[QUOTE=Tommylove;2548231]Has anyone heard of any girls offering "quarantine companionship" services? This would require them to take PCR tests with you at the start, and stay with you for the entire quarantine period? It would be like the golf quarantine offering, except for pussy.[/QUOTE]I don't think that's possible. I wanted to quarantine with a girl I really like and they allowed only married couples or couple that can prove they are together for quite some time.
[QUOTE=Tomasb;2548783]Since you appear to think some of it was widely exaggerated, I would like to know which parts since you did not elaborate. Not trying to pick an argument just interested in other discrepancies.[/QUOTE]The show sure beats watching Married at First Site or re-runs of Tuk Tuk Patrol. Hahaha. This is not a criticism of the show, but I'm just a stickler for detail, so here goes:
1. Charles, Monique and Ajay went to Malaysia on a gem buying expedition. Charles took Ajay into the jungle. Only Charles returned, so it is believed that Ajay was murdered in Malaysia by Charles as he had no further use for him. Ajay's body has never been recovered. In the show, Charles drives Ajay to some desert area in Pakistan and leaves him there, which is not correct.
2. We see Charles making an international phone call to his mom in Paris from a public phone box in a slum area in Karachi. That was not possible. Pakistan in the 1970's was a dirt poor country with shit infrastructure. International calls were rare, very expensive and had to be booked through an operator. To make an international call in Pakistan / India / Bangladesh back then, you had to go to the Post and Telegraphic Office, fill out a form, get it approved by a clerk, and then get it connected by an operator. You then paid for the call using cash at the cashier station. Similarly, Charles gets his mom to call back at the same streetside phone box at the slum town. That was just not possible.
3. We see Charles and Monique leaving Pakistan and driving all the way to Paris in a brand new, right hand drive, Citroen CX2400 Pallas, which was the top French luxury car at the time. Even in my country, that car was quite expensive. The model was only released in France in 1974 and are we to believe that there was a Citroen dealer in Karachi offering a RHD version of the top model in 1976? Not possible. The model in the show looks like one from the early 1980's. Maybe if he drove across in a Peugeot 404 it might have been more believable.
4. Many of the passports in the 1970's were hard cover, yet we see all of the passports in the show are the soft fabric covers we have now.
5. A lot of the rank insignia used by the Thai / Indian / Nepalese / Pakistani police and immigration officials are inconsistent and wrong. Some of it has just been made up by the costume designer with no reference to reality.

Met a girl last night who was 100% racially Vietnamese (not Lucky). A good conversationalist, although possibly somewhat full of crap, said she liked to dive and travel. Decent long duration blowjob and CIM, and very fair / pale skin of the Vietnamese variety. Easy going and witty. PM for link / digits.
The coronavirus variant discovered in South Africa can "break through" Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine to some extent, a real-world data study in Israel found, though its prevalence in the country is low and the research has not been peer reviewed.
The study, released on Saturday, compared almost 400 people who had tested positive for Covid-19,14 days or more after they received one or two doses of the vaccine, against the same number of unvaccinated patients with the disease. It matched age and gender, among other characteristics.
The South African variant, be. 1.351, was found to make up about 1 per cent of all the Covid-19 cases across all the people studied, according to the study by Tel Aviv University and Israel's largest healthcare provider, Clalit.
The vaccine appeared to be less effective against the South African variant, researchers noted. Crucially, however, it the variant does not spread effectively, they say.
It is believed that this reduced effectiveness may also only occur in a short window of time. Results from the study showed that there were no reported cases of be. 1. 351 in fully vaccinated individuals who had received their second dose more then 14-days prior.

Your inbox is full, I couldn't send a PM. Can you please clear it?
I have not made it past Episode 3 so did not know yet about the auto excursion from Pakistan to Paris in a Peugeot. In addition to your observation of the difficulty in securing that type of vehicle in Pakistáand then, it seems highly unlikely someone could safely drive a vehicle from Pakistan to the west. Imagine the type of dangers and poor infrastructure they would encounter on a long trip like that. In fact, even today, that type of journey does not seem possible.
And as you note, making an international phone call from a public phone booth in Pakistan to Paris during this time frame seems highly suspect.

[QUOTE=CockaSaurus;2549900]I've seen the ping pong and razor blade shows in Suzy Wong on Soi Cowboy and it is a pretty legit bar. Not sure how often they do the shows though. Drinks were more expensive than other bars if that matters to you.[/QUOTE]Thanks for that. I'll check it out when I get there. I don't mind the drinks being more expensive if it's worth it. If it's really bad I'll just drink slower I just don't want the feeling I was ripped off (e. G. By the pingpong touts).

Also note that you wouldn't need to pass through any "full" communist countries, Yugoslavia stretched between Austria and Greece and was a bit of an in-betweener in some ways back then and western tourists often used to go there.
I haven't seen the show yet but if it's about some kind of criminal then there might also be crime-related reasons for bringing a vehicle overland.
They casually drove from Paris to Pakistan in the blink of an eye and checked in at a seedy guest house in the rain.

They do it occasionally during the night but its not what you think it is, its fairly dumb, then some guy goes on stage and paints the girls, which is also, completely stupid. Total waste of time and energy, even for the nostalgia of it. Its that stupid.
Suzie Wong also used to do occasional "lesbian shows" during the night as well, but after a long run, they've been gone for a few years. They were OK if you had a really good view, and much less enticing if you didn't. More or less, a dead eyed stripper going through the motions of being forced to lick some other dead eyed stripper, on stage, for a few minutes and for no money before they walked off stage completely uninterested in what just happened.

Mutant South African Covid-19 variant can 'break through' the Pfizer jab, study finds.
Scientists studied 400 people who tested positive at least 14 days after jab.
The variant was eight times more prevalent in those who had two jabs than none.
It was seen in 5.4% of people with 2 doses. But 0.7% of people without any.
Researchers said results suggest the South African variant cannot be combated by the vaccine as well as others.

Do a websearch for "hippie trail" and you'll find lots of info. There were regular busses, etc. That went back and forth for several years. Don't forget this was 40+ years ago, long before any political or religious extremism took hold in many of the areas along the route which westerners now wouldn't ever dream of travelling even with a phalanx of armoured vehicles.
Overall definitely some silly things in the show, but I thought it was quite well done and entertaining. Worth a watch IMO.
