She is just lining it up, she is smashing up the Mathew P and lining it up. Not "cutting" it Tankster. I will do a bump of Mathew P off of @DiggityDaggityDo tramp stamp if I ever get the chance.

Laos recorded over 1.2 million tourist arrivals in Q1 2025, a 28 percent rise from last year, led by visitors from Thailand, China, Vietnam, and growing domestic travel.

One of my best friends in the LA area is from Laos. I hope to meet him in the capital city of Vientiane some day.

Ahhh so it’s one of those places I asked about earlier in your thread that’s popular with naturists

When you say "naturists", do you mean people who like to be out in the nude or do you mean people who like nature?

 

[quantumleap]

But how can you explain the rankings above?

I wonder if it's that the women put up with it and don't divorce because of it.

I hear it's getting to be the rainy season there. Is that correct?

It always rains , it dumped so hard, I didn't want to go down the mountain but had no other choice, it was terrible.

For those of you who may think about moving to Southeast Asia, if not permanently but just to visit for a few weeks or a few months, here is an area near Cebu City in the Philippines. It's an enclave where a lot of expats live. Even if you aren't planning to live in the Philippines, other Southeast Asian countries have areas like this so this area represents the expat areas in those countries too.

It's a rather safe place to be and it has all the amenities you want nearby like restaurants. I've checked the hotels nearby and they go for $40 - $50 per night. I'm sure you can get it for much cheaper if you are staying for a week or month through an airbnb. I would highly recommend living in an area for a couple months before planning to move there permanently just to see if it's something you would like.

I'm not asking for you to watch the whole video but click your way through it just to see the convenience available here. If you are looking to stay long term there are plenty of Westerners here you can hang out with at the bars.

This is on Mactan Island which is where Magellan was killed during a fight with the natives. This area is just a couple hundred meters from the beach.

Thanks Q great vid and info

The question i have is this....

When the words "very safe" gets thrown around for these places you and illini frequent, what kind of safe are we talking about?

"Very safe" as in U.S. Safe....Or "very safe" considering where they are at in the world?

You will not find a safer country than Vietnam or China, It is so safe here. You see nothing but young girls ( foreigners) touring the country by themselves or with a friend. There is not even a security guard at banks here. I tell my friends here that banks in America get robbed, they can't comprehend that. You have to be on your toes in the Philippnes. there are 11 countries in SEA ( China is not SEA ) and it is by far the most dangerous of all of them. You can't really count Myanmar as dangerous because they say it is dangerous because of the words longest lasting civil war, but I assure you Myanmar is peaceful and safe but the civil unrest gives it a ranking as dangerous. Cambodia is dangerous if you are involved in the mafia stuff going on there. But to live a normal life and be happy, great food, friendly people, no crime, hottest girls in the world, best entertainment, a rich history and prideful people, you won't find a better place than Vietnam out of the 11 SEA countries. Hell , there are even places in the Phillipines that the Taliband hid out and there are still places in Mindano that are very dangerous. .... But if you stay in the tourist areas that Quantam is talking about , you are ok , but have to be very aware in that country.

The guys in the video say this particular expat area is safer than most cities in the US. In the video you can see Filipinas walking in groups without having to care about their safety.

They also mention about how pretty the Filipinas are here. I have a theory that the women in and around Cebu are different than the rest of the Philippines because they have such a Spanish mixture from way back when Magellan visited and this makes them so pretty. But of course the Philippines has such a wide variety of people types being such a widely spread out island nation.

Its not in the article but I think they are on the potential ban list because trump got scammed by one of the call centers. They called and told him his computer had a virus and they could fix it for $2,000. He sent the money and they never fixed his computure.
