WC

By stran on Sat, 11 Nov 2006

Greatest fear - cockroaches, their friends and family. And toilets. Toilets are my new acquired phobia. I refuse to pee until its a 'nice place'. I've been scared into this state. I cannot express how deep this fear is; I am deadly serious about this. I am going to write a book about 'The Worst and Best Places to Pee in Bangkok' and may follow it up with other Asian destinations. Although, I'm afraid people will find out about the good places, word will get out and it will become shit. I am not being posh or fussy, S has recognised and accepted this as part of who I have become.

This is not a poem and forgive me cos it rhymes. But I wanted to say: I felt jealous and unsure. Unpretty and not spectacular at all.

Do you like ping pong?

By stran on Fri, 03 Nov 2006

It feels shallow. I feel shallow that I have not grasped a better understanding of the country, the way people live. I very much feel I'm on the outside looking in. I'm part of that backpacking trend who waltz into town, wear fisherman's pants, get dreads, rents a scooter because no one asks for a licence, and even though I have not committed any of the above, I have yet to do anything that separates me from consuming Thailand. I'm guilty of taking the Lonely Planet route of the southern islands and then Bangkok, nothing original at all my friends.

If you relax and do not think too much, surely it will grow (?) 1) Give people time and space. 2) Do not push because surely they will pull away. I know all this and have been told. But I can almost see it in the room; that as the feelings grow, I want to soak you up, know you're here with me.
