"Whatever keeps my skin the purest white" is the slogan of the wealthy woman in Thailand. Luxurious lily whiteness much like the Mom in "Little House on the Prairie" preaches is still all the rage. I suppose with most of the population living in the country side, working manual jobs and with urbanization a relatively new phenomena, whiteness is power, whiteness is luxury, whiteness means you have AC. I am searching the pharmacies in vain for some face cream that does not also have a bleaching agent. People, why do you think I sit and suffer in the scorching sun for? Maybe I should be grateful for the reminder that a leather face is not attractive ever. So given our next permanent residency's proximity to the equator, maybe I should lap up the spf 50+.
As you can tell, our hard core travel has ended and now we are on vacation. We sleep till noon, we plan lunch while we eat breakfast, we shop for fake Rolexes, we nap, we drink, we observe big white guys getting it on with petite Thai girls. We rest a lot. And we are not the only ones.
Sleeping unashamedly in public is a very sanctioned activity in general. This includes sleeping on your desk at work even while visible through the all glass store front from the street, it includes sleeping in a brand new Mercedes in the show room, even if visible from the street, it includes sleeping on the sidewalk on top of all your "same, same, but different" t-shirts you are trying to sell. Sleeping is always ok. As long as it is in the shade. See above.
The city of angels has once again created a wholesomely happy existence for us with none of the perversions and skankiness that we had hoped for readily coming our way. So, thank you Defender74RAB for your creepy request via flickr which I'll ignore but only after sharing it with the world. Watch yo'self:
