to spiv - want to thank you for all of your contributions to thailand and other asia threads... saw your join date of 10+ years ago and figure you're prob older and have been in thai forever - honestly I would hate songkran too at that point especially assuming what it probably used to be and that its turned into a ****show the majority of the time. 2 days of being soaked for 12+ hours and I got sick as well and couldn't even make day 3. anyways its all in fun, editing thailand recap video now and some people I will smash with water and they get shocked, mad for a second, then start laughing maniacally and coming at me trying to get me back.

its only the angles you question... not the whole she was a mortal virgin, child of earth and ocean with 2 immortal sisters, who got raped which turned her hair into snakes. went to africa, shook her head, and now thats why there's poisonous animals there? physics work out fine on all that I suppose

i don't knowwwwwwww. I spend like 2 hours every day debating wtf im gonna do. medellin maybe. periera just started construction on a mega skatepark, and I love costena people. 'Good months' in Lima are also amazing, I'm really happy there - plus think I need another month of ayahuasca, as I really didn't finish the process. Then there's more of argie I wanna explore, want to do ski season in bariloche, and also LAPT finals in brazil this year and I'm thinking about going and staying for a year+ and learning portuguese. haha and those are just some of my main latin options. In Asia I still wanna check out vietnam, taiwan, phils, indo, and possible ski season japan. bleh. PDC sounds cool, lots of friends there - just feel like I would get stuck in poker player party grind life.

oooo possibly, I play on like 5 skins but lately they've been really bad about not approving any of my docs, so cutting down a lot of ipoker volume. 100nl is pretty damn reggy there anyways would you say?
To finish off thailand -
I'll never get over how weird and foreign the food is there, everywhere you go. Whether its brightly colored whatever, balls of everything, anything you want on a stick, overwhelming smells of giant street food markets, crazy food is just so in your face there.
squid is def my new favorite go-to. I've had it plenty before but it's just all over here. Cooked it from fresh squid form for the first time last night as well. Weird little things, no omega's but I guess it is one of the healthier seafood options assuming you don't fry it, like as shown here at chatuchak weekend market:
also these crazy little candy tacos everywhere, from big like this to little bite-size minis:
Did a small skate competition while in bkk, got 3rd. meh. Honestly I skated super well and should have gotten 2nd, the other dudes were better than me to be fair but fell a lot. Was fun day, main event was a flowboard contest and saw a bunch of rippers. got drunk and made a bunch of local skater friends
Most of my scuba pics/video came out poorly...guess you need a red filter to shoot underwater, oh well. Basically saw tonnnns of schools of different fish. Sometimes they'd bite me super hard, kinda scary. Saw 5 baby reef sharks, octopus, rad coral obv, tons of barracuda and giant schools of needlefish. Only did 2 scuba dives as my ears got worked and also fins rubbed my feet raw - but did a ton of snorkeling which was fine since it's very shallow reef in a ton of spots.
Rented a room on the beach with gf in koh tao for 5 days, was nice. View from bedroom window:
great girl, although as she says she kinda holds me back a bit. Tried teaching her how to swim, snorkel, hike, ride moto, etc. Don't think I'll go back to try and make anything big happen with her.
reminds me of this song
me and girl at 'love viewpoint', really dope views. yea she's bigger, super thick legs. twatever, I like it like dattttt. top 3 blowies lifetime and sweet girl.
Alright so I'm in Cambodia now. This place is craaaazy. Was gonna head to vietnam but its some holiday and visa was gonna take 5+ days to sort, so just found an apartment here which was super easy. Paying too much ($650) but love the neighborhood, that was really final factor. Also don't have to do dishes as maids come every other day and clean everything. Also have a nice pool and would like to start swimming. hot as hell here.
So I get around everywhere by just skating and holding onto tuk-tuks or motorcycles. It's really funny how blown away people are. Maybe just such a poor country and they don't see skaters, but I get old men that stop what they're doing to point and yell at me, every tuktuk driver just thinks its hilarious, some guy today pulls out his cell phone while on a motorcycle behind me and takes pictures for like 3 minutes straight. Little dirty kids on the street selling candy always put down their crap and come to steal my board and ride around on their knees, stomach, feet. Hookers outside call all their friends out and I hold their hands while they roll around in their high-heels. It's so strange, as I've been in a ton of 3rd world but nothing where a skateboard is so foreign. Def wanna start getting some pics of that stuff. Really nice because traffic here is fuuuuucked so I'm literally faster on a skateboard since I just weave up to the front, cross the redlight between cars, and grab on to the next tuktuk.
Everyone speaks english it seems, although its really bad english. Tilt smashed a mouse because it was taking like 5 clicks to get through, bought a new one for $5 and handed her 5, she's like "okkkk, 4 dollars good". haha, thanks lady. They use USD here which is weird, and then small change is in 4000 to 1 Cambodian riel, which is basically as valueable as argentinian pesos.
Super dirty here, honestly it's like the tijuana, tegucigalpa, or managua of asia. All-you-can-eat buffet next door to me for 2.50 lunch, 5 dinner. Ate 7 plates last night and wonder if I'm gonna get banned. Staff just kinda laughs at me when they see me go back for more. Very good mix of western + Khmer food.
Where I say I'm from - Long Beach, California... has the highest population of Cambodians outside of Cambodia since the genocide, in which 25% of the people where killed. Many fled to Long Beach as it was one of the first port cities they came to in the US, so I used to skate and party with a tonnnnn of cambodians every night for years. Kinda cool because I tell people where I'm from and they're like 'yeaaaa I got family there!!'
So a lot of grinding ahead for me. Don't think I'm going to get a girlfriend here, which is kind of a shame since girls are dark and a bit funny looking - just my style, lol. I might tinder it up in a couple days when I'm already over it with the poker grind.
