Guest fountainhall Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 The Thailand ambassador and his wife were introduced to you. Strictly speaking, you are correct as another party introduced them to s few of of us, specifically because we were from Thailand. Besides, I was in a better seat - so I guess I had priority! Quote
Guest Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Some of the east Europeans in Pattaya seem to expect everyone else to get out of their way. I presume these are Russians. However, when visiting Russia itself for a few days, I did not notice any lack of social skills whatsoever. Off topic, i also noticed the young(~20 years) Russians are very cute, compared with their equivalents in Western Europe. Quote
Moses Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 So for example it might say "Kremlin Square" but this useful information is lost when you sign on to view the photos. There are no "Kremlin Square" in Moscow. It is named "Red Square". "Red" hasn't any connection with communists: square has this name more than 500 years already, and word "red" is direct translation from Russian "krasny" which has 2 meanings: "beautiful" and "red" (color) in old Russian language.
