One of the things I love about Thai women is their incredible acting ability. Beautiful women like the one in this picture have the ability to pretend they don't even know I exist all the while down deep they are crazy about me.
Ah, dream on, khun Dean, dream on.

Discussing Ketchup in Foodland?
In Foodland one morning, I ate breakfast beside a dismal old git who had pulled an absolute stunner. She was probably a Nana Plaza showgirl. A chum describes these mismatched couples as "pro-celebrity golf" - and it's not too difficult to work out which one is the pro. She'd probably quoted him three times the going rate but some masochists won't be deterred.
In response to her unsmiling wall of silent contempt, he started clutching at conversational straws.
To indicate his fondness for tomato ketchup, he picked up the bottle, licked his lips and patted his belly. "Mmmmmm," he enthused. Next, he pointed at the Tabasco Sauce and started panting like a dog and fanning his mouth with his hand.
I've never been a great fan of condiment-related mime and there were more than a dozen sauce bottles standing on the counter so I decided to skip the rest of his performance by asking for the bill.

Lisa Rende Taylor Tells It Right
The interview between Lisa Rende Taylor of the UN Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking and Anderson Cooper which aired on March 23 on CNN was interesting, with Cooper insisting that it was all child sex slavery, and Lisa pointing out that many of the girls are intelligent, maybe bored in the village, and they want to try the more exciting life in the cities and to help out their families by working in the sex industry on their own free will. (This is two different stories, and Cooper could only see his side.) Lisa Rende Taylor should be proud of sticking up to the big media CNN who parachuted in for a quick one-sided affair.

Short Time
I sat next to a sullen looking pole performer in one of Nana Plaza’s top pleasure palaces. I got chatting as you do and asked her why she looked quiet and sultry. Miss Nok explained that her “sponsor” had ended the relationship. And so, I asked Nok, “Do you have a broken heart?” Nok replied, “No, I have broken bank.”
