This is good news that the USA are advising the Americans not to come over. As they have a bad reputation for not paying for their tab at bars and restaurants this leaves the waitresses on 10 dollars a day to pay your meal bill bill. Imagine how you would feel having having to work a whole week without pay so some greedy bad mannered people can eat and drink for free. Most restaurants in Bangkok ask Americans for credit card before taking a order card return after payment if you do not like it they leave

Why the hate for Americans? I would say they are among the friendliest and most courteous travelers. I think if a restaurant is going to target one nationality for “credit cards up front”, it ain’t gonna be Americans they single out. Just saying.

An uncanny debut post, though! I'm trying to decide whether @Kindlyuuncledeserves a welcome to the forum or not . . . a strange post, indeed 🤔!

But, always the positive thinker and having been a N Yorkshire cabinet-maker myself . . . Welcome to the forum, Kindlyuuncle! 

 

Edit: Added the welcome!

Ask the Hong Kongers who they prefer the ccp virus and ccp scam or the Americans. The answer would clear everybody hates the gangsters from mainland China and the Ccp!

The crisis in Hong Kong was easily avoided. Unfortunately, the people most at risk are the least likely to be vaccinated against the illness. There were no vaccination programs  in elder care facilities.  Even  now, elderly people are still unlikely to be vaccinated with appropriate number of doses.  If they do not wish to be vaccinated, then they will slowly die. Sadly, Hong Kong should no longer waste resources on such people. They made their choice, now they must accept consequences.

Agreed. Just one change. I think they would prefer to have remained a British colony or protectorate. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

That'd be before Omicron hit HK I shouldn't wonder.

By the way it's HONG KONG. Not Honk, that's a noise you make into a handkerchief whilst blowing your nose. 😄

Oh and there's a 'u' in 'just.' j St saying like. 😉

Gives the CCP a convenient and more than acceptable excuse to continue to expanding direct control over the functions of HK. A sceptic would wonder.
