My 21st in Bangkok

So we celebrated my birthday in style, starting at the bowling alley at MBK shopping mall in Bangkok. We bowled out a few games, Jarrad won the first one and I won the second.
We then went to the Thai version of Gold Class cinema and watched the new transformers movie, which was pretty impressive, had a few more drinks, did some shopping, purchased a new pair of shoes (bright orange) and a pair of thongs.
by this time night was about to fall, so we grabbed some Japanese food for dinner, had a few beers and went down to Khao San Road, one of the entertainment districts in the city, this one is particularly frequented by backpackers.
We walked down the street til we found a bar, sat down, ordered beers with Jarrad and Gussie, had a round of shots, which quickly became a few rounds of shots, moved on to another bar, started chatting to three Scottish girls, who were sitting on the table next to our own, invited them over, went to a club for a short time, wandered about and someone suggested we go to a ping pong show.
I kinda had a fair idea of what I was going to see, but nothing can really prepare you. I wont go into details, but because it was my birthday, I was asked up on stage, asked to pull things, hold things etc…. basically I was in the thick of the action.
We said our goodbyes to our Scottish friends, who had to be at the bus station a few hours later, and we went home.
It was very special to spend the night with such good friends in Jarrad and Gussie.

Today, getting out of bed was really tough, didn’t happen til about 2:00pm, I went and got myself a new thai haircut, which was a bit of an experience, as the hairdresser didn’t understand any English. Turned out to be the best haircut I have ever had.
This was follower by a late lunch, early dinner at the local Pizza place, which was so filling I couldn’t eat it all. It started to spit rain on our way back to the hostel, and then BANG, its probably one of the heaviest downpours of rain I have seen coupled with the loudest most violent thunderstorm.
Looking like a good night to be spent inside, next to the warming glow of my Laptop.
