Orient Express

Saturday morning, I flew out of the backwater aiport that is supposed to be Hanoi International back to Bangkok for a final two-day flory tour before heading over to Macau. It was so great to be back in Bangkok, a city that has truly become my home away from home away from home on this backpacking adventure. Two hours after the plane landed, I had already left my bag in safekeeping and was busy shopping away in Siam.

The next day Hanna and I played it cool until nighttime, where I had my last Bangkok night. We went to Sukhumvit where we enjoyed some tapas before heading over to Patpong for a looksie. May I say that I have never seen so many old, dirty, crusty men in my life? It was awful. Continuing on our tour of sexual deviance, we headed over to Silom where I saw my first ping-pong show. Please look that up if you don't know what that means in BKK; we saw a woman smoke a cigarette, pop balloons with a blow dart, and pull five meters of a stringy party favor out of... somewhere.

Seeking to cleanse my eyes from that, Hanna and I went to DJ Station, where I had my first gay-clubbing experience in BKK. The boys were hot and they all had iPhones. Nothing interesting happened that night per se, but that's okay because I just wanted to dance, and that is what we did. Hanna is great to go dancing with. The fags take well to her as well.

Night slowly became morning, and at 4:30 I was back at Suvarnaphumi to catch my flight to Macau. On the flight here was a flight attendant that was so hot I daresay he was the hottest man I have seen in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, the crew for that flight operated the return flight back to BKK so there couldn't have been any opportunities: drat. I completely love Macau. I've always wanted to go to China. I am not quite sure if this really counts, but Chinese is all over the place, and there are quite some good-looking Chinese men here as well. It's so weird to be out of Southeast Asia. There are hardly any backpackers and things are much more expensive here. But things are modern. And the places are clean. And besides the hoardes of casinos which Macau is famous for, the city really does have some wonderful sights that have kept me busy throughout the day. The mix between Chinese and Portugese cultures have really created a unique city that I can see myself spending a lot more time were it not for time and money constraints. It truly is a beautiful city with many cultural sights... with free admission!

Tomorrow I take the ferry to HKG. The bulltet-tour continues...
