The land of badly behaving Buddhists {Gadling}

Dec 23rd 2008 4:07PM S.A.M., you're right about our man Hun Sen. Cambo could have worse than him, but you gotta wonder when someone has been in power (and will be in power) as long as he has been.

Former costly cities like London and Seoul are now cheaper {Gadling}

Dec 4th 2008 9:32PM Very true Matt. A place is as cheap or expensive as you make it. If you can do without the "extras", you can save a hell of a lot of money wherever you are.

The Pirate Life on Somalia's Coast {Gadling}

Oct 30th 2008 1:59PM There's a big Somali community where I live too. Many lived in the city and are now moving to the suburbs b/c they have found better jobs. Crime has been virtually non-existent in their neighborhoods and the city is trying to find ways to keep them from moving so that they can keep their crime #s down.

Rick Steves Talks Up Tijuana {Gadling}

U.S. State Department travel warnings. Useful or useless? {Gadling}

Oct 10th 2008 12:38PM Well said. Common sense and an eye on the news beat the State Dep't warnings any day.

And why don't they issue warnings about dangerous places here in the US? We beat most other countries in terms of murder rates.

Three Things the Press Coverage of RNC Didn't Show You about the Twin Cities {Gadling}

Sep 5th 2008 7:42PM Your "take" hit the mark R.B. Looks like I was naive to think that MSP would get good press as a result of the convention.
It would almost be better if they political conventions it in the wilderness somewhere instead of messing with cities.

Three Things the Press Coverage of RNC Didn't Show You about the Twin Cities {Gadling}

Sep 5th 2008 3:44PM Yep Bill. Some people seemed to be in St. Paul just to protest for the fun of it (ie no agenda, just bored and/or unemployed). Most of the protesters were peaceful, but the media only covered the few who weren't.
