    Based on one trip to Jakarta and dozens to Bangkok, I used to think Bankok traffic was terrible. Compared to Jakarta it's like an open highway.

      Dude, with all your travelling, don't you find your GFY compatriots a bit ignorant, narrow minded and unduly fearful about the rest of the world and especially the muslim world?

      Speaking of Indonesia, there's a nice photo of east java (Cemoro Lawang) on Bing.com right now so I use this excuse to post a different one here. Don't know how long it will last but here it is:

        Beautiful picture. Hey, everyone has their own path and sees things their way. I try not to judge others and how they think - that's on them. I can tell you, the more you travel, the more you see that there isn't one system that works - different things work for different people/cultures.

        That said, my business is doing really, really well here. Exceeded all expectations and 2016 looks like it's going to be even better. But I have personally received (via social media) three death threats in two years. All mentioned their hatred of Americans. The last one was three weeks ago - the guy wasn't too bright, left the message on Whatsapp with a phone number. We do a lot of business with the US Embassy and I printed a screenshot out for a cyber crimes specialist there. Coming back from Indonesia, the Malaysian Immigration officer gave me the third degree - wasn't going to let me in. This was two days after the Trump-Muslim statement.

        So it works both ways. They're knuckleheads on both sides of every issue. I don't let it bother me - if someone doesn't like me or doesn't think like me, that's their right.

        Meanwhile I'll just keep on keeping on.

          Elaborate. You are denied and back in Indonesia now?
          And the reason for your denial was Trump' speech?

            Although those muslims from Malaysia or Indonesia ar much more easy going than arab/middle east muslims. So if you lived there you probably would have received 6 or 9 threats instead of 3

              Yeah, you're right. Jakarta is a pretty messy traffic situation.

              Bangkok is really bad in parts, example Ratchada Pisek in peak hour, or Sukhumvit road.

              But given the population it's not too bad, traffic moves slowly in peak hour in any large city. Melbourne comes to a crawl with traffic snarls during peak hour.

              Jakarta, Moscow and Manilla can be much worse than Bangkok however I reckon Jakarta is the worst I've experienced, followed closely by Mumbai.

                No, not denied - I'm in Malaysia. Americans can visit Malaysia for up to 3 months without a visa, then must leave. Technically, you can leave for one day then return. Some call that a "visa run". They call it a "U-turn". If you are a hot Uzbekestan girl, they may detain you "guessing" that you're really working as a prostitute in KL.

                As I'm not a hot Uzbekestan girl, I usually have no problem re-entering the country.

                This time it was different. Trump's suggestion of temporarily putting a hold on Muslims entering the U.S. got big play over here. Guess what? Most Muslins didn't like it. So that may or may have not been a factor in the immigration officer's decision to fuck with me for 15 minutes, both of us knowing in the end, I was getting in. And I did.

                Make no mistake. The biggest douchebag immigration officers I've ever encountered were at JFK in NYC. And that's their behavior to me - as an American citizen. It's usually a breeze at KLIA in Malaysia - you don't even have to fill out any paper forms and they usually great me nicely. Not this time. Maybe it was just a one-off.

                And no - I don't blame Donald Trump.

                  It is no surprising at all because most enter the US to take advantage of their better lifestyle and it is not so much with Malaysia.

                        When was the last time you went to Malaysia?
