Last night was Valentine's day so I went to a ping pong show. It was pretty much exactly what you'd expect. In addition to ping pong balls there was writing of names, launching darts to pop balloons, and cigarette smoking. Wonder if that shit gives you cancer. The girls in these shows were not nearly as hot as the strippers on the ground floor, as to be expected. It was an experience but weird.
Bangkok is sick. Khao San Road is what you'd expect if you've seen the first five minutes of the beach. The street food is fucking awesome, so was the one restaurant meal I had. I haven't eaten fried bugs yet but I promise, I will. Since I came with only one bag of clothes and they're all dirty now, I just buy new clothes each day (except pants/shorts) bc theyre so cheap. Have spent a good deal of time by the pool on the roof of the hotel, good place to meet people to go out with at night.
Also did a wrestling and BJJ class here. Was good to get a workout, but I was hoping for a hardcore class full of thais, and it was all expats, only one blue belts... everyone else was white or "green" which is apparently between white and blue. Despite being in the middle of a 3 week bender I was able to run the room. But whatever, prob gonna go in tomorrow AM before I fly to Koh Phangan
Full moon party in 4 days. I'm honestly scared.
