Stuck in BKK.......


Nah not really. Its been a few days since my last post. I found Colpe and Changboot. They though that I was sick in bed. I was feeling a bit under the weather from some stupid ass street vendor's pad thai I had eaten the night before in a drunken attempt to sober up. It was nothing much I was just trying to go to bed and not be bothered. Any how I did get the shits and they were green as hell. Kind of wigged me out a bit, but that all passed in time.

So Chang boot bought his bus ticket to head up North in the evening of tomorrow, we also might leave then but we have yet to make any solid plans. Were are a bit hesitant due to the 12 hour bus trip to Krabi. Not so cool in my book.

Bangkok is super huge. We went to China town today, Oh my god this place is fucking mad. It is like living a real live rendition of The Oriental Trading Company's magazine. Tons and tons of plastic worthless shit, and I mean SHIT. You cant just buy one, oh no everything is in huge bundles and packets and what not. We wondered the stinky mad streets and well they are more like alley ways with Asian semi's trying to get bye. Total insanity. I couldn't handle it for more than an hour or so. I told them I was gonna head to Na Na place. Its a bit more urban and way the hell more mellow. We all went together and kind of did the same crap we were doing down there.

This country is amazing. I wondered why they have such a low rate of unemployment, and that's because everyone is trying to sell you some crap. There is an everlasting amount of it to go around, anyone can do it. If they arn't selling you crap their selling you massage, sex, tuk tuk rides, or a metered taxi, who don't and wont ever turn their meters on. It is totally nuts. I love it. The rail system is great here. We took it down into the deep urban sprawl today. Air conditioned with TVs advertising weird ass Asian crap or some kind of Collagen that you can drink to look Asian??? I couldn't make it out.

Well that about rounded out the day, it really takes it out of you just walking down the streets here. Trying to hoard away the ping-pong shows, tuk tuk rides, good bang bang suck sucks, or the damn tailors. I mean there are more tailors here than I knew existed. They are all my friend too. Good price Cheap Cheap Same Same. I would buy a suit you know, but the fact that I cant get may balls from sticking to my legs, the thought of a suit is the last thing that would spark my interest. 75 bucks tho. Maybe on the way back I will buy as suit, a Luis Vuitton bag, a Rolex, a Mont Blanc pen, a Burberry Scarf, and some stingray boots. Just to fit in on the plane ride home. Right?.............

Anyhow I think I am gonna head south in the evening and or the day after. The overload of smog and my taste for knock offs have come to an end. Don't get me wrong its good fun here, just not to relaxing. I can buy TP on the way to my bathroom if I please. Where else can you do that. I mean unless your living on the streets of SF or something. Well I got to hit the sack, you all taker easy.....

Jespe.
