I used to be like that, until I've made friends that are gay and realized their struggles growing up as gay particularly in any Asian family. Yes I still find gay sex disgusting (and I talked to my gay friends about it too) but I respect who they are and will not change my friendship with them because of that. In the end they're just like you and me, and a lot of them are quite funny.

Winning Thailand is nothing. Thailand is considered as a strong team in Southeast Asia but in a whole Asia,... nothing and never won any noticeable title. In Asia Pacific, I would order the strong teams as follow: 1) Japan 2) S. Korea 3) China. However, China seems still far away from any continental competition. China should work harder!

This unassuming plate found in a cabinet at an elderly woman's retirement flat has netted her three grandchildren a £300,000 windfall - 100 times more than expected. The 8ins wide Chinese charger was found by an auctioneer during a clearance of the unnamed widow's flat following her recent death. The item, made from jade, was given an estimate of £2,000 to £3,000 but the experts began to suspect they had undervalued it when they were inundated with enquiries from the Far East ahead of the sale. Wouldbe-buyers took up 11 phone lines while others bid online before it eventually sold for a hammer price of £300,000.
