Lazy Days and Cabarets

If last week was the “get to know the real Thailand/working hard week” then this week is going to be the “laze around all day” week. Today we slept in late, got up, went to Subway for lunch, came back, watched TV, went to the movies, ate dinner, went drinking and slept – it was great!

The movie theatres in Thailand are so cheap. It worked out half the price we pay in Japan and that was after we bought the most expensive ticket; not just two seats but an entire sofa to ourselves. I also like the way they play the national anthem before each movie and everyone stands to respect the King. They really love the King out here and whenever you speak to anyone they always refer to him as my King. – so nice.

Another fantastic part of the day was going to see my first lady-boy cabaret show. I honestly had no idea what to expect and I was blown away. Not only do these guys actually look like women but they have made lip-syncing a real art. Since this bar is literally a 30 second stroll from my hotel room, I suspect I will be seeing a lot more of these guys, I mean girls, I mean…..oh whatever!
