Asia Pacific - February 2007

I showed the taxi driver on the map with the name written in Chinese where I wanted to go , and he said : OKOK .

First , he drove extremely slowly , the roads were clear for once because of Chinese New Year. He dropped (wanted to)
about 500 m far of teh destination or trying to make me explain
again to make money, Since the taxidrivers here, like everywhere probably are so unfair and greedy, I "wanted him to teach a lesson and jumped out without paying. First he did not follow me
then he did when I did not expect it anyomore I had gone to
a CD/DVD shop and when I wanted to LEAVE the shop he stood
in my way. He smiled and showed me the bill. I said that he did not
know the place and that I was not going to pay, I was not open
to discuss more than that , the shopkeeper (whom I had heard speaking English) could have helped. I walked off.
The point is I am going to be here for another two months - to be honest I am afraid that this taxi driver will chase me ?

I'm an American and I love this country but I think it's totally bland.
I've heard several people who's lived in Seoul or Tokyo and whenever they come home to U.S., they immediately want to go back saying how unexciting this place is. I think there's some truth to that. They also say people here are rude, lazy, & service is terrible compared to other developed countries.

Do you think sex education in the Philippines would lessen the curiosity of the young to experiment on sex?

How would it help lessen the number of young offenders (teenage rape, etc)

What do you think are the reasons why sex education is hard to handle in Philippine schools?

This will be my third attempt at asking this question, Yahoo in their mighty wisdom have blocked my two other attempts (and deducted me 20 points, hummm)

Try this quiz? (4)
This is such an easy one even I managed 10/10!
If you are Malaysian and score less than 10 shame on you!!

I've been told that 10 days is too much for KL? I surely hope its not...boyfriend and I are planning to visit in early April and should be staying at the Regent Hotel (is it any good? worse come to worse we'd like to swim and sunbathe in the hotel perhaps?), what are the things to do and see? We're more the quiet type - are there any good art museums in town?

Any advice or suggestion will be helpful, thanks!!!

Do all of you think Taiwan is Taiwan, China is China?

I think Taiwan should be independent

Taiwan has a president, has its legislative

Taiwan is different from China

China is artful and no human rights

and why does United Nations not admit Taiwan is independent out of China?

does every country afraid of China?

i think that is unfair to Taiwan
