    It’s inevitable 

    Sooner or later every expat thinks he can make a killing running a bar.  It’s human nature.

    It’s Not My Problem 

    I don’t get these kids who come up and try to wash the windows of the taxis. They know the driver isn’t going to pay them and it’s not my fucking taxi so I could care less if the windows are clean. I’m not giving someone money to wash someone else’s car.

    Vocational Choices 

    Getting off the BTS at Nana on the even side of the street there were two girls walking past with shorts that barely covered their asses and fishnet stockings on. Being the perv that I am I sort of gave them a double take as I walked off the last step of the BTS exit.

    Beggar sitting at the bottom of the steps: “Oh, lady no good. Bad girls.”

    How screwed up is that when beggars are passing judgment on your vocational choices?

    Work Permit 

    Guy #1: Masterbate?!?! Who the hell masterbates in Thailand?

    Guy #2: Yeah, I’m pretty sure you have to have a work permit to do that.
