Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[McAdonis]

This is hilarious. It's not even close that Japan is leaps and bounds above Italy in culinary arts. Want simple good food, sure Italy is great. For true culinary art, it's Japan 100 x.

Tongue-in-cheek-article by British author who lives in Italy and is not a fan Italian food:

"A few months ago, Nigerian migrants housed at a government hostel in Milan suddenly refused to eat any more of the free food on offer. Italian food is monotonous and indigestable, they explained. Then they went berserk."

In general, Italians don't have an appreciation for non-Italian food. Older Italians are set in their ways. Italians under age of 25 haven't discovered anything beyond McDonalds yet. Italians between ages of 25-35 are slightly more open-minded perhaps due to instagram and "foodie" culture. But overall, there is not a lot of ethnic food in Italy, besides cheap all you can eat Chinese buffet. Most Italians don't realize that the Chinese customers either order from a completely different menu or they go to different Chinese restaurants where the clientele is 80 percent Chinese. In other words, the average Italians' appreciation of Chinese food, would be the equivalent of one of us judging Romanian beauty based off of a one time visit to an AO club that only had six WGs in their daily LU.

\NYC's death rate sit at roughly 50-60% the rate of the 13+% death rate countries like UK, Italy, and France. NYC is more dense than any city or country in Europe and their death rate is the highest in the Us.

Here are the death rates for Germany and Korea: 65 deaths per million, 5 deaths per million.

Korea's health care system is world class, but are you going to tell me it is 13 times better than that of Germany? Of course not, Korea's numbers are low because their government was more prepared and did not underestimate the threat.

The US has a total of less than 1000 deaths in the last 5 days. We have a total of less than 50000 deaths nationwide for the entire pandemic. In a nation of 330,000,000 people. Yes, a lot of us are finished watching politicians grab for power using the pandemic as an excuse, and we are hitting the streets to protest.

I love Japan, been there more than 50 times in the last 20 years, longing to be allowed in back, f. 100's of women there. But like all places, like Paris it has its dark sides. Such as open xenophobia: How often did I get the cross arms sign when trying to enter a public place (and not always sex related shops)?

Salaam Dreams,

If you encounter xenophobia in Paris or Tokyo, just whip out your Qur'an and start chanting. Works wonders for me. If God is on my side, who will be against me?

The modern equivalent would be to cough your way through the door.

Never been to Paris, mainly due to no FKKs. But also because around here it has the reputation of being a bit gay, with men using too much styling of clothes and hair, and acting like desperate once they see a northern girl. So it comes off as trying to impress people in a bit fake manner.

But lately some people also claim that is not the situation any longer too. But with corona, Who knows? We can't even travel anywhere.

I will keep on preferring Italy, Spain, Lebanon, than Asian foods.

Paris is image thing, it has some nice architecture, but if you actually go there, it is just partly beautiful, in most part it stinks, not clean and full of tourists, not safe. And french people are not so kind hearted especially in Paris.

Till end of this year? Well if so, UK economy will be destroyed even more than it was before and be ready for China to buy UK for cheap price.

China began to buy up Brent oil that is so low due to covid 19 crisis and failure of OPEC plus, namely Saudi and Russian government.

Was virus a strategy to spread power?

Well, at least BoJo is going in the right direction if reacting late. Being on a death bed does wonders to attain Nirvana and enlightenment. In here, our bozo president has been in a rush to reopen. First, he threatened Churches will be full by Easter at a time when even Mr. Poly is following social distancing, LOL. Now, his sidekick in Georgia is reopening by this weekend. The Georgia governor is saying people in his state should follow appropriate social distancing while he is opening salons, tattoo parlors etc. Apparently, barbers and tattoo artists in the state of Georgia have hands longer than 6 feet.

For the last 3 to 4 weeks IHME has been forecasting UK will have the worst death tolls in Europe by the end of summer. At first, it didn't make sense, as at that time, Italy looked awful and yet IHME was saying UK death toll will be almost twice as much as Italy toll. Now, it seems UK indeed did screw up, but then again, we are numero uno in global death tolls. Our latest attempt to make our country great again.

The Biggest failure for USA is the number of newly unemployed, truly horrifying. Trump have to open up the country. Stop destroying the world economy and the lives of millions.

These draconian measures have done more harm than good, let's get smart about it.

Hello from the UK! What is going on? We are at the peak. For two weeks we've had 700+ deaths per day (save one day below 500). You are right. We reacted too late, but the big difference between us and say Germany is the awful testing rates.

Announced today in UK. Social distancing measures until end of 2020. So I think the large number of UK guys going to FKKs from the UK (me included) are unlikely to be visiting at all in 2020 whenever they finally reopen. I suspect some will close for good due to the financial bite but hope the big clubs, Sharks, Oase, Artemis, Mainhattan and Palace survive for 2021!

I'm sure social distancing measures will be the norm for many other countries too. That being said, I'm guessing that society will not be shut down in the UK for the rest of 2020. Perhaps capacity limits will be in place and adorning protective gear may be an option. No way British pubs remain completely closed throughout the year right? Right!

Mr Ho,

I often, but not always, agree with your views.

But I think you should look at your own people occasionally before making harsh comments on others.

I love Japan, been there more than 50 times in the last 20 years, longing to be allowed in back, f. 100's of women there. But like all places, like Paris it has its dark sides. Such as open xenophobia: How often did I get the cross arms sign when trying to enter a public place (and not always sex related shops)? And, although this is less the case since a few years, how often did people getting in to the subway tried sitting as far from me as they could? And especially in more remote parts of the country (I have driven all over Japan.), if you don't at least speak a few words, a foreigner just can't get to a traditional restaurant or ryoken. "Japanese Only " sign is just something which would be illegal in most other democracies.

I have made the effort to learn basic Japanese which has changed a lot the way the locals treat me. I don't think many Japanese visiting France have made the same effort, and still they will be accepted in any business.

Cheers!

In 3 or 4 last days, + 10000 in US, but they are enjoying Florida beaches, they go to religious meetings, God will protect them to catch, when spreading in France started after a religious meeting close to Germany and Switzerland and people returning at home with virus. They also ask to stop confined. Like for free weapons, just danger.

Japan need to make image, when many of our best cookers stop with Michelin, they don't need because they are famous all over the world. For me no comparison between Italy and Japan, you fall in love when you are in Italy.

Also hope FKK Atmos and FKK Babylon Hamburg make it. I too look to return in 2021, but won't if we still have to do things like quarantine for 2 weeks upon arrival. In the meantime, no more pacing around and around and around the club for you Sir PayForIt LOLOLOL! Not until 2021, we hope!
