What's her name? And you still have a blurry memory of her by any chance? Men just don't remember the details in life that well, not like us...

Yes I do remember who she was and where we were and what we ate. But the rest is a secret.

**************************

I always like the layout of the blog page. If only your email address becomes a hyperlink, it would be perfect.

Done. Your wish is my command

*************************

P.S. More request (do not yell at my message) - can you add a golf report page ? Just to let us know the golf courses you've played and your comments on them - like your flight report. Things including course condition, facilities, caddy, difficulty, scenery, fee, how to get there, etc. presented in your own style, but not the rating. I am sure you can provide a variety of information as you've played around the world. A picture of each course is also helps visualization.

But please.............. I also want to read the next chapter of "how the world turns".

Very demanding ! www.thaigolfer.com has good course reviews for Thailand

*****************

I am very much surprised that you defended Thailand !! Did you really send
your note directly to the Guardian's editor or just presented it on your
web site ?

Yes I did write to the Guardian and no they have not replied yet.
******************

please don't say you are sick as dog coz it may capture this dog-lover's attention -- and that surely is not what you want :)

OK; how about sick as a parrot?

******************

Checked out your site. Good to have some clear perspective from Thailand regarding many things.

Just a quick note: on your blog you have living in china listed as a hong kong blog, but, in fact, most of the people running it are on the mainland. just a little help.

I am one of maybe three? people blogging on living in china from hong kong.

Keep up the good site. I like it.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Robert, you wrote about Valuair in 3004 !!

I can't wait until then to fly to HKG & SIN with this airline :)

Oops; must be time travel?

Why take the time to send anything if all you send is this gobble-de-gook !?

******************

I've been following your commentaries on the Iraq war. Your apology is accepted though belated.   Although I knew you would support Blair's position, I still can't accept that you bought the unilateral pre-emptive
strike doctrine of the Bushies.   As a true fence sitting Canadian, it has been hard following the American public's blind acceptance of Bush's "crusade" (the last poll I read found that 41% of the American Public
believe that WMD have already been found).   Watching the cheerleading "Fox News" during the war made CNN look like a bureau for Al-Jazeera and they were rewarded with higher ratings!.   Now the rest of the world has to appease the Bushies for their failure to join the coalition in their "just" war.   In Canada we have to join the US in a missile defence program, water down our planned decriminalization of marijuana and abandon the planned Montreal-Beruit air connection (too big a security risk) in the hope our next PM (forget about Chretien who is persona non grata with Bush) will get an invite to Texas like PM Howard. The only upside to all of this that the US economy has tanked so badly that the CDN$ is finally showing some value.

Hopefully the effects of the Iraq war, Sars and the West Nile Virus will soon pass and the universe will be back to its rightful order (the Jays are actually in contention - what happened to Watford this year?).
