East and west/all is relative

I always thought of Cambodia as to the west (because of VietNam). But to the Thais, it is East. All these notions are relative, the Far East and the Far West are products of eurocentrism. To an Asian, the Far East could be Boston and the Far West Brittany, Morocco, Senegal, or Iceland.

No Xmas gift for the Police?

At a Halloween party last week, things got rowdy and the police was called to limit the noise. One of the organizers of the party got unruly with the police and was arrested. Since he was disguised as Santa Klaus, one can now wonder if the police will be getting anything for Christmas????
