i need a drink

I just really need a drink.

the first shots from bkk

Arrived in Bangkok yesterday morning to discover that it was remarkably more bearable than Hong Kong, weatherwise. Coming here makes me feel weird as I become acutely aware of the fact that the cost of one night in my hotel is someone's entire monthly salary. (And this is not even one of the most ballin' hotels in Bangkok.)

Going to Siam Center & Central World Plaza today. I heard there is a Topshop there.

all my bags are packed & i'm ready to go

Leaving Hong Kong... Hello, Bangkok.

stars shining bright above you

If you've been following my Twitter, you'll know that I've spent the past 2 days at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center (okay, maybe not exactly all that because they only allow for 140 characters) making an ass of myself. Not only was I approached to purchase items of extreme extravagance like a diamond utensil set and diamond iPod cover, but I also set off the security alarm today by accident, causing a frenzy with the security people. Oops.

I also met someone who designs sex toys for Hustler. He came up with the concept of Sex Twister. He is SO not what you would imagine a novelty toy designer to look like... or maybe he is.

pop a pastry in your mouth

From my favorite Hong Kong bakery...

symbols clashing everywhere

I just arrived in Hong Kong today, after a brief layover in Korea. (Don't ever stay at the Best Western Incheon. Bootleggery is all around, starting with Westlife on repeat in the lobby and ending with the rock hard beds.)

Not much has happened today, but then again, it's only 4pm. I plan on getting into some serious mischief tonight with one of my old friends, Steenie, dropping in from Shenzen. A few things I've seen so far on my daring venture out of the hotel to brave the heat + humidity.

we'll walk around pretending we're all grown up
