I'm just not ready to calm down my adventurous lifestyle and stay at one place so I'm taking my girl and making a huge journey to Thailand! I'm convinced that after I spend enough time there, my exploration days will be satisfied enough for me to calm down my life and settle somewhere.
I just can't bring myself to get a permanent, good-paying job and start attending school again until I have a little more adventure behind my belt. I mean, this is the prime time of my life, so I should spend it doing things that are going to be nearly impossible for me to do when I'm older and seemingly stuck in whatever situation I fall into.
Thailand comes off to me as the ideal place for a voyage. It has that touch of danger I feel I crave so badly. I feel it is the type of place that will force me far away from any city activities. From what I've seen, it's also a beautiful place and perhaps easy enough for me to survive within for a couple months.
My girlfriend wants to go, but I don't feel she's going to be able to handle what I attend to do there. I think she looks at it like some sort of a nice trip with hotels, restaurant meals, and clean bath water. It would be nice to have the company and I do think it would be an excellent experience for anyone but I'd hate to drag her into something she's not mentally or physically prepared for.
Anyway, I'm pretty serious about this and I plan to leave ASAP. I'm thinking the start of next month. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts.
I'm calling Rambo and we're going to save the slave children!
:cookie: and this guy would rape Rambo-

If you really want a touch of danger, why not go somewhere such as Azerbaijan or Georgia?
Oh man, if I go right now, I'm going to miss The Dark Knight in theaters. What a demotivator.
See the midnight showing and leave the next morning.
Dude, that sounds fun as hell. Watch out for those trannies, though. They do wonders with the surgeries over there.
[quote=Dexter;857425]It has that touch of danger I feel I crave so badly.
...Danger?
Swedes go over there on vacation all the time.
And we left the viking spirit back in 11th century.
WE WOULDN'T DARE BRING OUR KIDS HAD THERE BEEN ANY DANGER, LUL.
Except the tsunami in 2004, it doesn't count.
Yeah, aside from the possibility of getting a Tsunami on your ***, I wouldn't really say Thailand has any "touch of danger"..
If you want a touch of danger you should go to Turkey, and like, steal some apples.
We don't want the fella' to lose a hand, Xile. :(
They might be nice and be content with a finger or two. :)
Or it might be worse...
Perhaps the world just doesn't like Americans. \(O-o)/
..Yeah, well, when I go on vacation I don't really look to get shot, so I stay the hell away from drug fields and I haven't been to Burma lately.
Some places love Americans. When I was in Tokyo they giggled and huggled me a little too much at times. I felt like Orlando Bloom at a cosplay convention.
[quote=Dexter;858033]Also, it isn't as pretty there.
...No?
[quote] Perhaps the world just doesn't like Americans. \(O-o)/
There might be a slight chance, yeah.
Hope you know what your doing dex.
I don't think I ever truly know what I'm getting myself into, but it virtually always seems to work in my benefit. Maybe I'll just continue testing the waters until something exceptionally dreadful happens to me, which will force me to calm my life down and normalfy myself. Also, I'm taking my beautiful girl to what I feel will be my current paradise, so how can I go wrong? Wait...
lolary. I'd watch it.
[quote=Dexter]...I'd hate to drag her into something she's not mentally or physically prepared for.
Replace "Thailand" with the word "Delaware," and you have something no one is mentally or physically prepared for.
Having said that, what age do you treat your girlfriend as? Six? I'm sure that she is a mature and grown enough woman to be able to have a little mental and physical abilities to comprehend opportunities that are within Thailand. Unless it involves activities that don't involve her, why would it be an issue and why wouldn't she be okay with it?
From the sounds of it, Dexter wants to try to go chum it up with some communist revolutionaries/drug cartels/sex slaves. And he doesn't even speak Thai. What he is trying to say is that someone not "mentally prepared" to deal with frollicking in a warehouse full of opium might have objections to what clearly would be an idea most charitably described as "insane". Those not "physically prepared" to parkour away from armored military vehicles may find themselves in a slight bit of pain as 50 caliber rounds perferate their paper thin flesh, and they will lack the stamina necessary for chain-****ing transexual prostitutes.
Makes perfect sense, right?
Yeah, I mean seriously. It's not that I treat her like a child, it's just that I'm already worried about her preparedness and understanding of this trip, so imagine how much I'll probably stress out once we're there and I see how difficult it is for her to handle? This'll be difficult for most people to handle, even me. I'll be seperated from my family for a long time and I'm sure there's going to be trouble with communication, I know she's going to struggle and not want to do some of the adventures I have planned. Although at the same time this is going to be a really romantic trip so maybe she'll get excited enough to venture fourth anywhere I roam. She seems to enjoy my spontaneous, adventurous lifestyle. I suppose I'll learn a lot about her on this trip.
Anyway, we leave in about 4 days. We're getting everything ready this weekend. I'm starting to get a bit nervous, actually.
being rich must be nice.
hey i got a t-shirt off ebay a few months ago
there was an elephant on the stamp
send your sister to milwaukee
ok so im in japan now with some strange keyboard that keeps doing mean things to me. i can barely read this thing.
we havent even made it to thailand yet. we were in singapore for like a month and we got here a few days ago and now it looks like we might stay here for a few weeks before we make our way to thailand.
we shopped all day and there were so many items i would have liked to buy but theres no way im dragging all that extra clutter around with me. we ate at this place where they dressed up cutely, kinda like a cosplaying place. ill post pictures when i actually get back on my own computer.
anyway, thats my update. wish us luck with the rest of the trip. we are not even halfway done yet. im not gonna lie either. im really homesick. times been going by so fast and ive seen all sorts of great things but i suppose im not very easily impressed anymore or something. the world is running out of things to entertain me with.
I have a friend who's out building schools in Thailand. Tell him I said hi!
I'm envious of dex's extravagant lifestyle.
piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiics
I was kinda impressed today. At least I felt something. Some sadness, felt some beauty and ugliness, enjoyed Japanese culture, etc.
We went to Nagasaki and I touched Ground Zero, where the atomic bomb landed. We also went to the famous Zen temple, Oura Cathedral, Kofuku Temple, Sofuku Temple, Suwa Shrine, and China Town for food! All in one day, and I think we have a few more spots to hit tomorrow while we are still here.
This computer has a spot for me to upload my cable for pictures so I will try to get some up soon. Maybe even tonight if I find time. idk how romantic the lady feels. I`ll let you know...
You have cancer now.
I want to see how pretty she is.
and you have cancer

Isn't she cute! ^_^
Of course I'm kidding.
Here she really is.

She's crazy. Super cramps, perplexing, spontaneous hyperness, and must read every item of history on anything we pass. Seriously, museums take hours with her. And those Asian superstitions that were once upon a time so interesting and adorable can get so silly and annoyingly scary sometimes. "Dex, we need to put the mirror on top of the bed to reflect good fortune on our children." I should run like Lola but I'm enjoying the pace dangerously too much.
Here are some images real fast...

lol'd pretty hard at the first picture, buddy. Anyways, looks like a fun time. Envious!
child sex tourism
(didn't read the thread)
Are the monkeys in the third picture fenced off? Or are you in there with them? holy mother of ****
Sounds like something Dex would do.
That monkey has the same bored expression that you do in the picture above it.
You look EXACTLY like someone I know, except taller and slimmer. But there's an exact resemblance in the face.
**** DEX WANNA SMILE, ****
