One man in Bangkok

I was in a shopping centre in Silom - the main business/hooker/gay area of town - recently when I came across (figuratively speaking, of course) this wonderful little thing outside a seafood noodle restaurant. I don’t think it’s going too far to say that those little guys, especially the crab, look waaaaaaay too happy to be food!

This is my friend Tabo.

Handsome in a rugged and manly way wouldn’t you say? He’s just left Thailand to go back to South Korea. I first met Tabo in Korea and together with a great group of friends, we had some wild nights out in Seoul. It’s mainly down to him that I’m with Mina now; they’re good friends from school and she was visiting him when I first met her. So thanks for that ‘Bo.

Here’s a few more pictures of the young and eligible bachelor. Drunk with Mina

Dancing in the rain outside Carne Station in Seoul with our good friend Saejin (miss you SJ).

Finally a picture of Tabo, our friend Onn and me at Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai. The pagoda behind us is actually covered in gold.

Safe trip ‘Bo hope to hear from you soon na.

My friend Spevs sent me this picture from when we were on a school trip to Germany. I think I was about 13 at the time. I think you’ll all agree that I was already quite a dashing fellow. If you look closely enough, in the top right corner, you can see the shady reflection of Spevs taking this picture on his phone from a old real photo (the type that used to exist in the past and were made from special paper - aaah, you probably don’t remember them).

As you can see from this picture of me last year at the Dunn’s river waterfall in Jamaica (which I climbed - one of the greatest experiences of my life!), nothing much has really changed since those days except for the fact that I now make a “V” with the other hand.

I’m having my Thai exam tomorrow. I wish I was having a mai Thai exam instead - in fact I’d probably prefer a muay Thai exam. Wish me luck!

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a bit of a freak for my blog statistics. I’m not as bad as I was when I first started, but I still check at least once a day. One thing I like to check up on is the search engine terms - things that people have typed into search engines that linked to my site. Some of my favourites so far have been

“ladyboy sit bangkok” from a Norwegian search engine

“photo of monkey drinking beer” and

“jellyfish dead human”

However, my absolute favourite, all time best search item came in today. Somebody searched for

“one man in bangkok blog”

Yes! Somebody actually searched Google for me!! Word is spreading, I am growing (and it’s not only my waistline). You have made my day that person, thank you.

Just like Shelly, I stole this from Rachel Lynn.

I am Mr Do.I am sedentary by nature, enjoying passive entertainment, eating when the mood takes me, and playing with my food. I try to avoid conflict, but when I’m angered, I can be a devil - if you force me to fight, I will crush you. With apples. What Video Game Character Are You?

What the hell is a Mr Do?????? Now am I missing something here coz I’ve never heard of this guy or his golden apples. Who is he? He looks like Mr. Magoo wearing a strawberry!

So this isn’t original as I stole it from here but I just thought it was simply too funny not to steal. Basically it’s a list of the supposedly worst domain names on the ‘net, however, if I was to make a list of the best ones, some of these would be in there no question.

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com

My favourite is therapistfinder, but molestationnursery is good too. I wonder if anyone at these companies ever realised…

So I was looking through some old photo CDs to make a compilation so that I have a few cheap Christmas presents for my family, when I came accross this unusual set. I have absolutely no idea when I took them, where I took them or even why I took them. In fact I can’t even be sure if it was actually me that took them or not. I also found some great photos of my trip to Jamaica last year for my mum’s wedding, but I think I’ll save them for a slow news day (today is not a slow news day at all, I promise).

Look at the camera.

Look left.

Look right.

Now look nowhere.

Enough of that rubbish now (I like it at least and it’s my blog, so ner ner). Today Mina and I went to Suan LumNight Bazaar (see previous picture of big wheel and old type replica building) for some food and a foot massage. Mina was late so I had to sit watching the weekend’s football highlights with a beer. The weather was fine and I was sitting outside, drinking beer, watching football, waiting food and massage - it’s really is a dreadful life isn’t it? For Rachel Lynn, the food was great, semi dried (kinda half jerkied I guess) fried pork and some chicken green curry fried rice washed down with a few bottles of Tiger beer.

Going back in time a little bit Marty McFly style, only without the crazy haired old man, I’ve got a couple more picture of Hua Hin to show. For all you monkey lovers out there. Dead jellyfish lovers will have to wait a little while longer to get their fix I’m afraid. A cute little monkey.

A not so cute old monkey relaxing in the shade and showing off his enormous balls.

A teaser of the Jamaica pictures I promised earlier, here’s me in a waistcoat with a man who’s sign is clearly confused.
