Going west

Tomorrow i will fly to Bangkok. I won't be alone (this time) as i go with my boyfriend, first holyday together, and also a bunch of friends.

All of them are newbies to Bangkok thus i will have to be the tour guide... too bad i failed to contact the hotel. Well, i will do as usual, i will try the hotels i know, there will be free rooms for sure...somewhere.

As i don't go alone, especially concerning my bf, and i'm a bit more confident about gayness: i will go to the dark alleys full of PLU (people like us) as Silom Farang call us.

I'm sure to go to nice places like telephone or dick's cafe, i hope we'll dare to go to place like DJ-station and unprobably to some gay gogobars. It's not that we will want to do some i still consider quite immoral but as i did girls gogo sightseeing i am vry curious about boys ones! Evidently i will have to go to straight only places with my friends though i may be able them to tapas which is at the enter of a gay soi (if i remember correctly)... so maybe get them to there... would be fun to see that.

Actually, i already went to one these bars but it was an accident. I met a farang and a thai friends at the sala daeng bts and after enough we decided to get a drink and went straight into the nearest soi. 10 sec after seating the thai went red and after 1 min we guessed where we were ("voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir" song). Fortunately it was not even 6pm so it was still cool.

Have a nice week-end, i guess we will have one!

Ladyboy coming to Ha Noi?

I recently discovered this info on a straight, kinda homophobic (that's why i won't link him) blog. Despite some disagreements with him i have to admit that i share some of this comment. The decree is about malformation only but when was the last decree applied 100% correctly?

I have no idea but i think it was a long time ago. So, will Viet Nam became a new "ladyboy land"? I really doubt so, the culture is much less tolerant than Thailand but who knows? It can be a profitable business.

Indeed i think medical tourism is about to beginning here. A few months ago i decided to do lasik surgery for my crappy eyes. I did find easily a clinic to do so for 12m VND (a bit less 600€ at that time) for both eyes. Unfortunately they did had the latest machinery (it was second hand from 2005) and could not guarantee a perfect vision and so i decided to go Bangkok. Though in a few years (or less) they will have the money to have the latest machinery and come in the great medical business... i just hope their doctors are good enough...

Ha Noi massage

I was reading an article from a newspaper (of 2007) and it starts like this : 

Massages and spas are considered great ways to relax and improve physical as well as mental being. Hanoi is famous for its traditional massage streets in which the profession has been passed from generation to generation like Le Duan, Quan Thanh, or Cua Nam, not to mention excellent message centres at the Institute of Tradition Medicine, and the Institute of Acupuncture. At present, many massage shops are also popping up to meet an increasing public demand. 

Please, let me laugh!
As far as i know (which is not much i am aware of it) Ha Noi or Viet Nam as no big tradition of massage in contrary to thailand. Plus, i have to admit i have been to this "Institute of Tradition Medicine". The first time it was a boy and it was a normal very so-so massage. I went back there a few times even with female friends and every time the female massager offered "massage number one" (too bad the boy didn't).

The second part speaks the truth stating that almost every massage shop offers this "number one massage". Actually i'm a bit surprised as i know pinky and clumsy places are for that but i thought the decent place places like (big) hotels and high class massage had no "bonux" but it seems to be rare. I may be quite lucky to have found a nice place not too expensive (200.000vnd / hour) though i still miss thailand massage (maybe next time i should try their famous boy massage? 0:) )

edit: about boy massage, according to utopia forum it seems there are more than a few boyz massage but be warned: scam seems to happen very often! Anyway, remember one thing: it is not a gay-friendly country.

Coming out in Ha Noi

It seems comingout is possible in Vietnam finally. Though, don't be so happy about it  because you can stay alive but probably not socially!

Anyway, the subject of today is the coming out of 41 years man from Hanoi whom published a book of his story with journalists.

My source: NoodlePie 
The original AFP news

I talked a bit about with my bf before that and in his opinion it's absolutely not possible to come out to his family or friends... in fact he so impressed when i told him that finally i did my CO to my family by phone recently (and not much impresssions since that...). 

It's funny because i think i will be possible for him to stay officially single and pratically gay as long as he can cope with social pressure and not say anything about men. As soon as he would come out to his aquaintances he will be socially doom even if they had gessed/kenw it before.


"Asian ways" i guess.

Back?

Well, not yet.


I just wanted let my numerous fans know another (much nicer) gay blog in asia: gayboythailand which is obviously more funny. It may be due to the frequent sexy but not kinky pictures of sweet asian boyz... Enjoy!

edit: i forget a funny news... my sissy housemate is actually gay \o/ but dislikes me... "Damn qua"!
