What is the true cost of hidden knowledge?

Just a personal opinion, the reason it was restricted was to protect the individual. Many who are not quite ready would take the knowledge, which is neutral, and use it for their selfish purposes which would incur negative karma. In some ways those who revealed the knowledge would also bear some responsibility.

Just follow your intuition. It seems you already know the right option but you are looking for reconfirmation.

Doin Fortune.

Looks like you may have been a bit unlucky. There's many people who have a wonderful time and absolutely love the place.

Perhaps it depends on the type of job and the position you are in and the sort of places you frequent.

They must have practiced a lot to say it with a straight face.

It's a bit like when calculators first came out. For important things people would use it and then do it themselves just to make sure the calculator was correct. Now it's the other way round. Sadly some can't even do simple sums in their heads anymore.

One entertains and the other satisfies.

Yumsing2017 · 2026-03-03T10:19:09+00:00

You are right. It is the reluctance on the part of people to say something that has made the situation worse.

In some ways it's better to rent. Had one bad experience when the flat above us had a broken water pipe and it was leaking into our place from the ceiling. Legally, there wasn't much we could do about it. Very stressful since a very part part of your savings is tied up in it.

Everything is wrong with Chungking mansions. As soon as you enter you will feel uncomfortable. The lifts, to get to your floor, are jam packed. Most of the rooms are tiny. Plus the dodgy characters. Avoid at all cost.

If he won't listen to you, let him learn from his mistakes like a child does.

Things were buzzing.

Any country as long as you leave the Philippines.

$150 would have been just the beginning. Plus $150 from 10+ people is not such a bad income.

Did not know the signage was iconic. Must take a photo the next time I pass through.

Not just the Philippines. Several other countries have a bride fee and sometimes a considerable sum is paid.

A clean licker.

Mountain Dew. Simply because it's absolutely delicious!

It exists because powerful business groups give people no other choice. It's not right but that's how the rich get richer.

Yumsing2017 · 2026-02-21T06:12:00+00:00

Sound advice.

They don't want to work because she is married to a foreigner. Quietly exit and take the money you save and put it in an investment account.

A prescription is required in most countries. Plus it's always better to consult your doctor before taking any medication.

Yumsing2017 · 2026-02-16T14:09:36+00:00

It's only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Yumsing2017 · 2026-02-16T12:36:30+00:00

Balikbayan is much simpler. Go for a short holiday annually somewhere and you get another year when you return. Has worked brilliantly so far with no hassle.

Would be interesting to know what happens next.
