You can get official/legal DVDs herein China, they run at about 30-70 rmb per disc. They contain the film, often subtitles, but rarely any of the extra features. I used to buy them in Shanghai.

I think the woman who got fined big was because she tried to fight the case. I think there was an option to pay about 6000 dollars fine, but she decided to fight on the grounds that no money was earned.

Again, I think she was done for file sharing (uploading).

I saw a recent list that also had Chang Mai, low cost of living, good culture and good healthcare.
I had a heart problem here last year, and got an angioplasty OK in one artery. They could not open the other artery, the Chinese Dr. said I needed a bypass and should have that done back home. Which I did.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
