    Bejing using all its power and leverage to make the situation more dramatic, justifying an intervention.

    See what they threatened Cathay with. No way HKG airport authorities would cancel all flights without being forced to by the HKG pro Bejing authorities.  Specially as there was no major disruption to flight operations.

    See the way Chinese press, who has till now kept silent, is now "informing" the masses of what happens. Read SCMP (South China Morning Post) 

    This is a very tricky situation for Bejing as those demonstrations could give ideas to some students in mainland China. Hence it need to be killed in the egg, but not easy because of worldwide scrutiny.

    They used the harsh method against their Muslim minority (Uyghurk) massively throwing them in camps, but they cant do same in HKG.

    But for Xi who has long term plans for a Great China ,no way a few million people are going to stop him. They weight nothing vs the 1,5 Billion "good patriots".

    The only hope HKG has is a massive involvement of ALL the HKG population. But it is to avoid this that China is massively diluting the HKG population with a mainlander immigration since 10 years.

     

    So you will have counter demos, and mainly at a moment the good mainlanders will feel threathened by those horrible mobs, and China will have to come protect them....

    Lets wait and see, but I cant see this going well. 

    On top of this, if Bejing shows weakness in HKG it will make Taiwan feel more confident that they can win their battle for independance...

     

    I think this issue has potential to grow into a massively huge international cluster.

    A very real and serious one.

    Attached to my own personal room? I wish, :default_biggrin: but that's above my pay grade. It's the VIP Sauna-Massage joint next Page 10 hotel on Soi 10. 200 baht for all day with your own table and lounge chairs, water/ice and half a watermelon included.

    All private ?    That looks very good.

     

    So... you could be fucking the watermelon and nobody could walk in on you ?

    Does that pudding come in a can ?

     

    Would like to try that. Not sure how I'd find it over here. I'd even consider ordering it through the mail if I new where what to get.

    I would be interested in anywhere that does Haggis and I found a website that pointed at two in Pattaya.  Links below although the one in Jomtien (Laong's) might be easier to get to.

    I noted a review on Sunny's that they don't always have what is on the menu so may not offer haggis all the time although it was mentioned it was part of a breakfast brunch along with Lorne sausage and black pudding. A long way to go if it isn't available.
