"The Singapore-Thailand Border".

*Cough*. There is no "Singapore-Thailand Border" because the countries are not adjacent to each other.

Regardless, Americans will believe this bullshit because most haven't made it out of state.

Back in 1995 I was searching for a copy of the last novel in the 'Orion' series by Ben Bova.

Had it in search lists with book search agencies (yes, they were a thing)

In San Francisco, first morning, walked out of my hotel, took a left, and a bookstore within 50 feet had it in the f*cking window.
