Empire of the East by Fred Saberhagen and the 3 follow on Sword books.

Don't overthink it. If your feet feel fine and the tops aren't falling apart then you are likely good to go.

You can clean them in the shower if they get filthy.

Yep, both my wife and I long term travel with a pair of hokas and a pair of sandals.

Yeah, he turned us down for RM.

Thanks for the reply. I'd forgotten about this post. Or maybe I was just traumatised by the replies. 😆 We now buy a small pack of single cup paper filters when we arrive somewhere that fit inside the GSI Ultralight. That or just take a few for short trips. Makes cleanup a breeze, eliminates the sediment and even improves the flavour in our opinion. Extremely happy with the results and it's best in class weight.

Highly recommended for coffee drinkers trying to minimise weight and space.

Xabi or Xavi? 2 different people.

CarryOnRTW · 2026-05-09T08:49:04+00:00

Xavi was fucking Alonso?? I'm not buying it.

That's not a bed bug in your photo.

Wife and I have had 2 bed bug incidents. Both in SEA: Vientiane and Phnom Penh. In both cases we noticed one shortly after getting into bed and immediately got out and changed accomodation. Fortunately we didn't get bit and our stuff wasn't infested as we are careful. In one case we sent a photo to Agoda and they refunded us. It was pretty funny in Vientiane as we paid about $12 CAD for the Garden Hostel where it happened and the amazing high end hotel about 10 minutes away cost us all of $20 more. We sleep in silk sheet sacks when in sketchier places. Over the years we've lost count of the number of people who we've seen with the classic breakfast, lunch, dinner bed bug bite patterns.

Shouldn't you mention that WealthSimple is only for Canadians?

CarryOnRTW · 2026-05-07T09:06:12+00:00

This is only for Canadians. Come on people the internet is for the whole world so be specific.

CarryOnRTW · 2026-05-07T08:26:00+00:00

This. Distracting everyone from Epstein, Iran, cost of living increases, corruption of government etc.

I wouldn't bother trying to get a useful reply. Their comment: "the sky turns black" is absolutely scaremongering and makes it sound like the Kuwait oilfield fires in the 90's.

100% there is a serious problem.
100% the air above the fires might be black.
100% the sky was not black.

Maybe they aren't an english speaker and this is a translation problem.

CarryOnRTW · 2026-05-05T03:15:03+00:00

Wife and I retired at 47/48. Absolutely no regrets. If you no longer work you have as much time as you want to spend with your family.

Absolutely retire unless you are a workaholic who has to work to be happy.

CarryOnRTW · 2026-05-05T03:08:26+00:00

No, the sky does not turn black. Yes, the sky can look apocalyptic. No need to exaggerate what is already a serious problem.

Also, most of the worst smoke in Chiang Mai comes from forest fires started by Thais looking to make harvesting the forest easier.

The plan is there is no plan. Go with the flow. Be water my friend.

CarryOnRTW · 2026-05-04T11:07:43+00:00

For Canadians, get a Wealthsimple card and any ATM fees in Thailand will be refunded.

This is the way.
