my pictures!!

let me say this.. I was gone for two weeks. one week in Hong Kong, China and one week in Bangkok, Thailand.
While I was gone, I also went to Lop Buri Thailand and Macau China.
I think that I liked both places for different reasons. I think that Thailand is way more fun and has great food and Hong Kong is a great city to photograph.
Anyway, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves about HK and below…
Thailand fun facts;
1. There are approximately 12 garbage bins in all of thailand.
2. The entire joint is run 100 % by children. I mean I sincerely saw a 14 year old driving a fucking train while on my way north.
3. If provoked, monkeys will jump on your head while their brother monkeys will steal your “borrowed” scooter keys.
4. It is possible to ask a random stranger in thailand where to rent scooters and they will “find” you three scooters to “rent” from random people on the street.
5. Thailand is officially sponsored by Pepsi. This includes ruins and temples.
6. It is possible to purchase any food on a stick and any liquid in a bag on the street.
7. Part of the direction giving strategy in thailand is to find someone who knows less than you do and passing off the tourist to them.
8. Haggling over 50 cents has never been so much fun.
9. Thai coffee = like a handjob in a cup. A very inexpensive handjob.
10. Thailand “the worlds leader of white people with bad dreadlocks”\
11. Best chance to see your uncle picking up a thai hooker.
12. I think thailand might be the cheapest place in the world. Top ten at very least.
