STUDIO83

Left Koh Pangan that day to mainland Thailand heading to Bangkok, then Cambodia. So got back to BK and met a Ethopian who grew up in Paris I had met on the Island of Koh Toa. He was heading my way so we went to Siem Reap, Cambodia together. In short I did not like Cambodia. Too much scamming and the city - no, town - of Siem Reap where we were and where the Angkor Wat temples are was just all round shitty. And expensive. And poverty ridden. And the food was absolutely shitty. Hunger was an enemy.

After two days we left to come back to Bangkok. The Frenchman left to
go back to the islands and I met some German fella's who are really
cool. They knew someone who lives in Bangkok and was having a birthday party. So we went there dressed like beach bums - I was in a vest, shorts and slops and my friends were similarly dressed. When we get to the party it's at a Ftv type joint and it's a model agency's party. We felt like... well... a black man in Thailand.

The models were beautiful but they were models. But after they
lubricated with the old ale they lightened up to our unfashionable
presence. It didn't hurt that one of the German boys is a good-looking
man whom one of the models walked up to and said quite bluntly, "I
want to fuck you." to which he replied, "No thank you." as any polite
gentleman would. She asked, "Are you sure?" He said, "Yes."... We hate
him for that. But he says he couldn't cheat on his girlfriend... WHO'S

ON ANOTHER FUCKING CONTINENT!!!

I hold no grudges though.

At this party was a Chinese man who was really friendly. He bought us
drinks. Laughed at almost everything I said. And constantly wanted to
high five and cheers. I'm a great fan and advocate of the high five
and cheers but this guy was abusing these privileges. He invited us to
party with him when we're in Hong Kong and that he goes to only the
best parties and we'll take cocaine like it's the cure for death. I
took his number not assuming anything of it. Later I find out that
he's a big boy in the Chinese Mafia... good thing my Chinese VISA is
ready.

The next day i met up with the fellas and they were with two of the
craziest Argentinians, Luciano and Monkey... yes, the guy's name is
actually Luciano. Since then we've been drinking Chang beer together,
getting my face-liked by two Irish girls, laughing so hard it hurts,
kissing tall Holland girls on dance floors (she said something about
my height in Dutch, to which I replied, "As a man kort is, is hy ook
lank")... another story for another day.

Now, it's my last night in Thailand and it's back to Cambodia for two
or three days before finally reaching Vietnam... Good thing the
Argentinians will be traveling with me.

And as always there's no real plan.    Part 3
