This looks fascinating. Free on Gagaoolala Synopsis One day, Mob(Atsuhiro Inukai), a college student, realizes that he lives in the world of a BL manga, where the handsome men are approaching him harshly and the ""BL love flags"" are rising every minute. As a straight guy who likes girls, Mob struggles and fights against the hot attackers desperately. (The original manga has become a hot topic on Twitter and pixiv.) To protect himself, Mob reads lots of BL manga comic books and studies every possible case and its solutions. How to resist and escape… Greeting for every situation, Manners of drinking parties, Behavior at sauna, Boy friend of his younger brother and a destined Valentine’s day… No matter how hard he tries to resist, Mob is about to be dragged into this deep BL world. He is terribly fatigued and almost falls down the stairs on his way home. At that time, someone saved him. Mob just remembers his warm and soften back and a faint scent of citrus. After sniffing out all the handsome men on campus, he finally finds the man he was looking for! https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/2420/a-man-who-defies-the-world-of-bl-2021-e01?utm_source=EDM&utm_medium=英文EDM&utm_campaign=絕對會變成BL的世界VS絕不想變成BL的男人

Country Boy II is currently in production. The weird short morality tales they've been putting out lately haven't been great, so hopefully this gets things back on track.

that seems like a pretty tight timetable, but Bangkok seems to have been adding a lot of parks lately along with all of the new transportation projects.

Are more flights available yet? Or are most airlines still waiting to see what happens? I don't expect to see Asia again until next Autumn at the soonest.

The overly dramatic music is a bit much, but this paints quite a dire picture

QR started doing that recently. The airlines have lost a lot of money over the last 18 months. So it's not a surprise they're trying to recoup some money.

this explains why people searching for plane tickets are only finding very expensive ones

airlines have given up a huge amount of their airport slots until March. This is a big part of why flights are so expensive for now https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tourism/foreign-airlines-give-up-80-of-their-slots-at-thailands-airports-amid-uncertainty-of-next-5-months

I think I saw that South Korea is up to about 70 vaccinated now too. I hope Taiwan gets things ramped up too

thanks. I just saw reference on a cute Thai boy's Twitter from his recent visit. I guess it's run by people who also run a massage shop in Ari

Just happened to see a link for this new place on Twitter. (@krubb_bkkth) Looks like a men-only Korean or Japanese spa type place with grooming, sauna, gym and massage. Their tag line is "Men's Only Social Club and Sauna/ Gym / Adult Playground" BTS Phrakanong exit 4. I don't see a website link. Just their twitter account and Line account (@krubb). Looks like advanced booking is currently required

My guess is that airlines will be a bit cautious to see if Thailand really does open this time. The government keeps push the dates and even though the PM announced this, it hasn't been approved health officials yet. Fully vaccinated rates are still under 35%. Until more seats are added prices will be high. There's also a lot of pent up demand. I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza several times. It's a nice hotel in a good location. The only drawback for me is the need to take 2 elevators whenever you come or go. One from the street to the lobby and then another from the lobby to your room and vice versa.

I think a good bit of South Korea's conservatism stems from the prevalence of evangelical Christianity there. I believe there were lots of missionaries who went there after the war. I haven't ever noticed much Christianity in my visits to Taiwan but those have been quite short visits. Politically they seem to be a good bit less conservative than the Koreans, although getting to gay marriage wasn't easy.

if you're on Twitter, BLupdate2020 is full of, well, BL updates. Fluke and Ohm coming back soon

Singapore BL webseries trying to crowdsource production funds

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.

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 think it's Snapchat and TikTok for the youngsters these days. FB is all GenX, Boomers and some MIllenials now. IG is still fairly popular too. Although I think FB is popular generally in some countries. Countries that are new to the internet - Myanmar famously - for example. Twitter is just politics and porn. I'm going to try and take a break from FB to see if I can break the addiction.

sadly it is back. I was hoping it would be offline for a few days at least

another part of the 7 project. Looks very melodramatic

according to the Great Circle Mapper (gcmap.com) the distance from SGN to SFO is 7838 miles which is a little over 12500 km. So the article would appear to be correct

I guess the argument is that control of Taiwan was given to RoC, not the communists, after WW2. And in the intervening time Taiwan has become a defacto independent country. It seems pretty obvious to most people. They have their own government, military, currency, passports, etc. As we've learned in the last year, computer chips are something the world needs and they're something Taiwan makes a lot of. The world has a vested interest in making sure Taiwan keeps humming along without CCP intervention. We've seen statements from sevreal countries opposing CCP belligerence. Biden has been trying to put together new alliances and strengthen old ones to counter the PRC's continuing aggression. As the video I linked above notes, Taiwan isn't really prepared for an attack. I guess the question would be what consequences there would be for the PRC if they attack and wipe out Taiwan? There have been few consequences so far with respect to what they've done to Hong Kong. But I think world opinion is pretty strongly against the PRC and Xi at this point. There's very little trust in that regime. And even if they did manage to take over the country, at what continuing cost? The Taiwanese population isn't going to quietly acquiesce. Are they going to lock up millions of people? I follow the ADVChina guys on YouTube - two Western guys who used to live and work in the PRC and who both have Chinese wives and still have family there. They essentially had to flee the country. They have great insights into what's going on and still have lots of contacts over there. They seem pretty sure that the PRC will not be invading Taiwan any time soon. Given all of the problems China faces it's a little surprising that they put so much energy into this little island.

I think YouTube is eaves dropping on me

Wow. CKS must be rolling over in his mausoleum to see his party colluding with the commies to undermine Taiwan. Chu also ignores all of the non-Han people in Taiwan which is a sizable group. With people like this running the KMT, they have no hope of regaining power. Most of the younger generations consider themselves Taiwanese, not Chinese.
