In Praise of Waifish Brunettes

I have this penchant for the gamine look, cheeky face and seriously short hair cut with fringe, perky nose and high up boobs. [/I]
A man after my own heart! I really love that look.
I realize lots of guys love their tits and ass, but to my eye the tight little spinner is just gorgeous.

Sadly so true, as rising living standards, sedentary life styles spent hunched over a smartphone and the hegemony of American fast food combine to pack pounds onto the frames of so very many girls in Thailand.

US State Department statement about the protests
The US State Department is not advising US citizens to change travel plans. Here is the latest statement they sent to people enrolled in the traveler program.
[I]December 1, 2013.
Domestic political activists in Thailand are holding large demonstrations at several sites throughout Bangkok. These demonstrations may continue in the coming days, including at several Thai government facilities in areas within and outside of Central Bangkok.
Violence, including gunshots, was reported on the night of November 30 / morning of December 1st in the area of Ramkhamhaeng University in the Bang Kapi district northeast of Central Bangkok. At least two persons have been reported killed and several dozen have been reported injured. Police have used tear gas and other measures to protect government facilities at several locations in Bangkok.
Although the Thai government has not implemented a curfew, senior officials have recommended that residents remain at home from 10:00 pm Dec 1 through 5:00 am Dec 2.
The USA Embassy in Bangkok will be open on Monday as usual. Please check the Embassy's web page and Twitter feed for updates.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. You should avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations. Be alert and aware of your surroundings and pay attention to local news media reports. [/I]
They have cried Wolf too many times.

Whoops! I did not stay home after 10PM. Big deal! Not sure what was so special about last night. Plenty of tourists out and about. Some in groups. Not sure why you publish these foreign political warnings, either. Can just put a link to them. Better to publish your own opinions, in my opinion. Have you decided to stay home now?
We have had senseless stay away warnings for so many years, the danger will be that any warning will be ignored when a situation does get really dangerous. When civil war breaks out, that will be something.
The only useful advice is to take a wide berth of demonstrations and mobs. Its nothing to do with tourists. I was amazed to see a foreigner filming a demonstration while riding his motor-bike. Risking an accident.
