All over really but mainly based myself in Bangkok


Great country, spent a few months around SE Asia, starting in Saigon heading North through Vietnam Laos and into Northern Thailand. The islands etc in the South were my favourite especaily Ko Chang, Samet and Railay Beach area.

God I'd love to be there now.

7. I can buy a mustang without having to import it and get ripped off by customs who want to rinse my pocket like everything else in Britain

On the other side, no health service, a murder rate 5 times higher than UK, one of the worlds highest obesity rates, 9% unemployment, ignorance of anything that goes on outside of America, and (except HBO) terrible, terrible tv

Health service - luck of the draw. some jobs you get covered as well.

Murder rate higher - no its not. The UK's murder rate in correlation to population is much higher than the USA and in all cases off violent crime its higher than the USA. Obviously the USA's overall figures are going to be higher because its a larger country with more people but when you divide the number of crimes per person their figures are actually lower.

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/ ... -europe.do

statistics: http://wheelgun.blogspot.com/2009/07/pe ... -true.html

high obesity rate - welcome to Britain. Its completely down to the individual and their lifestyle, not the country. Loads of americans are fit as well. Stop watching channel 4 documentaries. im fat and im from britain but lets blame america for that shall we? :lol:

9% unemployment - 20% for youngsters here as well as graduates struggling to get jobs and jobs being outsourced over to the far east in the sector i want to work in. America's industry in that sector is growing with companies taking on staff left, right and centre. its also cheaper to set up, run and maintain your own business.

TV - exactly the same as here to be honest. Biased BBC drivel which was evident during the student protests.

'the violent thugs are attacking the police'

when in reality it was

'the police are attacking students trying to go to the toilet with batons and charging at them with horses inciting a riot'

We all know what the police, especially the MET can be like. We've all seen them at football games. Any time they have a chance to get a dig in they will and take full advantage of it. The idiots causing most of the problems weren't students but were gangs taking full advantage of the occasion to pickpocket people and so on. Yes the odd student did cause an issue like that kid with a fire extinguisher but thats only because the police basically incited a riot by charging at them with horses and provoked them.

The only news channel that told it as it was, was Russia Today who were horrified by the actions of the police during the protests.

I've had a guts full of most of this country and can't wait to eventually move abroad. The construction industry is on its knees, work is being outsourced all over the world, immigrants are being let in in their droves, human rights this, human rights that, what about the human rights of the victims? the country is going backwards and is becoming more and more of a dictatorship every day. Ripped off for petrol which puts a strain on work, ripped off for everything else. What a farce. Three things keeping me here at the moment

1) education
2) cardiff city fc
3) my family

once education is done, Im moving abroad and I can see the other 2 as and when I please. My mind is mate up with this dive.
