What Became of the Hard Working Foreigners with few Savings?
I arrived in Asia just after the Asian financial crisis, and met a whole load of guys who no longer had that well paid job, but still tried to live the lifestyle. Plus those who thought they had a job, until they suddenly didn't get paid, and the owner was "away" (Coming to some expats near you, very soon....)
It took months, and the refusal of friends to lend them money, and the gf leaving him as he couldn't support her shopping habit, before they accepted that it was over and time to move on. I lost count the number of times an irate landlord turned up at a western bar looking for an expat who owed him lots of rent money, only to discover he was gone.

He might be one of the dear leader's pot smoking friends though.

You should invite him to join you and the other members of the Village People.
I'll try with your direction if you put back the measured counter to your post you deleted, sister.
I saw it too, but he's barking up the wrong tree doing that on street 172. He could try it down by the Riverside, in front of some of the cops hanging around there, with better luck, imo.
I’ve moved a discussion about guest posts and related bickering to the thread about guest posts.

Well the homeless foreigners are multiplying.
Saw three along the river yesterday, one of whom looked like he used to have his shit together.

Homeless expats are definitely on the rise. I wonder how many more are just surviving, under a veneer of respectability?

If they are truly homeless expats and not fucked up junkies, do em a favour and tell them to wander from temple to temple where they can sleep for a night , maybe longer, and more often than not they will receive a hot meal in the evening. Men only though, the women will need to find a temple with a female monastery and there are at least two within 50k of PP.

I'm making more money for much less work these days.
Send $5 to find out how.

He'll have to try harder. That's as original as Capt.

I've heard it's nigh on impossible to get picked up by the boys at immigration at the moment. The cost of feeding people and lack of / cost of flights home makes it all rather an inconvenience.

I thought monks only ate before midday, and were forbidden to eat in the evening...horace wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:34 pmIf they are truly homeless expats and not fucked up junkies, do em a favour and tell them to wander from temple to temple where they can sleep for a night , maybe longer, and more often than not they will receive a hot meal in the evening.

Where is the hot evening meal coming from. Seems a bit unfair to the monks if those there for free lodgings are filling their faces in the evenings!
