    Anyone know of a good foreign BBS? Preferably in English, but I wouldn't mind Spanish or Italian. I enjoy the contributions from our foreign friends here, and would like to read more opinions from abroad.

    Interesting. I would like one in Spanish. Hey, in my new gentler kinder persona I promise not to fight with Cohen, unless he gets too out of control.;)

    Also looking for a good bbs on foreign travel.

    You're welcome to my BBS at my sports web site, which is populated mostly by foreigners.

    Hi Mango,

    I don't know...politics, world events, etc.

    Sorry, this is about the only BBS I read. NBA news and inside info is very hard to come by in the UK, so I'm here. Never got into using another board. Of course, I also get my dose of overseas opinion on here too...

    Still searching to fill that specific request.

    Will give you this web site in the interim.
    <a HREF="http://shanghaiexpat.com/XForum+main.html?POSTNUKESID=19bf93e7b3e9202447c4ad403c2e4703">Shanghai Expat Forum</a>

    A listing of some Chinese Forums:

    <a HREF="http://www.chinakontor.de/m-bulletin-boards.htm">LINKS TO CHINESE FORUMS, BULLETIN BOARDS, MESSAGE AND DISCUSSION BOARDS ABOUT CHINA</a>

    <hr color=red>
    If one wishes to stick to VBulletin BBS sites only:

    <a HREF="http://www.vbulletin.com/links.php">VBulletin Links</a>

    <hr color=red>

    A BBS that seems to be associated with Pravda (interesting viewpoints here).

    <a HREF="http://engforum.pravda.ru/forumdisplay.php3?forumid=2">Pravda BBS</a>


    <hr color=red>
    I used to read an Israel Forum from time to time, but the posters/members seemed predictable in their discussions and I lost interest.


    <hr color=red>
    There is an ACTIVE BBS that discusses security - geopolitical issues for the country of India and someone can drop me an email if they want the link.


    <hr color=red>

    I also read a military weapons BBS that is dominated by former military serviceman from around the world and that link is also available via an email to me.


    <hr color=red>

    I haven't really gone looking for BBS sites in foreign languages and that is something to work on.

    Thanks for finding those, Mango.

    BTW, I never expected there to be a forum for Ford Focus owners in Greece...wow :)

    Don't know if I could stand the Pravda site too long...I'll shoot you an e-mail on the others.
