In Topic: Peculiar Thai Habit Of Allowing Books To Be Read In The Shop

Today, 09:18

Happens all the time in Tokyo.  Walk by any 7-11 type store or any of the bookstores and you will see people reading books/magazines etc.  7-11 is especially popular in the sweltering summer.  After working hours, many drop into 7-11 to escape the heat.

I wonder if her people make an an idiotic tweet before visiting every country to increase publicity and ultimately make them more money. Nothing kids love more than an artists who upsets mom and dad (officials).

Honestly, how anyone could see this tweet provoking a response from anyone in authority is beyond me and I like to believe that I have a decent imagination.  I would be very surprised if they expected the tweet to generate more funds for Gaga.  My guess is (that is if they even heard about aftermath) that they are stunned that some people got upset about her tweeting about a very, very public item on sale in several areas of Bangkok.

My solution is to wave or give a friendly hello to the person/persons staring.  It usually ends the staring.

I vaguely remember the 50th anniversary.  If I recall correctly the bridge was so packed with people that it was a strain on the metal!

That is correct!  Jammed like sardines.
