I was in Bangkok for a forum with the school this past week. it's my 4th time in that city. and while i was walking to the 7-11 near my hotel to look for British newspapers, this man comes up to me and asked me this.
him: "hello, where you going sir? you want take taxi?"
me: "er...ahhahaa...7-11 there only"
him: "you want take taxi?"
me: "no need no need across street only"
(i walk...he follows)
him: "you want woman? i can drive you to woman."
me: "ah?"
(he takes out and shows photos of naked women)
him: "i drive you to pretty woman...very cheap...you want sir?"
me: "er...no need..."
(i cross the road and he disappears into the darkness)
i love that city! I'm gonna do an advertisement for that city. people treat you well, they smile, theyre helpful, they dont show you an attitude, you can bargain, you can shop, you can be a king! my bloody mary at the bar cost S$3, i could afford to give the waitress a huge tip and see her smile and feel good, i bought a bottle of Calvin Klein perfume from the airport at S$60, feel like going there to shop sometime soon? Go! but dont spend until so much lar later spend until the exchange rate higher no fun already
(it's my city okay half of it is named after me. Bang & Kok. ha! okay stupid joke. but i come back to Singapore and my troubles are back again. depressing.)
