No, I'm not a pedofile (yes, a perv) - just showing how poor many people are - this pic is like 4:00 am and we were going home from a club and this little girl was selling glow sticks - I said how much and she said 50 baht - I gave her 500 baht and told her I don't want change - she went nutz - hugging me - I'm wasted with half a bottle of visine in my eyes
It's sounds to me that the Government is hitting the Red shirts full force (shooting everything in site) in an effort to make their (Red Shirt) leaders throw in the towel and it would seem it's working; BUTTTTTTTTT, you now have renegade Red shirts with no leadership causing as mush destruction and mayhem as possible. This where it starts to get scary. They are setting random building on fire all over the place, not just Bangkok.
If that's how you feel, then feel free to leave....this country is one of the most beautiful and peaceful on the planet...
The media said everything is over as of this morning...Pattaya Beach is open again and will be interesting following the politics of this peaceful country for the next several weeks until the elections in November...

Thai women love those gaudy t-shirts swith Dolce & Gabbana on them and things like Roxy Gurl. If you want to see the women go crazy buy about 10 t-shirts for 1000 baht (about $35) and give them out. It's hilarious to see their eyes get real big.

Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- Some Bangkok residents ventured out on Thursday to shop and take stock of the damage done to their city one day after the government evicted thousands of anti-government protesters from a downtown district, triggering fires, riots and intense street battles.
Some shoppers at the Emporium mall -- which was not set on fire like the popular Central World mall -- drank lattes, got their hair styled or perused books. But one sign reminded them that the venue would close at 6 p.m. to leave enough time for patrons to get home ahead of a second night of a citywide curfew.
"I feel very upset. I can't believe this happened in Thailand. Killing is not acceptable in Buddhism," said Siripattra Sitisak, a 30-year-old hotelier. "I'm nervous about attacks from underground organizations that might bomb other buildings or set fire to them."

Another mall patron, Bogna Szukalska, a 25-year-old from Poland, who has lived in Bangkok for four years, said Wednesday's events showed the "face of Thailand is changing."
"When I first came here as a tourist it was to have a relaxed and good time in a safe country. It was rare to see any aggression between Thais or against foreigners," she said. "Now, I'm just very shocked. I and two of my other friends are thinking of leaving the country. It's not the Thailand we know anymore."

Havana is a beautiful city and you can tell it was the hot spot back in the 40's and 50's according to my relatives...was there 2 years ago with Judge Wapner and we had a blast...beautiful beaches and really beautiful women...
No billboards or advertising...nice baseball stadium....the vintage cars on the road are a must see and the markets are a place to go...
Well, I have a friend that's been there 30 + times and he swears by it - first, it's a place to see - it is straight up communist - taxi drivers make more than doctors - and there are clubs and girls out the ass - I'm defininately going - one problem is my spanish suck and no one will speak English there due to the Castro regime
Well, I told most people (girls) I was going to Japan to play golf - but I told the girl I liked I was going to Bandon Dunes in Oregon (I have been just in case she asked any questions) - she does not live in Miami - we basically talk via bbm (not text and very little phone) - so I went to Verizon and they guaranteed me that any bbm I sent would come up with just my screen name and no number and no international digits - just like in the US - I would get bbm's from her say good morning and I was having a drink getting ready to go out for the night - of course, she's since broken up with me and I really do miss her - I'm not sure she knows were I was - I would post a pic of her but I just don't want to be reminded of her but she's really nicely looking and was on a show on MTV a few years ago - I'm sure you're laughing but I really miss seeing her
Bandon Dunes is the nicest golfing facility in the US when you throw in Trails, and Pacific and Bandon - plus, I heard they built more - the only golf I ever played like that was Ireland which is nicer but not by a lot - major drawback is the fucking wind - it's almost unbearable - and it's too cold - even in the summer - but is is majestic no doubts and Pacific Dunes is a nice as anything anywhere
