Is anybody out there?
I know it's the holidays, and you're all pretty busy with shopping, decorating, and making the plum pudding, but could you spare a few words for a traveler missing contact with his friends? I've taken to reading other peoples blogs, and for the most part it's absolute shyte. Hey, in comparison I'm giving up some quality content here....just let me know someone's reading it with a comment here and there. Even a "Hi Mikey" will do. By the way.....I enabled anonymous posting in case you've forgotten your usernames or passwords. Just throw your name in the comment so I know who you are.

I'll give a post! I have been in Bangkok all week getting the bump taken off my eyelid and recovering.
with On who got a new nose. She looked great after a couple of days but eye look like a Monster. See I had a little extra done while they were in there (a little eyelid tuck) The doctor said it would be worth it while they were in there. I thought it couldn't hurt, boy was I wrong. He also said that the reason I had saggy eyelids was because I smile to much. I guess it's not pretty being happy! So now I'm not so happy being pretty! The good part is for the nose and the eyes it only cost about $600.00 not including hotel. I go back on sunday to get the stiches out and I should be 10 years younger looking in about a month of recovery and by the way I have no shame!
Love you all and
Happy Holidays

HARVEY!!! HAHAHAHA....that's it.
As I prepare to leave Thailand for the States I am filled with an inconsolable ennui and a deep existential angst, albeit tinged with the sweetest contentment and never-before-dreamed happiness that goes beyond the pure carnal pleasures.
Thailand is called "The Land Of Smiles" for good reason.
What wonders I have seen, felt and tasted I could only have dreamed of before and now they have become a part of me that will never diminish in time.
Harvey's generous hospitality and inclusion into the family of himself, On and Thurston have made the trip especially sweet as it has been a brotherhood of joyful extravagence without which I might have felt like just another Farong tourist stuck in a dingy hotel along one of the crowded Sois.
Thank you Harvey and On.
And thank you Mikey and Paew (Papa and Mama) without whom I might have fallen over the edge and been lost in a netherworld of the dark underbelly of Pattaya. Their constant guiding force has remained an unwavering beacon of hopeful outcomes for the future.
I have made my share of rookie mistakes.
Don't drink too much RedBull.
Never bar-fine the same girl more than once or twice and never on consecutive nights.
Never fall in love with a bar girl (and for God's sake if you do don't tell her!)
Never tell anyone how much money you have (or don't have)
When exiting Phnom Pehn's famous "Martini's" bar don't stop, keep walking towards your motodop or you will be swarmed by dozens of drivers all yanking you towards their bike. (The security guard had to forcibly drag me out of the seething throng!)
If you eat Ka-Pao never tell the waiter you like it a "little" spicy. This is a sure invitation to test your capsacin emergency response by the head chef.
If you think you are in over your head then you have already drowned, trust me here.
When you do bite the bullet and come to Thailand remember that the Farongs are the kings and don't whay to anyone. They should be whaying to you, your majesty.
If it comes off of an outdoor food cart it will probably make you sick, even the locals get indigestion from some of that slop.
Just because she looks like a lady it don't mean she is a lady, the Thai's practically worship their cross-dressers and some of them are prettier than the girls.
Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock.
Unless you enjoy the constant itch of mosquito bites...
deet, deet, deet - or citronella, but I wore so much of it that everyone thought I was a human candle.
Most of all whatever happens, wherever you are, however much you have had to drink, whomever the girl (or guy is)
keep smiling!
:-)
Cheers, thanks and Sawatdee Krap!
