Thursday, March 1, 2007. China to consider hosting 2018 Finals. LONDON - CHINA is considering a bid to stage the 2018 World Cup Finals, said Fifa president Sepp Blatter.

Singapore Otah: Security guards there to protect residents from intruders, not be the nanny to residents
http://singaporeotah.blogspot.com/2007/03/security-guards-there-to-protect.html
