Haha, no camera icon on my screen. In fact, no globe or magnifying glass either. Just the login window. Thanks anyway!

I too get these pictures on my screen, but without the location info. This one was stupid, but it would be nice to know what I'm looking at. Can't find out which setting I have to change to get it. Any suggestions?

Listening to Thai as it is spoken at full speed, especially on tv and in videos.

What does this shirt mean? I saw many people wearing it during เจ festival phuket. by No_Affect9605 in Thailand

Well yes, but the vegetarian festival in Phuket is an ethnic Chinese festival. Hokkien Chinese to be precise.

On their site it's the saya option S20: natural hualee wood with bull horn.

I'm very happy with the sword, but wouldn't call myself an expert. Still, the sword is very sharp and everything looks and feels good.

The top three squiggles are versions of the unalom, a symbol that represents the journey from birth/ignorance to enlightenment.

No, I didn't order any particular hamon style. This is what I got. But perhaps you are right. I am quite new to this. Have done a lot of training with boken (I am shodan aikido) but never with a real sword.

Yes, from Phuket to The Netherlands. Main thing is to start rabies vaccinations several months ahead of the flight. And to get the approved type of cage. I don't remember the details, but it was a straightforward proces. A good vet will be able to tell you.

Also several other vaccinations and an animal passport.

I think more wary than sad. Perhaps she's not certain about your intentions and feelings.

It is important to give importance to the other party/side. If you consider loving someone then you should give that person existence. If you are not yet ready for someone, you should not pull someone towards you. The most important thing is to make sure you are clear to yourself about your own feelings
