Bangkok Bliss

i'd forgotten how great it was to live in this city... all i need now is a steady income (preferrably in a strong foreign currency), my bf, my cat, and i'm set.

it's my second week back, and time feels like it's racing by and i'm trying to catch up though not succeeding. i've missed the food, the shopping, the culture, and the easy-going atmosphere of thailand. so far, i've seen a few of my old friends (wishing there were a few more in town, of course), gone to a hiphop club in bkk's oldest clubbing district, the RCA; and did a fun photoshoot with my mom at the mall :). it's been a blast and it's not nearly over!

there are plenty of things that would scare most ppl away, like the bird flu (which is non-existent), dirty streets (not a big deal), rats (you wuss), kidnappings (paranoia), theft (only if you're careless), etc. but i love it here. it is the ideal place for my retirement because of a few things this country possesses that ppl need to rememer : wonderful ppl, cheap shopping, great food, endless summers, beautiful unspoilt beaches and countryside, relaxed atmostphere, wondrous cultural experiences, and so on and so forth.

i guess what i'm really trying to say is that i wish i didn't have to leave it. i wish that there was something i could do right now that would let me do what i wanna do here, instead of overseas. it's a dream worth living.
