Today while I was walking a random woman grabbed my crotch. Around the corner from where I live there is a starbucks and the prostitutes are all lined up on display. I do have to admit, they smell nice. It would be pleasant if they weren't cat calling the men as they walk by. Also the Nana hotel around the corner is packed full of them.
Tonight S met me at the Nana BTR. We walked around for a while then headed back to my place. We talked about a lot of things. She showed me her new website she made... I'm actually really impressed! She did a great job and did it all herself. Then we talked about aliens and ghosts and demons.
I went to walk her home and there was a blind rat in the streets. She was totally freaked out.

I arrived in BKK last night. The driver had no idea where BU place is, so we drove to the place that is close to Jezzy's but it was closed, so I talked to his friend on the phone and we eventually found it. Actually it's quite a nice place. But from what I understand, a bit out from most of the things I want to be close to.
I packed and went to Rajah mansion to check out the rooms. I really wasn't impressed. Shu met up with me there and she showed me a place around the corner where I ended up getting a place. It's ok. Not amazing, but ok. It will certainly do for a month if not longer.
On the drive I saw some pretty wild things. People building houses into the highway. Like, under the overpasses and into the water. They are built out of everything. Billboards even. I noticed that motorcycles pass everyone, and at the lights they are sitting there waiting in front of all the cars to change. Every single stop light has a mass of motorcycles waiting and then the cars behind them. I had a guy offer me 2 girls for 1 hour of $%^@ and @#$#. I was like... do I look like someone who pays for that?!
Jida is the lady at the front desk who rented my apartment to me. She's pretty funny and entertaining. But I think I might be too much and too silly for her.
Shu took me to a new mall today. The cab driver didn't turn on the meter so when we noticed he wanted 200 baht. The distance we had driven was worth only the initial 35. I threw a fit. He got 60 baht.
The restaurant we went to was super cool. When you walk in, they give you a scan card, and then you walk around it's like a big buffet and everything is a la carte. There are different restaurants, like a food court with all their foods laid out for you to pick. When you want something you scan it. Then you sit at a table and they bring it to you. I saw the pizza booth and the sandwich booth. So I had my card scanned for those items then I went and sat down. They were brought to me nice and hot. Then when you walk out, you give the cashier your card and pay. I thought it was super cool.
I went to california wow fitness in suhkhumvit 23. It's really nice. My tour guide's name is "Banana". Ha ha. What a crazy name!!! I saw car, window, wind, earth and water in China... but I gotta say, Banana takes the cake.
I just came home from getting a Thai massage. It was the worst one I've ever had, and I'm not saying it wasn't good, it was... because it's a Thai massage, but this one didn't impress me at all. Oh well, I'll go somewhere else next time. Oh, and she actually adjusted my junk for me while she was massaging my legs. Now that was wierd. She actually laughed at my reaction. I'll probably get 2 a week as long as I'm here. They are about 7 USD each. That's pretty good for an hour of knot rubbing bliss.
Pringles are smaller in thailand. Not just the size of the can, but the actual chips themselves!

June 20th, Saturday
Today was sleeping in late! :) It felt really good. I went to bed around midnight after having dinner with Cani. We had some interesting conversations to say the least. I really did a whole lot of nothing today. I studied up on some language schools and found there is some competition to do what I want to do. Oh well, I'm not going to give up, I just have to focus, be smart about it, and break on through. Also, today Jezzy told me that Jacky rented out his flat. So... now I have nowhere to stay in Thailand. I'll have to get a hotel and find something else... and probably for a whole lot more money. I'm crossing my fingers I can get it done. I plan on going to Macau tomorrow. I'll probably see Ceci and Marcella. Marcella is crazy. She wanted me so so bad back in about October, but I totally denied her because she has some really wild ideas. She used to be a slovakian model, and still models a bit. She had interesting stories about living in Israel and gambling on boats out in the red sea... but wow she's wacky! I'm not sure if I'll go through with seeing her. Right now crazy enough the plan is to stay at her place tomorrow night and then fly to Thailand. We'll see if I actually do that. I'd rather just find a place and pay $50 to stay at a hotel. At least I think I'd rather. I'm actually a bit curious to see what Marcella's place looks like. However, Ceci pretty much thinks I'm her boyfriend. Even though I never said I am. But... I guess I never said I'm not. But... I just don't know how you don't talk to someone for 10 weeks and then expect them to just come back to you and be your boyfriend. So, I need to keep my Marcella thing on the down low. Not because I'm a sleeze, but because I don't want to hurt Ceci. I'm not affectionate with either, so I'm not sure where they get these crrrrazy ideas. I just bought a bunch of junk food and pop, so I'm going to watch tv and crash.

Hong Kong
I'm in Hong Kong once again. It is extremely hot and humid here. It is a rotation of heavy rain and hot beautiful sunshine. After seeing the dirtier parts of LA yesterday I feel I can compare it with Hong Kong. They are about the same in terms of cleanliness, however Hong Kong just has a lot more people and the buildings are all very very high.
I picked up my check from Murine Talent Agency. I didn't realize they were taking a 20% cut. I thought it was already off the top. I'm staying at the Wesley Hotel in Wan Chai #22 Hennessy Road.

Thailand February Trip Notes
February Thailand Trip
I was walking past the massage place and I saw a kid peeing in the gutter. Totally naked like 4 year old kid.
There are wild dogs here like crazy.
I ate shrimp heads.
There is a high suicide rate here. I'll have to look into why.
Girls here really like to show off their boobs. There are a lot of old ugly men here with really beautiful Thai women. I noticed that in the airport and then when I went to the Grand Palace I saw several hundred year old painted murals of stories of wars and history and all the women had their breasts showing and the men had really ugly faces.
When you go to Thailand, don't wear flip flops at the temples, always bring water with you EVERYWHERE because it's always hot.
There are really beautiful clouds here.
At wat pho there was this really cute white puppy running around. I sat and watched and noticed that people from all over the world were all doing the same thing as me. I think the world needs to find its white puppy. There were university students all in uniforms of white tops and navy blue bottoms giving oral presentations to each other.
I rode in a Tuk Tuk (motorcycle taxi) and I almost choked from how bad the pollution around me was. So many nasty vehicles spitting out black smoke.
I found out Gift has all sorts of CDs that she's put out. She's a famous singer in Thailand!
There are scooter taxis everywhere. They are just scooters and you sit on the back and then drive off! Kinda dangerous!
When Thai's are on the phone, it constantly sounds like they are about to hang up.
When Gift and I would get gas for her car, the gas station attendants would give her a bottle of water.
When I was in a club with Jezzy, I went to the bathroom. As I was at the urinal a guy came up behind me and started to give me a massage. I just about flipped out then I saw him go to another guy who let him massage him. I realized it is a service here. Wow. Not one I want to participate in.
I had to use my sunglasses as a mirror to shave.
I met some famous singers and models at some parties and my favorite thing to do was to walk up them and say "Are you famous?" ha ha. It got a good reaction out of them. I met Lydia, then the next morning I saw her music video on MTV asia. She told me about how she many alleged she was former prime minister Thaksin's mistress. I also met a guy named Roger who is one of Gift's friends who does movies. He just did a documentary about the first Thai expedition to Mt. Everest.
Many restaurants cut their napkins in half, I'm guessing to save on volume?
Turn on the tv here and all english programming has soccer, rugby, horse jumping and horse polo and motorcycle racing and badminton. Badminton is faster than tennis! It's fast! And the girls are NOT cute! Where is beach volleyball when you need it?
