Jenny and Albert come to Town
28.08.2004
Had my first visitor. Albert and Jenny stopped over from Tokyo before heading back to the states. HOW FUCKIN’ COOL IS THAT. It was great to see my old Bergen Catholic HS buddy. It’s the kind of friends like that that really make you look back on your life with amazement. The kind of friends who you’ll have forever – no matter what. Love that. A couple days and we did some usual sightseeing – which was great because I really haven’t had a chance to see much of the city.
Our first stop was Kongbuk Palace (new Sam-Chung-Dong, the place i think is so cool – like the village)
/ Me + Albert at the Great Hall
/ Voodoo Sticks – Like the Brady Bunch Tikis
THEN, we hit Gimme Five. Now this place is one of those entertainment theme restaurants where you sit, drink, talk all in the midst of a Mixed Martial Arts fight. That’s right – kickboxing, akito and a host of other fighting styles that allow two men to beat the crab out of each other while you ring up another gin + juice. PLUS, they’ve got showgirls affectionately known as Gimme Girls, who prance around in the latest fashions or dance ringside inbetween rounds.
Not that all this wasn’t odd enough (though still a grand time) but because it’s Asia, their’s a twist. Another show with exotic dancers, each one as pretty as the next. They sing, they dance, the joke… They even take pictures with the crowd (check me out:). The thing that many of you may not realize is that THESE ARE MEN from Thailand. Yes, transvestites and I must admit, for the most part – they are pretty good looking and at first glance, you’d never know their little secret. Crazy place I tell you!
