Tradeoffs after Obama’s meeting with security advisors (The Christian Science Monitor) 20100107182738

But the measures, while perhaps reassuring, involve risk. They are so broad that they could alienate friendly nations with large Muslim populations and damage the US economy. And they may not be all that effective.

What shall I do when I'm at Pattaya? 20080722071547
[quote:1d3486d0f5="Futureguy4DP"]Hey, how much (in Euros) are steak dinners with 5-6 drinks apiece for two people, in Pattaya? Say, in an expat bar around Walking Street. :?:[/quote:1d3486d0f5] Walking street is on the far South end of Pattaya, there are lots of good places between there and Naklua. There are a lot of bars around Pattaya. Here is a link to some places that serve food and drinks. http://www.thaiwebsites.com/restaurantspattaya.asp Sample steak house menu: http://www.bighornsteakhouse.com/ Conversion chart: http://www.nwa.com/travel/world/currency.html Drinks will be from between 50/60 baht on up to 200 baht depending if it is a beer bar, happy hour or a fancy place near an expensive hotel. You can find places where you pay more for drinks but most of the time you will be getting something in the 80 baht to 110 baht range.
