Tired Old Men - Vientiane Laos
Queuing for my Visa in the "Peoples Democratic Republic of Laos" (there are three lies in this nations' title, see if you can spot them dear readers) I was struck by the amount of Gold Braid and shoulder boards on each and every one of the miriad customs and immigration officials found at the entry point at Vientiane airport. I also noticed that the Communism in this part of the world doesn't do jack for the welfare of the people.

Undesirable Myanmar Activists in Singapore!
The news of the action of Singapore government upon Myanmar activists in the island nation do not surprise me at all. I have been warning these activists that this will be coming. They are not as free as they are in US or in Europe where full democracy is practiced and yet no average normal hard working busy ordinary conservative citizens of the West like activists so much. More so, no government likes any disturbances to their community which needs to live in peace. US government especially doPublication date: 2008-09-18 more

The New Economy is still the Economy
{originally posted at Technosailor.com] So, has anyone else been watching Wall Street do the 2000 style dot-com dance while the TechCrunch-watching, TechMeme-obsessed crowd throws parties like it's 1999? I feel for the guys at Lehman and AIG, some of them my age, now out on the street. In fact, I feel even more sorry for them than I did for the guys caught in the dot-com bust. Those guys in 2000 had skills but no one to pay them. These guys in 2008 have no skill except moving non-existent mPublication date: 2008-09-18 more

Malaysia report
Greetings from Malaysia. I am on a visa run & cultural sightseeing. You should know by now what kind of culture I am interested in. The current lack of tourists in Thailand is a great idea. Last time I left Bangkok there were approx. 500 people waiting in line at Immigration. Then the hall was hot and filled to capacity. Today there were no lines. Keep it up, PAD, Samak and Somchai! Four Malaysian boys were on my flight. They wore pink, carried Gucci bags and their shoes were white. One oPublication date: 2008-09-18 more

Visa restrictions coming to an end?
One of the more unfortunate side-effects of China's desire to pull off a 'perfect' Olympic games was the clamp down on issuing visas to foreigners. It is not untypical of Chinese bureaucrats to take sledge hammer sized solutions to walnut sized problems and this is a case in point with all regular travel to the country having been seriously disrupted for several months. This has caused a slow down in a lot of regular business activity and has impacted foreign visitor attendance at those events oPublication date: 2008-09-17 more

Found: Dinner. Every. Night.
Those long white folded menus stuffed under my door were getting annoying. One day it was Golden Wok on Skillman advertising free delivery seven days a week, then it was Golden Rainbow on Queens Boulevard advertising free delivery seven days a week PLUS a free spring roll with an order of ten dollars or more. And then, before I knew it, I had a drawer full of long white menus listing meal after meal of Chinese food and then suddenly I became blind to the long white menus and their funny translatPublication date: 2008-09-17 more
