Well it is over the two week time mark and I am begining to hate Thailand. I do enloy some things but in general the whole place is a festering pool of std laiden hookers and foul smells.
Here is a list of what I hate about Thailand:
1. Every other block there is a rotten sewer stench.
2. Every ten feet some jerk wants to sell me an "armani suit" ( I did get two made for me)
3. Every five feet I get sexually harassed by the std laidened hookers.
4. The whole buying process requires at least 10 mins. of just bartering.
5. The food is hard on the intestines.
6.No regard for pedestrian traffic. I saw a group of school kids damn near get plowed by a tourit bus on many occasions.
7. Boys Town. ( Very scary)
8. Fat old europeans with before mentioned hookers.
What I like about Thailand:
1. Cheap knockoff clothing.
2. Cheap dvd's that sometimes are still in the theaters.
3. The average person is extremely nice.
4. Cheap electronics.
I work at night so I only go out into Pattaya beach during the day. The beach on the hotel grounds is filled with fat russian men ( who have no problem sporting the speedo) and half naked russian women. After all is said and done I'd rather be in Japan where everything at least is some what familiar and normal there. I would like to throw out this disclaimer though. I am very happy to be here in support of the Tsunami victims. The portion of Thailand that I am in has been unaffected for the most part by the devistation. I feel a deep sorrow for those who have lost loved ones and all of their belongings. So please do not take my negative waves for the common ugly american attitude. I just hate to see such lack of morales and common courtesy for the average human being. I really have no intentions of hurting the feelingsof the average local. I should be home within the next month. I'll keep posting when I get the chance.
