Hua Hin Forum

All my life (I'm 49 now) I've had one recurring vice: SMOKING! :guns: I've quit many times; sometimes for years. In Canada I keep myself quite fit: black belt in TaiKwonDo, biking, tennis, gym etc. Recently, before my last trip to Hua Hin, I had quit smoking for four months - no problem. BUT, when I...

Canada - a 1'st world country? Well, alrighty then! The secrets out! Labatts for everybody, eh!

Yikes! Interesting times! Let's hope this all continues to be bloodless. I also hope this does not disrupt my December travel plans to Hua Hin! I'll be some pissed!

This is a very interesting thread. It seems that Western culture is hesitant to discuss death and the grieving process. I have yet to experience that "deep rooted, soul-cutting grief" that comes with the loss of a close relative: mother, father, sister, brother. But my parents (who are lik...
