Interesting

I kept hearing that Thailand is not a third world country. Then a news spot said that if Thailand were successful in permanently deporting the illegal immigrants it ferries back to Myanmar, where they hop on the next shuttle back, the economy would collapse.
Industry dependent on illegal slave-labor: the new sign of success.

Also interesting how Al Jazeera says, "Here's what happened in Africa, Arabia, and SE Asia.... and ____ blames America [Prime example: "The nuclear scientist who was, he says, tortured and detained by America...]."
BBC News covers most of the biggest stories from all areas, and at least gives both sides: 'the scientist, who claimed to be detained by America but America denies...".
And Fox News focuses on the Second Amendment and Democratic absurdity. Love it.

  1. Too bad Fox news has such a global reach. Really. We're loving your blog. Hannah gives us a run-down nearly every day and we're finding it to be just really fun. It's good for the kids to hear from someone who isn't afraid of being in a new country with no language skills, etc.. Asia certainly is NOT Europe, is it? Did the school year just start? How long is your contract?
