What Kills Us This Week!

I've been away so I'm not up on The Vibe for this week, however the papers are reporting much anger that HK people are in Thailand for these holidays despite the Travel Warnings. Everyone's saying "We said not to go!" and "It's all your own fault if you get in trouble!" but, because this is HK and we're endlessly nice, Legco's still saying that they'll send planes for our citizens if the violence escalates and they can't get regular flights to come home.

However the real Threatdown is a long way from here: Fiji! Fiji! Fiji! Isa! Isa! Isa!

Actually, have you noticed that trouble in Fiji always occurs simultaneously with trouble in Thailand? Check it out! It's almost becoming a joke how they're aways there, the two matching stories, side-by-side, in newspapers, and, seriously, the stories are usually so similiar. And I must say, the very best coverage I read of this last Fiji coup was in the Bangkok newspapers. We were in Thailand at the time and it was hard getting news of what was happening around us, however, wow!, there wasn't a problem finding out what was happening in Fiji. It was like, because they were being censored reporting their own coup, they were doing Fiji's instead ... and it was so thorough and indepth, I kept the article.

So that's this week's choice for:

THREATDOWN

The CIA running
Dirty Tricks for Thailand and Fiji
out of the same office ...
and they do duplicates of everything to save money!
