La Bangkok

What I learned:

  1. The easiest way to get booted off the Royal Palace grounds is by dressing indecently. Which in my case, applies to every single piece of clothing that I own.
  2. No matter how careful you bargain, you will always, ALWAYS, find the same dress at half the price the next day when you go shopping at another joint.
  3. If in doubt, take left. Especially useful when you are lost in the sea of people at the Suan Lum night market.
  4. Fake nails are horrible! If you think of getting some - don’t. Sure, they look real sexy and all. But it took me 20 minutes to take off my jeans to pee and by then I *almost* could not hold it anymore.
  5. Better than sex IS better than sex.
  6. You better weigh more than Nicole Richie if you want to brave the Skybar.
  7. For high marks during karaoke, sing as loud and as exaggerated as you can. It’s rated by decibels. The louder you are, you know the rest.
  8. You can fry anything. Yam, potatoes, pumpkins, bananas, pineapples - you name it.
  9. You can fall asleep despite having a masseuse sitting on your lower back and manipulating your spine. Or is that just me? (see previous post)
  10. I learn what a ‘ping pong’ is show. Disgusting. Thanks J, my horny french friend.
