Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.
Watching the European news. The so called "Great Game" manages to change many fans into destructive, raving lunatics. A phenomena found around the world. I think much of it is to do with unreleased tension with so little scoring to vent this pent up excitement at frequent intervals throughout...- harryopal1

Taiwan
Well, there is archaeological evidence of Chinese presence in Sarawak and Sabah going back to the 7th century and perhaps beyond. Ultimately it comes down to the disposition of a dominant power and how far they are prepared to push. Zionist extremists look back 2000 years in asserting that...- harryopal1

Taiwan
As China consolidates its power position throughout the world it seems just a matter of time before there is a takeover of Taiwan. Were that to succeed without a war with the US and China then went on to have its claims in the South China Sea accepted I cannot help but wonder if the time will...- harryopal1

Expectations re the Middle East.
Even if Israel were able to hammer Hezbollah into an "acceptable" state of incapability, how difficult will it be to radicalize the tens of thousands of relatives to want revenge for the tens of thousands killed in Gaza and Lebanon? There may be ceasefires but long term peace seems extremely...- harryopal1

Indonesia to go Nuclear?
I posted the Finland information which is not untypical of what happens with the construction of nuclear reactors with long delays and huge blow outs in cost. The initial costs estimates with such proposals look terrific when the new, nice and shiny details are put out there but the actual cost...- harryopal1

As Jet says, "So now it’s Cemagi, Nyanyi and Uluwatu and Gianyar. Tomorrow it will be Tabanan and Mengwi and Klungkung and Ungasan. Etc. Etc."

New laws- Government control
Bali Governor Wayan Koster keeps on about wanting just "quality tourists". Visited Pandawa beach Last week; first time for some years. It seems "quality tourists' are those who don't care what they pay for even simple pleasures. It used to be that you drove down to the beach through those...- harryopal1

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
Although my WNI wife worked with Radio Republic Indonesia for 25 years she takes no interest in the big issues so doesn't worry about economic problems , inflation, the Middle East etc. But in the absence of serious worries she elevates minor matters such as a broken glass getting a rating of...- harryopal1

DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.
With the Ebola virus now spreading from Central African to east and West Africa I guess we can feel pretty safe here. News today has the Ugandan government saying, "Don't worry. Everything is under control.' How reassuring. I am reminded of the recent outing of the South Australian Premier...- harryopal1

Weakening IDR
Perilous times. So much depends on a negotiated peace in the Middle East. Even if the US and Iran agree it seems that Israel will continue its aggressive campaigns that will continue to destabilize. If the Indonesian government can maintain subsidies on fuel then things may not run amok. But...- harryopal1

Weakening IDR
Whichever way the US $ turns, 60% of US workers who are struggling to make ends meet are being screwed. And the Brookings Research Institution finds that one-third of the 175 million middle class struggles to afford basic necessities such as food, housing, and child care. This pattern seems to...- harryopal1

Shortage of 498,000 teachers in Indonesia next year?
I wonder to what extent the digital zeitgeis is being analysed regarding its impact on learning. Whenever travelling I read but rarely see another traveller reading. As for students it is said that the addictive impact of social media is even changing the mindsets of students who then struggle...- harryopal1

If I were to send Aus dollars to my BCA account they would exchange for IDR 12,372. I use Wise and send IDR and the Wise rate today is 12,532,766 for the Aus$. It adds up with a large amount.- harryopal1
