While I’m traveling, lots of random thoughts pop into my head. Each week I like to share a few of them. Please don’t judge me, I know I’m a bit crazy.
——————————-
I’ve gotten more relaxed since I’ve been traveling, but I still have OCD moments. The iPhone e-book app “Stanza” visually represents a bookmark as a torn page corner. I stopped leaving bookmarks because it bugs the shit out of me that a virtual page is purposely torn.
——————————-
There are many things I’ve done on this trip that I never did at home. For example, in Los Angeles I would never have been caught dead going to Watts, but in Thailand I’m visiting a lot of them.
——————————-
I was turned off when I saw the word “dung” on a restaurant sign in Vietnam, but this place in Thailand beats the shit out of that. So to speak.
——————————-
I wonder if the currency in Thailand was named by someone trying to say “toy boat” 3 times fast.
——————————-
After walking through many of the streets of Bangkok, I still haven’t seen a trannie bar called “Island of Misfit Boys” but that’s a natural one for the holiday season.
——————————-
After spending a month in Vietnam and moving on to Thailand I had to get used to traffic driving on the opposite side of the street. Well, I actually had to get used to them driving on only one side of the street.
——————————-
The only way this dog exercise treadmill could be any cooler is if they built a giant Habitrail around him. 
note to PETA: the treadmill was not motorized, the dog was running on his own and loving every second of it
——————————-
I thought dogs in Thailand were really well behaved, but then realized that it’s just too hot for them to do more than lay in the shade, lift their heads and “meh” at potential intruders.

If you had grown up in the 70s, you’d remember that Mr. Moose would constantly drop ping pong balls on Captain Kangaroo’s head. When I heard about “Ping Pong Shows” in Bangkok, that’s what kept coming to mind. Now I can’t shake the mental image of Mr. Moose shooting ping pong balls out of his vagina.
——————————-
Showing a Justin Bieber video in a nightclub should be banned for breaking some kind of underage drinking law.
——————————-
If hookers aren’t your thing, it’s nice to know that there are ATMs where you can get a date rape drug quickly.

One of my favorite looks on women in Bangkok is wearing glasses with her hair tied up. I’ve named that style “the Naughty Thaibrarian.”
