OF THAILAND'S SONGKRAN --
April,
2009
During
Songkran people roam the streets with containers of water or water
guns and powder, or post themselves at the side of roads with a garden
hose and drench each other and passersby. Water from the canals is
often used. The canals are Bangkok's sewers. The powder thrown combined
with the water creates a chalk like film that can cause damage to
your belongings. - CAMBODIA'S KHMER NEW YEAR.

Most
Africans' passports are not valid - either because they are false
- someone else's - or out of date. One NEEDS an embassy or consulate
to issue a passport. Now think of the great success story of Africa.
How do you get a passport? -

ANY
African who "hangs out" in Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam/Indonesia
DOES pop up on the radar of all Police forces. He becomes Subject
of Observation. It is a small number of Black American tourists will
visit S. E. Asia. Most (over 80%) will come in groups and will be
escorted by a guide. These are not Subjects of Observation. It is
the ones who come singly - many summoned by Afs already in Thailand
(etc). These Afs don't come to visit the temples, tourist attractions
or the beaches - they come to make money.

with no apparent job are arriving in droves these past four years
(since 2005) to Thailand and Cambodia. The question is how are they
earning their money? One answer is there are Internet shops that are
owned by Nigerians in Cambodia. They offer many services including
scanning your documents. -

It
took big brass balls for the Amazing Race USA edition to be the first
to visit Cambodia. The producers did a commendable job in filming
the true spirit of Cambodia by showing places and people who are really
what Cambodia is all about… poor who get on with the job of survival.
