Asia

(sorry about the picture it isn't the best of quality I'll have newer, better placed pictures later on)

The nights here are hotter then the hottest Portuguese summer day. The people here have a perverse mentality which leads them to believe that foreigners have allot of money. Well its true most foreigners do have a bit of money, but its unlikely that they'd want to part with it.

How would you feel if they block your car while your trying to get to a place to sleep, like 10 of them, half naked, standing in the middle of the road shaking their cut-in-half water bottles with the few coins they contain. Would you feel obliged to toss a few cents of yours to them? I'd feel about the same as I do when I see a pigeon or some other type of bird pecking at the floor under my feet, I'd place two options in my head.

1. Throw them some scrap.

2. Shoo them away.

I'd weigh these to options against each other and choose, my choice of course will be influenced by things such as..the beggar/birds face, his attitude, the way he walks, the color of his clothes/feathers and of course I'd choose correctly. Unless my judgment is fazed by the constant mood-swings. The most likely scenario is me jumping out and kicking him.

Despite the legendary geysers, aquatic blue seas, white-sand beaches, golden sunsets, gorgeous sluts, volcanoes, and coconut trees this place gets on my nerves twenty-four/seven. When I see a jeep with a extra meter of space rudely nailed onto the rear, painted gay colors, filled with degenerated yellow people of all sizes squeezed together like sardines in a can, it really pisses me off. When I see short gray-haired women the that only measure up to my waist, bending over cleaning the street with a faggot, I get pissed..When I see 3 story busses the size of ping-pong tables, painted a ugly reddish/pink, filled with happy tourists and chattering disabled retards, I get pissed. But I [optimistic as I am] look over all these things and I fail to miss the country I was previously in, Portugal. Why is that? I honestly am not sure yet, but maybe because the mentality of the average Portuguese is strikingly similar to the physical, sociological, and economical state of south-eastern Asia.

I am still struggling with a nicotine addiction.
