Didn't you British give your sailors beer and grog when fresh water was unavailable?

Worst case scenario, you can treat water with bleach. Add 10 drops of regular clorox bleach per gallon. Wait 30 minutes.

If by not reliable you mean a crappy wifi signal, you could get an antenna or make your own.

You could say that you are extremely anxious about flying. Probably/hopefully he will give you a small amount with no refills.

I have this card http://www9.chasecreditcards.com/continental/opp/?SPID=DFQ5&CELL=6NG3&AFFID=&CLICK=&CID=&PROMO=DF01 Continental and United are merging their ff programs. Right now it's giving 40,000 ff miles. Add the miles you'll make on this trip, and your next will be free. $95 fee is waived for first year. They may waive it after that; if not cancel. I think there is some sort of baggage allowance. You should also check out flyertalk.com - there may be a better deal going.

Here's the commencement speech he gave at Stanford in 2005. Really cool stuff.

I don't know, but thanks for teaching me something new today. And welcome to the board!

"I'm going to award a point against you Mr. McEnroe" And the crowd cheers I wonder how long till golfers start yelling at officials.

REALLY interesting. Thanks a lot!

from thaivisa thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/426487-insurance-for-possessions-inside-condo/ "Important : do check to make sure the Owner has the interior of the condo (everything from A/C's to the kitchen and bathroom) insured as you are responsible for anything that may happen while you are there." ------ "I live in a rented unit in a Thai family owned and occupied building, and the Thai owner doesn't carry their own insurance. So I wanted insurance to cover both my own possessions and to protect myself for liability should anything happen while I'm living there... I consulted with a very good, professional English speaking Thai insurance broker in BKK that I've used happily for the past four years to place my Thai medical insurance....and later other policies such as this one... The result was to obtain a "Smart Home" policy from AXA Insurance, a large and well-reputed company. I pay about $100 a year and get: --5 million baht Thailand personal liability coverage for both bodily injury to others and property damage including from fire. --1 million baht building and home contents coverage, with a 2000 baht deductible for water, wind, earthquake and flood damage. --100,000 baht cover for temporary accommodation --200,000 baht cover for family member loss of life --100,000 baht forcible burglary coverage For whatever reason, the policy stipulates it excludes coverage for small portable electronics such as laptops, digital cameras, mobile phones and watches... Another company that offers similar but less expensive policies is MSIG. Both AXA and MSIG policies, essentially to cover renters, should be available from any good local insurance broker. With the relatively modest cost of such policies, there's no reason in my view that anyone renting in Thailand should go unprotected." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The place burns down or stuff gets stolen; you're liable. Really?!!

Interesting thread at thaivisa http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/426487-insurance-for-possessions-inside-condo/

No expert here, but I always thought debit cards were riskier than credit cards. I'm pretty sure, if you report right away, you're covered with both. But, if you don't report in a "timely" manner you are much more fooked with a debit card.

There are BMs that regularly post in "The Market" Section - might want to PM a few of them. Also plenty of listings in your range at http://www.fairproperties.com/condos_for_rent.htm

I like your style of ballparking an estimate to make your case. But 1% of 750,000 is 7,500 - not that that reverses your argument.

Most of the Russians I've met came off at first as being serious, aloof, and private. But after getting to know them, were just as friendly as anyone else. He just said it, he didn't really mean it. Give him another chance.
