I'd rather include it in the tip paid to my first long time off, that way I'm sure it goes to a deserving case

A friend at the airline sent me this today:

From VN Express Ho Chi Minh City, a major tourist hub, will only consider welcoming back foreign tourists from next year onwards, with this year's focus being on reviving domestic tourism. The city will open up its tourism activities in three phases based on the pandemic situation. During the first phase in October, the city will only allow travel companies to organize one-day tour packages to ‘green zones,’ which are deemed to have low Covid-19 spreading risks such as Cu Chi and Can Gio districts, famous for historical sites and eco-tourism destinations. In the second phase from November until the end of the year, the city will focus on boosting the domestic tourism market, welcoming back tourists from other localities where the pandemic has been brought under control. In 2022, the city plans to resume all tourism activities and consider welcoming back fully vaccinated foreign tourists. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/travel/places/hcmc-not-ready-to-welcome-foreign-tourists-this-year-4367928.html

Weeks after picking up the Emmy Award for hair style and make up design, Bridgerton's Marc Pilcher has died of Covid aged 53. Pilcher had had his two vaccinations and several negative tests before and after flying to Los Angeles to pick up the Award. He had no underlying conditions. Yet still he died. I do not know how frequently this happens but I expect it highlights the need to continue wearing masks and socially distance.

Exactly. You see those gorgeous models on cam sites, but in reality, unless you have made arrangements with those models, there is not a way for you to find them physically when you are already in Medellin. They are not on Grindr (the ones on Grindr are not those good looking, toned, muscled types you see on cam sites). And there is no GP saunas in Colombia like in Brazil. The cam site models are certainly not going to be in the parks or on the streets looking for customers. While we are on the subject of cam site models, my speculation is that, they are happy to expose their beautiful bodies online for some tips, but that doesn't mean they are looking to have sex with older, unattractive men/women for a Colombia price or any price. So, you may have a lot of fantasy while watching them, but your fantasy is just a fantasy.

Many reasons to have multiple accounts, but u suspect main reason is games or used to be games.

Just out: in Ontario, Canada, 3 COVID deaths in fully vaccinated adults <60 yrs age from Jan-Sept. Gen pop is 15 million.

USD 15 doesn't seem like a big deal to me. If it helps Thais who've been hit hard by the pandemic I don't have any issues with it. I agree it will be interesting to see how it gets collected. I remember having to pay the departure tax in cash way back when. Including it in the ticket price was a much better idea.

Sorry, but as for now this is simply not possible-it closes at 21.30 and opens 14 or 15.00-a little earlier on weekends. Was there twice last week-for me first time after at least 2 yrs-you know the reason. Entry has gone up and is indeed now 18 eur-or 16 on wednesdays=clients day. I very well remember in the past it was open 24 hrs and as one could stay for that time on 1 entry and the guys also have to pay-many did just that. Also all normal cabins now have sign telling its for MAX 1 person only-anyone ignores. But you can also rent better private rooms for 1 hr. You have to wear mask at least on ground floor=entry+change room. Outside signs also says one has to wear those plastic gloves---noone does, My first visit turned out a little disappointing-small choice of guys and for me not the right one. 2nd time went better-even though choice as again quite limited and equalled nr. of visitors. But luck was with me and a Brasil guy had me. He spoke fairly good spanish and a little english and was certainly not mr. Adonis anymore. Quite willing to please, but as I found out he had also worked for a short period in Brasil as ´garoto´-or how they call it I led him do the programma and this was a fine decision. Told me he was in BCN now for 1 year but also did a normal job daytime and came in Thermas every other day or so. He even took me to and washed me afterwards in shower-very normal in Thailand, but not here. So I gave him a little extra tip which quite surprised him and some extra ´program service´. This was early evening. I think its better to go for best choice late afternoon-I saw a few guys leaving with a customer when i was there and so I guess this is now their way to find overnight lodgings. Did not see those times any of the guys listed above-the ´arabs´ nor east-europeans. But that could change by the day. I asked this guy about the mentioned Angelo from Brasil and he said he knew him but I could not find out if he was still there or not.

For a different experience, stay at Thermas overnight! You'll see which guys basically live there. It's a diverse mix of 5-6 guys. You can play around in the open, in the showers, in various places in the near-empty building. If you had any fantasies about being locked in a gym and discovering its erotic secrets, this is close. LOL. The premium rooms are 9-10 EUR per hour. Some clients and guys use that for their overnight dates, which would be convenient for coming out every now and then to grab a third wheel. But there's no "pernoite" rate that I know of.

My guess is that a case like this is extremely rare. But I agree there's been a good deal of research showing that the mRNA vaccines have reduced effectiveness over time. It also depends quite a bit on each individual. Some people have stronger immune response to the vaccines than others based a host factors.

I stopped using facebook about 5 years ago after over ten years of use because I was starting to get grown adult friends get upset with me over "not liking" one of their posts. Noped out and I couldn't be happier.

He's famous for several shows, including Downton Abbey This is a sad reminder that the vaccine isn't a cure, and despite all our advances and protocols, there are no guarantees. Really sad to hear this.

In the early-mid 1800s Scotland was at the forefront of technological advances in photography. One who took up an apprenticeship in the art of photography was Edinburgh-born John Thomson. In 1862 aged 25 he set sail on what was to become a 10 year sojourn in much of Asia, including Thailand, Singapore, Malaya, Sumatra, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Macao and China. 60 of his more than 600 photographs were featured in an Exhibition in Bangkok in 2015 "Siam Through The Lens of John Thomson." Thomson's are the earliest-known photos from these countries. His photographs not only introduced many in the west to the lands and peoples of the east, they established him as one of the pioneers of photo journalism. Thomson died 100 years ago last month. Thankfully his negatives were bought up decades ago by the Wellcome Foundation and are now safely stored in London, although prints from them are lent out for regular exhibitions. Copyright of the photos below being to the Wellcome Foundation but were widely used in publicity (e.g. in the Bangkok Post) for Exhibitions in Bangkok and Hong Kong. The Chao Phraya River from Wat Arun Sailing Ships on the Chao Phraya King Mongut (Rama 4) In a Buddhist Temple The Royal Barge Discussion amongst Han Chinese (the pigtails mark them out as not being Manchus) Chinese Ladies at Tea The Facade of St. Paul's Church in Macao (which still exists today) An Exhibition of Thomson's China photographs is presently running at Edinburgh's Heriot Watt University to mark the foundation of the university 200 years ago. The Exhibition finishes on 25 March 2022.

I also like to travel light this is is what I'm wearing when travelling to tropic. Shirt ( I have 7 different colors but the same fashion, all purchased for 300-400 baht on Silom , Pattaya Noght Market or Talat Bobae along Saen Saep canal ) has 2 velcroed pockets ( velcro is great theft prevention tool ) I always take 3 one them , one is on me , one is drying and one ready to use dried already shorts ( only 5 different colors, the same price and source ), 4 velcroed and 2 regular pockets at front and 2 velcroed on the back. I take only one Always do my own laundry and no problem with either one to dry overnight. In case if does not or in need of more formal dress ( no shorts at Grand Palace or Bank of Thailand Museum at Rama VIII bridge for example ) I use long trousers I wear on the flight . I have whole science as to what is distributed to which pocket but that's different story.
