(since this went over so well last time)

vucking vish was kind enough to offer to send me the $23 i was begging for yesterday, but he has just found out he cant do transfers on partypoker

i have a lil money on stars so dont need it there, plus partypoker has just been activated and i can play whenever, so if anyone would be willing to loan me whatever small amount they are willing to part with for a few days it would be very much appreciated, good karma for you, and i will repay the instant i either ship a tourney or get the whole funding of the sites thing worked out

If I hear Hiiiii sirrrrrrrr one more time I'm gonna go bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!

I'm sure if this is just cus im from the uk but all this alleged perfect english speaking pisses me off more than the (well i dont really encounter it) language barrier in Thailand. It seems so fake, just like how we joke about Americans saying, 'have a nice day' with a big cheesy smile. Imo they appear to speak English but really they dont, Ok they do, but to me it takes away the charm and cuteness you get when chatting with a thai chick with little to no english. they might look cute but when they start yakking, all im thinking is shut the **** up! Because their English is so good you see what utter dimwits they are, least with thai dimwits they appear cute and endearing.

bad day in Makati sir? MR BRAKER. TODAY MY NAME IS MR. BRAKER!

It may be ok for your fisrt few days in a brand new country. After 6 months uugghhh. And of course thats great for you K2 but after living in Walking St. for 13+years fields ave to me, is like you smoking worst bog weed ever, it just dont cut it.

I mean its cool and all but when you are having a bad day and trying to get things sorted out, hearing hiiii sirrr and sorry sirrrrrr can put you in a bad mood.

To be honest I feel sorry for these people more so I think than any other country I have been to. I just think their English is not that good and does not make the place any more desirable at all.

im relatively certain i could never get sick of it, i didnt like actually going in the bars on fields, just roaming the streets talkin to the girls on the outside

their english isnt perfect but its far better than what i encountered in my 1 day in thailand (people at airport cant answer where is bathroom, people on BTS cant answer similar simple questions they had to get all the time) and in cambodia where i walk into hotels and ask whats your monthly rate and they go find the kid under 10 to translate for them

had very few communication issues in PI

plus i love being with a girl and getting to that point where she cant figure out how to say something or says "what that" find that stuff cute as can be

then again ive been tellin yall for months i got flip fever

WOW!! 13+ years???

I can't imagine wanting to spend more then a few days - weeks living on Walking St. in Pattaya.

How did you stand it?

Sure the girls are great, but I couldn't stand being surrounded by all those scuzy sex pats morning noon and night. Even if to some extent I was one myself, it's one of those Groucho Marx 'I wouldn't want to belong to any group that would have someone like me for a member' moments.

Well i didn't actually live in WS itself for 13+years, I have lived in patts that long and spent most of that time partying in WS, I have had times where ive WS everyday for 3-months.

My point is, WS is an animal and fields doesn't even being to compare, it would be a small boring soi just off ws at best.

lol at safety and cleanliness imo. In regards to WS not Pattaya as a whole.

K2 you should really reserve judgment until you see and experience things for yourself (not just about WS but any and everything).

i dont think you understood my post poots, i said im sure even without going there that patts is cleaner, safer, has better hotels, better food, and other stuff i cant imagine are better about the place than AC, im sure it would win in every way but 1

but that 1 outweighs all the rest
