B.t.w. all pics taken with the PanaLeica 12-60 f2.8-4 (not sure why exif is not picking it up).

These folks don't have much money, but candy is cheap. So the kids get candy, the sugar industry thrives and the teeth rot and fall out.

Yes Jørgen, governments ought to be far more restrictive and don't let the industry produce all that they want to produce, we are in really deep trouble all over,
it's now the politicians ought to save us and the planet too, by taking right decisions and some alarming restrictions. But these decisions will be unpopular even though deeply necessarily, but the politicians want to be elected next time too...
so they won't do it - so what shall we do? it's a hard nut to crack...if I were more religious I would pray rather often...

In Norway they recently tried heavier taxes on products with sugar. The result: people travelled to Sweden to buy instead. And Norwegians are supposed to be educated :loco:

Aren't a lot of Scandinavians taking the ferry to Germany to tank up on alcoholic beverages (and get tanked in the process)?

Restricting the use of an illegal substance is very hard, restricting a legal one nearly impossible :confused:

When I still lived in Norway, it was like this:
The Norwegians go to Sweden, the Swedes go to Denmark and the Danes go to Germany, all because it was cheaper on the other side of the border. Norwegians still go to Sweden, in large numbers. In Norway it's called "Harry trade", since the name Harry is kind of derogatory in Norway. Long story about that that I don't have time for right now.

And an other (off topic) curiosity : Swiss citizens go to Germany and buy goods . (mostly food)
On export , they get a full refund of the german V.A.T , which is 19% and then they have to pay the SWISS V.A.T. which is only 8% . :ROTFL: . No , sorry , this is NO FAKE .

That keeps the customs officers on both sides of the boarder rather busy

Challenging image this. Bangkok with its afternoon heat haze, a lens that is only sharp at f/8 and the GX8 that isn't the latest, greatest when it comes to detail rendering. Solution? Buy a G9, a 50-200mm or 200mm + TC1.4x and take the photo in the morning. That sounds exepensive, doesn't it? :ROTFL:

It's funny that Bangkok, one of the flatest cities on earth, has a local rail system that in places looks like a roller coaster :LOL:
