Depending on where you're from they have 30 day visa on arrival or you can just do a 60 day e-visa like I did. I'll renew it soon and may leave the country for a month to explore nearby places while I wait for an education visa (1 year) to be approved. Still trying to figure it all out myself.

Chiang Mai is an incredible area, and being the second city I visited after Bangkok it was a much needed change of pace. Left after a week due to the air quality (could taste the smoke in the air) but will likely return for a while now that it's improved. Really wanted to spend some time in Pai, Chiang Rai and the Mae Hong Song loop area.

Most of the photos are from Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Krabi area. I've since moved on to an area almost too 'local'. As a tall American I sort of stand out like a sore thumb and the language barrier is more of an issue here as fewer things have English translations, though I am always surprised by how well the locals understand English even in these more remote and hard to reach areas. It's just a bit uncomfortable at times when you stand out and is probably the opposite of privacy. I'm just some tall white guy from America that isn't a geriatric British retiree like the few other white people I've seen in this town so I don't really blend in, either in terms of appearance, age, accent, etc.

Walking to the train station in the morning to go check out a different region. A bit bigger than where I am now but still off the beaten path in the sense it's only reachable by train or bus in terms of public transit.

Will post more photos in the future. I just like delaying things I post publicly by a couple of weeks. Not big on doing 'day by day' updates to strangers. :)

One of my favorite places. It did degrade over the years but still very good. Chang Mai? a heaven for some that need privacy.

Sweet pictures! Hope to get there one day myself.

Me and my German friends will like to offer you a toast: Prost! The point was that you were tracked. There is an iconic casino close by. Abstein from posting faces with locations. License plates another no-no.

There are 2 networks that encourage you to sell yourself with your friends and familly, no point in using i2p if you are "prost". Search for the kosher slaver and rice eating yellow belly roach.

Bucharest... Try Constanța :)

I can name that location the people etc... Don't make me trace you!

That's a lot of junk.

Yeah, I'm heading towards.

Testing

No, it’s an argument he stole from white men the 1860s who found Ceres, called it a new planet, but then subsequently found Vesta, Pallas, and the rest of the asteroid belt and then had to come up with a new designation for them because no one wanted fifty thousand planets.

If we find a Mars-sized object outside the Kuiper Cliff (or actually find Planet Nine finally), that will be a planet. Still, the IAU’s definition is bullshit.

That's the argument the nigger who cosplayed Sagan used to promote his planetarium. He was also shilling climate change hoax, so I wouldn't be surprised if Pluto become planet again some time in the future.

The reason it's not a planet anymore is because if it was, uncountable other rocks would be planets, too and instead of eight planets in our system, we'd have hundreds.

That being said, I would find it pleasing if we did just that and then had hundreds of planets.

I thought I was the only sane one on this godforsaken site

I believe this is also how the dynamic works in San Fransisco.

Yes, but they not only dress like maids, there's also some acting involved. Like treating customers as the master of the house.

What are maid cafes?

Coffee / tea shops where the staff dresses like this?

It's somewhat too common to be only considered a subculture, though, it's mostly restricted to Tokyo. And it's not "young looking women", but actual schoolgirls who do cosplay and have jobs at maid cafes.

Looks like pedo bait to me.

Is there a subculture in Japan of sexual deviants who like young looking women dressed up like a french maid?

Mostly to get attention. There are maid restaurants, but the girls working there will only wear the dress inside. The girls wearing stuff like that outside are most likely doing cosplay. Which means to dress up as someone and maybe have strangers take pictures of you.

girls might WORK in theme restaurants , if her face is older looking, but in Harajuku, Tokyo, dressing up and visiting Harajuku, Tokyo from hours away is a big deal on weekends for teenage girls.

Harajuku, Tokyo, especially near Jingu Bridge, especially on a Sunday

A Beginner’s Guide to Harajuku’s Lolita Fashion:

Okay, so why do they dress this way?

(not that I am complaining)

But is it effective enough to wash the stain of Mayor (fake name) DeBlasio away?

Sadly, these good people were thanked by LAPD after the riots.

How did they thank them?

By raiding their businesses and taking their firearms.
