Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase

California just mandated that all fast food workers get paid a minimum of $20/hour. Some places are closing, others looking into alternatives like self checkout, robots, etc.

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

Why do you report when you return? My understanding, perhaps wrong, is when you leave the country then return the return date starts the 90 day cycle irregardless of the cycle before leaving.

Small but growing cigar factory in Esteli Nicaragua.

I was in the US and decided to go down to Nicaragua to visit a cigar factory I'm involved in. It was a whirlwind visit and didn't do any sightseeing except for cigar related business but I thought there might be interest in seeing how the cigars are made.
