Japan, the food, the nature, the history, the culture, the people ... lived there for 10 years and loved it.
Because I truly care, I wrote to PM Kishida san and and his minister Shiozaki san (once was his driver/security escort back in tha day) ... and basically told them directly:
#1 I will never visit Japan as a tourist (Okinawa excluded) again
#2 I will never purchase any product or service originating from Japan
#3 I will encourage as many others as possible to do the same (#1 & #2)
My #microprotest
Will it make a difference? ... no clue.
But I just could not sit idle while these crimes against nature are taking place. Kill the Pacific Ocean, and we're f*cked.
Now in their propaganda campaign to justify their crimes, they claim they tested the "treated waste" and it is perfectly safe. Oh yeahhhh? ... Riddle me this then ... if it's safe, why not dispose of it in Japan ... ???
Crickets ....

Re: Buying land in Cambodia
I got land in Cambodia recently , We haven’t done anything with it . And guess I never will .
I originally bought it in only my kids mothers name .
She “ hocked “ it and told my servant about it when the time period was about to expire to pay back
She moved back to sihanoukville from kampong thom
So I sent him to pay off the “ loan “ and he got the deed .
Then she wanted to sell it to us , so she can sell it and get more than a loan price out of it
but she can not pay anything so no dice , to me it’s a worthless piece of ___ •
We are holding the deed so it’s in limbo now
.. in my safe with alot of money for the son to inherit .
Who knows what will happen , in another 100 years none of us will ever know

Dead men tell no tales. Suicide can be so convenient.
Epstein comes to mind.
PTSD is a very real problem. Every major conflict has spawned serious PTSD, some resulting in suicides. This generation is much better at managing it. Look at percentage suicide versus discharged personnel leading productive lives.
If the VA was serious is ‘killing’ veterans, it would actively be promoting smoking and heavy drinking. Instead trying to encourage veterans to quit smoking and drinking. Cigarettes can take away lungs by age 50, and heavy alcoholics can die in a few years from liver failure.
Back to the conspiracy theories.

I had it ! And I thought of a lot of other things I had when I was in the jail .
They gave me 6 months I guess but got out in 5 , hell .
I was in for assaulting a police punk .
You wouldn’t believe my latest malady .. and it’s for real .
After I figgered that’s what I had I googled for the symptoms ,
Sure as shit , that was it !
I was thinking of going to the hawaii verterans dept And just for the free maintenance .
And to report my kid here to them to get him a passport . Or booked in , registered at least .
But now with these years of biden I would not trust the woke bassturds’ vetrens dept.
After reading something here just yesturdday !
The embassy hasn’t reply any of my emails lately .
I blame the Politics ..

Re: Buying land in Cambodia
Bullseye ... exactly my plan. My Khmer wife's parents own a huge farm just an hour's drive out of PP ... I may not even need to buy after all ... went and surveyed it yesterday ... really cool spot.Bluenose wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 10:01 am OP, you need to recognize there is a risk involved and, unlike in many other countries, there is no real effective legal recourse if it all goes wrong.
Many land-owning arrangements last the test of time perfectly well - however a few don't. What you need to ask yourself given your brief bio above is:
If in maybe a few years' time when your hard work and financial investment seems to be finally bearing fruit, can you handle it if you suddenly find out either a few i's were undotted or a few t's were left uncrossed on the paperwork, or someone just outright stiffed you, and what you thought was your land is now somebody else's and you are chucked off it without a dime?
You are right, keeping life balanced is key, and you need to balance the risks and the downsides they can bring.
Use the above advice, go to one of the proper law firms in Phnom Penh, take it slowly, triple check everything and everybody, and good luck!
But if I do buy as an independent person on my own, my concept is modular, minimalist and mobile. Just lift with a forklift and put on a flat bed, ship to another spot.
Sorry about all the off topic vet stuff, I usually struggle on key dates like USMC BDay, Memorial Day, etc.
... and on the veterans suicide numbers ... it's officially (by VA's own count) 22 per day.
Math says wayyyy more than your stat given (@other guy). I say it's more like 50 per day if you count vehicle accidents (intentional ... motorbike into a wall at 200mph) ... accidental drug overdoses, and just not giving a flying f*ck about diet and exercise ... but appreciate your point of view anyhow, we just agree to disagree.
Also contemplating, loading it all up and sending to Saipan via slow boat. But Saipan has some drawbacks ... cost of living is high, similar to Hawaii, and medical is limited. Guam might also work, as long as we don't get in a beef with China over Taiwan.

So do the banks, especially if the loan-to-value ratio is now circa 100%armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 8:52 pm BTW, land is hard to sell atm in Cambodia. Hard to buy too, at a reasonable price, because the sellers want what it was worth a couple of yeers ago.

The end-game is that, as the law stands, you will never personally own the land. You can have a long-term lease on it, you can have control over it through a nominee, or you can have a 49% share and control of a company that owns it, but your name will not be on the Title.

Also keep in mind the days you could drop a few containers on a leased piece of land to house tourists without anyone bothering are over. Even in the remote place I live the local authorities show up very quickly to ask you for permits, licenses etc etc which might be hard & expensive to obtain for an independent foreigner.
