Tubby is Tired
The one major downside to being semi-retired is that I gained weight due to being less active. I didn’t realize how many calories are burned just getting ready for work, walking over to the cable car, taking the cable car, doing things in and around the office, then taking the cable car back home. I’ve … Continue reading
One Night in Bangkok
Technically, it was three nights in Bangkok, but the first one didn’t really count, as my flight arrived about 11:45 p.m. By the time I exchanged currency, made it through Immigration, collected my bag, got a taxi and checked into the hotel, it was definitely after 1:00 a.m. Nearly all of the following day was … Continue reading
Adieu to You
On my last day in Siem Reap, I once again went to the Old Market to buy another pair of baggy pants. After stumbling upon The Blue Pumpkin Bakery, I picked up some macarons. Unfortunately, they were sort of crunchy on the outside. Kaya Spa gave me a very good one hour candle massage for $25; … Continue reading
First Impression of Siem Reap
Believe it or not, after all of your patient waiting, I’m finally going to fill you in on Cambodia. My flight to Siem Reap from Denpasar via Air Asia required a layover in Kuala Lumpur. Though it was very tempting to buy an overpriced purse from Barbara Riehl at one of the shops, I parked myself … Continue reading
Hangin’ in the Hood
On Monday, I was still in relaxation mode. I didn’t feel like wandering far from my Sathorn neighborhood. Being an avid fan of TripAdvisor, many people had recommended Le Spa, a few doors down from the condo. They seemed to have opened at 10:00 a.m. and I walked in around 10:30 a.m. A couple of … Continue reading
Some Men Don’t Have a Clue
An attractive enough guy in his mid-30’s sent me a message that said something to the effect that he was good at giving full body massages, so would I like to have one? My response was that my friend is a masseuse. He then said that I should try one of his so that I … Continue reading
Isn’t It Grand?
So it was my first full day in Bangkok, but I was unsure if my ex, N., would be able to spend time with me. Since the texting had worked between our two phones the previous week, I sent him a text asking if he was available either that day or that night. If he … Continue reading
Back to Hectic Hanoi
Leaving Hoi An on Sunday morning made me a bit sad. I’d gotten used to the slow pace and relative quietness of the little town. Three Kiwis were sharing a driver with me to the Da Nang Airport. Of course, we struck up a conversation en route to the airport. They were actually on their … Continue reading
Last Day With Friends in Hoi An
Although my alcohol intake had been much higher on Wednesday night than on Tuesday night, I woke up on Thursday morning feeling better than I had on Wednesday morning! I was moving around a little slower, though. Thus, it took me a tad longer to shower, eat breakfast and get all of my miscellany together … Continue reading
Hey, Shorty, It’s My Birthday!
After my all day motorcycle tour with Son, I showered up and met the Aussies, J. and L., at our usual spot. I actually sat at a table in the front while waiting for them. When they walked up, they had two other Aussies with them, M. and J2, whom they’d also met at a … Continue reading
