My recent jaunt to Malaysia for a short break gave me an insight into the tourist group thing, my conclusion being all tour groups are a messy, rude, loud pain in the arse, not just Chinese tour groups.
I had the misfortune to cross paths with one Chinese and two Indian lots, both fitting the聽 traits mentioned above.
Most of the westerners were in singles or pairs so they didn't prove to be a nuisance, but I recall pensioner tour groups in Scarborough behaving in pretty much the same way, just with a strong smell of urine in their adult diapers.

Strong smell of urine in their adult diapers?????? Sounds like you were in pattaya?

Ah, the lingering waft of stale piss, how sweet it is.

There鈥檚 a place up north here I鈥檝e always liked., great scenery , not crowded and a great vibe to it.聽 聽BUT....I鈥檝e seen the master plan & its Environmental Vandalism at its best.

It鈥檚 going to eventually be like Orlando Disney World meets Macau Casino world.聽 聽They鈥檝e made videos and聽 presentations of what it鈥檚 going to be like.聽 聽

Once that beautiful geographical region is trashed it will never be the same.聽

The Yanks put Disney World in the middle of the Florida swamps.聽 聽They put Las Vegas in the middle of a desert.聽 聽 聽They didn鈥檛 put it in the middle of Yellowstone National Park or on the edge of the Grand Canyon.

But these clowns take the best scenic coastal areas and build outdated ,poor quality high rise ghettos.......crazy.

But then again,,what do you expect.聽 聽 They鈥檝e only been back鈥� behind the wheel 鈥� for about 40 years ...haven鈥檛 they.聽 聽Foreign aid , FDI et. has pumped it up , but with Industry 4 looming , that will taper off.
Plus....they have a shitload of debt.聽 聽

It won鈥檛 be long and they鈥檒l need some wealthy friends....馃槅馃槅 & we know who that鈥檒l be ......and the money will come with strings attached.

Malaysia backed away from some Chinese鈥� investors because of the 鈥渄ebt trap 鈥� problem.聽 But after Najib pissed off with $2 BILLION they might have to reconsider.馃槅

Malaysia was on my radar for a while ,聽 .Langkawi is a nice spot .聽 聽

But Khanh Hoa Province has the best weather in SE Asia....and apparantly Nha Trang鈥檚 humidity is low compared to other places .聽 That鈥檚 the main 鈥渃arrot鈥� for Yogi.聽 聽 I don鈥檛 like shitty weather.

It鈥檚 just improvising & adapting to the changes here.聽 聽Even my local market has been scuppered for a tourist bus parking area.聽 聽All the beachfront street food & coffee vendors have been 鈥渞un off鈥�.聽 聽

If you want a cuppa with an ocean view ,,it鈥檚 Inside with AC and nice furniture & a 150 kids drinking milk tea playing Hello kitty on the phones.聽 聽 It鈥檚 not much different to the Gold Coast back home now.聽

But it鈥檚 a good life ..聽 I live in a building聽 where it 98% locals.聽 聽I鈥檝e just found out the old VN bloke I鈥檝e been 鈥渢alking鈥� to for 6 months is a mute.聽 聽He just nods.聽 聽I thought he understood English 馃槅

Apparantly his wife died 15 years ago & he hasn鈥檛 spoken since..

Ah well...that鈥檒l save Yogis vocal chords for another day.

Grrrrrr! BTW, has anyone seen the bear lately?..hasn't posted for 7 months. Above was his last post.

Could be lurking. Ready to pounce.

Maybe the bush fires got him....I can't bear the thought.聽
