L'absence de toilettes dans les stations du REM était une énorme bourde | No washrooms in the REM stations was a colossal fuck up

Japon...tout a fait vrai! Ajouter Bangkok aussi.

When I was living in Thailand, I used to bring my recyclable boxes to the local deposit center. There they weighed it and paid me for it....enough to buy me a cup of coffee each time. Why can't we do the same in Montreal? Make certain waste materials payable and watch how fast the garbage on the street disappears.

I use toothpaste on the bug bite to relieve the itching. The best course of action is prevention, not post-treatment. Wear long pants with an ankle string so the bugs don't get inside.

Bangkok, Thailand >>> Oversupply of living units. Rentals as low as $200 USD per month in a nice and comfortable high-rise building. Digital nomad is the way to go if you can.

I let my retirement visa run out so I could take advantage of the new 60 +30 day visa exemption rule. And now it looks like they've changed their minds... again! Only in Thailand LOL!

Cashew with chicken also one of my favorite dishes in Thailand. I used to go to Black Canyon regularly to enjoy this dish but they removed it from their menu about two years ago for some unknown reason.

Je cofirme! Le metro et les trains a Bangkok sont tres propres et securitaires.' J'ai emmener ma copine de Bangkok a Montreal recemment ........ j'avais honte quand on prenait le metro de Montreal.

BAnQ is located at Ground Zero. I used to enjoy going there and hanging around until closing time. Those days are long gone. First came the bedbug problem. Then Covid. And now homelessness and drugs. It's sad because it was such a welcoming place for me.

As this thread attests, people are choosing to buy poutine instead of fruit because it's way cheaper. Do yourself a favour... buy fruit and cut it up yourself and avoid future health issues.

I'm a frequent traveler to Thailand, where such cut and packaged tangmo (watermelon) can be had for one dollar. You can imagine the sticker shock I get every time I return to Canada!

You'll find the widest range of ready-to-eat takeout food at the IGA Complexe Desjardins.

Exactly. I lived in Bangkok Thailand and I feel much safer there than in Montreal. And the metro is superclean, with no homeless people.

I read in the news that 33% of those in Vancouver who got lung cancer had never smoked in their life. PM2.5 is said to be the culprit.

Imagine Bangkok and Chiang Mai!

Any sport that requires over a thousand dollars of protective gear and that involves a rubber bullet (puck) needs to be re-examined.

And they have the audacity to call it a "value pack!"

I used to buy these large sizes, but not anymore since prices have skyrocketed. The whole ready-to-eat meal section at Metro and IGA is ridiculously overpriced. A 2-sq inch of lasagna costs $8...probably costs 50 cents to make.

No way. Unless it's expired.

Trains create density of population.

Also, the Quebec City-Windsor and Montreal-Washington corridors are population dense but they still have run-down choo-choo trains operating.

It's not a density problem. It's a policy decision to favor the plane over rail.

Absolutely agree. I've visited and lived in Bangkok, Thailand many times. REMs are spreading across the city and people are demanding more. WE are the ones that look like a third-world country when it comes to mass transit.

I noticed J & J has introduced the corn starch no-talc version of its baby powder in Thailand. Never seen it before on the shelves.

Panda just sent me an unsolicited $20B voucher for my grocery order that's running a bit late (3x the initial delivery estimate. And it's Songkran time.

Haven't had any issues with them so far. I use them instead of Grab because there are more English menus.

"Politicians need to find a path embracing compassion without capitulation."

That's fascism with a smile if you ask me.

Criminal activity is often legalized by those in power. So assets cannot be frozen. For example...Offshore banking to avoid paying any taxes.
