@Satirical: Well, it's CALLED democracy. Sometimes can be useful anyway. So I'm glad this is being made available by Democrats Abroad, although users should understand what it is, what it represents; and what it can do and what it can't, as is.
Anybody know if candidates from any parties other than the Democrats and the Republicans are likely to be on ballots for voters overseas? And are write-ins possible? I'm not clear about how absentee ballots work - depends on the state, perhaps?.
Thanks, Alex.
Thanks Alex MG, will see what time it leaves the main KM station, as the website is confused: says "from KM Station", then below it says "destination KM station".
AlPage: what ticket are you referring to?
Actually, the train leaves 7:53AM. Anybody know how I can do this with enough time to make the train? The metro starts too late, train boarding stops 5 minutes before departure and the station is big, with security controls etc. Is there a bus? I can't find anything reliable.
No results found.
I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.

Bureaucratic declaration limits Yunnan countryside fun
Posted byAgree with michael: goal is fine, but measures proposed probably unenforceable. Not sure I could propose a better method, but methods that don't work simply makes the problem worse - cultural attitudes don't change according to somebody's policy, and if coercion is necessary, it's got to be effective and not just breed contempt for the enforcer.. .
