Israel apparently got 2nd for Eurovision. Maybe they should have just won so we can see how many countries will boycott the contest next year.

What kinda irks me with this govt's (and partially its predecessor's) approach to these policies is how much they overemphasize the benefits for tourists and not for...us Thais that actually live here with the consequences longer than any would-be visitors.
Not sure if the Thai government basing economic growth around alcohol, casinos, and Marijuana is a good plan. I think education, innovation and sustainability might work out better in the long term.

imagine paying $200 to watch a 2 hour French New Wave film that could have been collapsed into a 10 min scene of young people running around.

$300 to watch In the Mood for Love, and in the end, they don't even kiss.

If you're at all interested in buying or renovating a home in Singapore, chances are you've come across Stacked Homes.

Stacked Homes: They tried to cut out property agents, but created one of S’pore’s top blogs instead

Every urbanist who praises my home country Singapore's 'social housing' should also be beat over the head with the EIP: there are strict racial quotas (and heterosexual marriage rules) for social housing

My high school history teacher, who specialized in decolonialization, would bristle every time someone said ‘the far east’

‘It’s only far and east of London. It’s right here if you’re here, and pretty near’

it's 'the West' yet we are east of Asia?

what a queen
Oscar winning South Korean actress Youn Yuh-jung reveals her son came out as gay in 2000 and she threw a wedding for him in New York. 🫶

She’s a household name here & this revelation will make headlines in a country still grappling with LGBT rights.

If we follow this logic from Singapore’s Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, then North Korea should be the most politically and diplomatically esteemed state in the world

Thought it was super hilarious when V*nce referred to the “peasants” in China. Like does he think it’s the 70s or what? China has progressed so much, sure it may not be as rich as USA yet but it is definitely a richer country now with a comfortable middle class.
