Always thought so, myself.

Welcome!
Would like to hear more about your travels in Asia, I'd guess it was more than Nepal for sure :-)
reply
Sorry, but my information is so dated, it would be totally useless to the current traveler. However, I learned that people are people everywhere and are largely the same wherever you go.
reply
Old is even more relevant! :-)
But I won't pester you too hard, of course... Or maybe I will hahaha
reply
I travelled in India, Pakistan with a side trip to Afghanistan, Nepal, then over to Thailand, Cambodia, Taiwan, Philippines, Japan and South Korea. That was in the early 80’s to 95. I only came back to America once. I can proudly say I went around the world from east to west and then went half way back west to east. I stayed in Japan for about 10 years. For a while, I had to bounce out of Japan every six months to either Thailand or South Korea, whichever flight was cheaper. I got to see a lot of both Thailand and Seoul.

Cool, you've seen way more than me and also earlier!
These days everything is changing rapidly of course, what I observe continuously is what countries remain somewhat free on a practical level, expecting the world to close down again worst case, and if not certainly getting harder to travel without worry and preparation...
reply
I found that you are most free when you are traveling in foreign countries because nobody bothers you with laws and regulations if you are not doing anything extraordinarily stupid. In India, I saw a French kid get his legs broken by a policeman wielding a lathi (which is an inch round, four feet long piece of bamboo)because he got caught with charis and did not want to pay the bribe. He ran out of the hotel, leaving, all his identification and papers in his room. The cop held them up in front of his face before giving him a might wack across the shins, breaking his legs. In India, at the time, they took their bribes seriously.
reply
Charis?
FAFO is universal, that is for sure...
It used to be lax yes, and in many ways still is if you're just coming through, but once you do something noticeable online where you can be identified things can take treacherous turns these days!
Still I need to do just that soon ;-)
reply
In English - hashish. I
love it, FAFO is a fact of life everywhere.
I never travelled whilst the iInternet was up and running for the public. For information, I had a little Sony multi frequency radio that could pick up world wide broadcasts that I listened to.
Who are you?
reply
Why would you ask who I am? I am a man wearing a nym. Beneath this nym there is an idea. And ideas are bulletproof. -V
reply
Then I triggered a man with the right armor. 😀
