alexwander He became corrupt by holding the power for too long. No respect on rule of democracy. Wish him lose power soon.

alexwander US, Canada and some Caribbean countries all use 1 and area code. Other countries are 011 + country code. For example, dialing to England is 011 + 44 + (local number). Dialing to Canada is similar to dialing a long distance (1+ area code) to other U.S....

American president

ak2008 @ak2008 (63) • India 7 Jun 08

Does an ordinary american not like a WOMAN to become the president?

alexwander I agree. The people (Democrat or Republican) who won't vote for Hillary do so because of political issues or her personality, not the gender. Personally, I think she's very smart (regardless of political viewpoint) but lacks sincereness.

alexwander @alexwander (170) • Canada 3 Jun 08

Question: Vice Pres Richard Cheney made a joke like this: He found out both his father's and mother's sides had a Cheney. Then he said they didn't even live in West Virginia. That comment drew criticism and later he apologized. He...

alexwander Thanks for the explanation. It is really such a bad taste comment. All states are parts of America. After office he may be another McLellan, not only making jokes on Bush, but to shift all the blames.

Eating Dogs

mimico @mimico (3617) • Philippines 31 May 08

I just watched a special feature in Discovery channel where dogs are EATEN in China! I'm a doggie-lover so I don't understand how anyone could ever eat such cute furry animals. Pigs, cows, and chickens aren't cute at all so I...

alexwander I agreed. Dogs and cats are considered more intelligent because they are pets and closer to human beings. Pigs and cows are equally intelligent but they are not pets so people don't consider them as men's best friends. I grew up near a slaughter house. It is...

alexwander To the best of my knowledge, Sa Sa is a big chain having shares trading in the HK stock market. They shouldn't do stupid things like selling fake good as some small vendors do. Selling fake goods they will be persecuted by the government. The price of the...

alexwander (continued after some interruption). Octopus Card is convenient but may charge $50 per card. You can't use one card for 5 people. So daily pass is best for five people for 3 days. I think. Also, ask if the hotel provides free shuttle. They may provide...

alexwander Thanks for the rating. Now I understand more of your situation. Here are some thoughts. 1) Taking a taxi from Airport to hotel costs over $200. A group of five means two taxis (plus all luggages). 2) Bus is cheaper than Airport Express Rail ($100 -...
