how to get a US phone number
How can I get a US phone number so I can receive sms phone codes for logging in to banks in the US? Skype sells US phone numbers but I am not sure if they are accepted by banks for sending sms login codes. Any ideas? Thanks

Google Voice
Do any of you use Google Voice here to send and receive calls from the US? Does it cost money when you make or receive a call from the US? I think you need another US phone number to set it up. Guess you could use a friend in America to receive the sms message from Google then send it to you . Thanks

arrive Vietnam on one way ticket
Just want to see if one can arrive in HCMC on a one way plane ticket. Then after a couple of days bus to Phnom P. Do airlines demand a ticket leaving Vietnam, as in the case of Thailand and most other countries? Thanks

easiest country to get medication
I want to get some sleeping pills. In the western world these often require a doctors prescription. Usually I get these sorts of medications in Bangkok. Is that the best place? What about HCMC or Phnom P? Thanks

Re: selling bitcoin
Thanks for the replies. You can't easily use bitcoin to buy an apartment in most western countries. Or buy groceries for that matter. The fact is you need cash to buy things today. The problem is geting it into the western banking system. The thought of avoinding tax does not enter my mind. Most cou...

selling bitcoin
If one had a decent amount of bitcoin and wanted to convert it to cash how could that be done in Asia? A person in that situation might not want to convert in their home country for tax reasons. Meeting someone and exchanging for cash in dangerous and not practical.

getting new Facebook account
Trying to get a new Facebook account. So far impossible. I created a new email and set up a new account. After getting it up and running it was deleted in about three seconds. I appealed this but no results yet. Facebook must have detected cookies or something in my computer. Yet I do not want to de...

Re: Knives
Just a word on knives. I went through the Singapore airport twice with a Karambit knife in my checked bag. Both times it was detected while exiting the secure area. My bag was put through the x ray. Both times they took the knife but returned it after the employee spoke with the supervisor. Flying f...

Re: Chinese asked what is future of Westport/Sihanoukville
Appologize for deviating from the topic. I lived in China for years. The major cities are safe, clean and orderly. Go to any major city in North America now, especially on the west coast. Complete hell holes. Not comfortable downtown without a gun. Spoke to a guy from China about this. In China the ...

Sihanoukville in the Vietnam war
Did Russian ships dock and unload at the port in Sihanoukville or was cargo unloaded offshore? Did Chinese ships use Sihanoukville also? If they docked are these docks still there today? Thanks
