The Fryhole

Our trip is rapidly coming to a close — just a few more days in Bangkok left. Bangkok’s not a very clean city, but it is a nice place to shop and buy poison traps souvenirs for everyone back at home.

Hahahaha I had you going there didn’t I? You’re not getting anything.

Yesterday we (”we” being myself and Angela) shopped around a fair amount and even visited the adult district of Bangkok — honestly, I was underwhelmed by it. The shows didn’t strike me as erotic or sexy at all; rather just… weird. Somewhat disturbing. Strange. It’s like watching a freak-show. It was worth seeing once; but not at all sure that I would go back again. Angela’s more happy though; ’cause apparently she was treated much better due to being in the company of a boy (last time she went it was her and a female friend and apparently they were denied access to a few of the clubs, the ones with the ‘best’ shows, etc.) So it was perhaps her first time seeing some of the… weird… stuff, as well.

I’m proud to report that I witnessed the second coming of Jesus yesterday evening, though — and he’s no longer a dude! He’s now a very nice lady that can turn water into cola like magic. I’ll leave that for you to imagine, considering the preceding paragraph. You read it, you can’t un-read it.
Mom and Dad are spending their time visiting the palace and temples, etc., but honestly I am pretty temple-ed out at this point, and Angela has already seen all of that… so we’re spending our time out and about, trawling the shops for cool things and just generally being pretty lazy. It works out well.

It is raining right now, though, so we opted to spend some time doing posts and documenting things, catching up on what we’ve been slacking on. So, for your pleasure (beyond this nightmare-inducing post), we’ve also written about:

• Nara, on November 9.
• Osaka Universal City, on November 10.
• Osaka Castle, on November 11.
• Himeji, on November 12.
• Hiroshima, on November 12.
• Fukuoka, on November 13/14/15.

I promise that none of those posts will leave you as scarred as this one did.
