I found this funny photo on Dave's, and sent it to several people:

I also sent it to a friend from Myanmar (who now lives in Australia). She got all upset about it, and claims its like telling her "F-you" somehow? Is there something culturally bad about this? |

Maybe cats and dogs can't be friends in SE Asia?  |

Watch Gran Torino - Clint Eastwood's new film.
One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. |

Mystery!
I visited BKK before, and there are cats all over the temples...they feed them regularly...they are diseased half of the time, but people seem to sort of TRY to take care of them.
In Malaysia, the cats look a lot more healthier, and are everywhere down there. |

^ Never seen any cats at the Thai temples. Lots of dogs, but never any cats.
Malaysia has lots of cats though.
There is a reason for it, but it escapes me. |
