If you ever get the chance to, don't.

Just flew from New York to Manila with a stopover in Beijing and back. What a miserable experience. Just a simple transfer in Beijing requires a Visa, and going through three different security checks. One when you get off the plane (guess they don't want you stealing the little pillows, one after you go through immigration/customs (even for a transfer, you need a visa) and one before you board the next plane. And they had one guy doing the Visa's for about 40 people, and he moved like Tim Conway from the old Carol Burnett show. For you younger folks, that means he moved very very slow. I am all for security, because I don't like the thought of being blown up. But that was ridiculous.

No individual air vents on the planes, and they took out the armrest between the seats. Fortunately my wife was with me and didn't mind to much if I took up to much room. :)

On the brightside, the stewardesses were really hot. And the food was tolerable.

Went to visit my wife's family. And it was the first visit for me. Mostly just visited with family, although we did take a tour of Corregidor, where US and Filipino troops held out for several months against Japanese troops in 1941/42.

Thailand is the hooker capitol. Manila is the internet bride capital. Not that I met mine that way. My wife was working as a tutor for some rich Arab's kid when I was stationed in Bahrain.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
