I just saw a piece on CNN about how Israel is treating a child from the Gaza Strip that was the victim of an airstrike. He would have died had they not let them cross the border. In the room next to him there is an Israeli child who lost most of his fingers and his mother in an indiscriminate rocket attack on Israel.

The first attack was aimed at civilians, and succeeded in killing and maiming them. The second was aimed at stopping these types of attacks and when innocent people were injured, they were treated in an Israeli hospital.

Clearly this is not a political issue for the Palestinian family or the Israeli family at this time. But I do think it says a lot about the intentions of the political parties.

Hang in there and try to remember there are people suffering on both sides. I think juxtapositions like this really portray the horrors and the humanity of war all in one image. Unfortunately it still seems like a lose-lose situation.

I was a premium member very early on. I cancelled because I was just getting my career started and seeing all of the places I could be going got a bit too painful. With everything starting to open up I'll probably sign up again. For the record I always absolutely loved your service. Between your service and points you can see so much of the world for a for a great price.

American lawyer that also works in capital markets. I set the wheels in motion to get licensed to practice law in Hong Kong and move there. I'm absolutely crushed China turned HK into an authoritarian shit hole just like any other Chinese city. I have to say I am glad they did it before moved there as opposed to after though.

Best of luck with your appeal. It's so heartbreaking what the CCP has done to one of the freest places in the world.

Yeah I got $1 for each, $5 for the last one.

I'm sitting in Hanoi as we speak. I was actually very surprised how I have been treated. Most of the people that are younger are incredibly friendly. I just celebrated a Vietnamese guys birthday with him the day before yesterday. There are those that are always out to con you, but considering how much the Vietnamese could hate us Americans or Europeans, I have been surprised how well I have been treated.

Also, Vietnam is supposed to be beautiful. I just took a decent hit cancelling my train tickets and should be buying a motorbike today to see some of the often overlooked beauty here. What cities/areas were you stationed in? Maybe I can send you pictures of how they look now. Either way, I'm hung over and rambling.
