Last night was Tiger (2), Ganzberg (3) and a 300 ml nightcap of some crazy good home-brewed soju steeped with Hibiscus, papaya, mango, apple, pineapple, raisins, passion fruit, and dragon fruit. Just what the doctor ordered. Zzzzzzzz

Was that before, during, or after you pulled a parasite out of your eye?

Can we help change those expectations by bringing up a few topics on sexpats and bars in st 136.

Spoiler:

Just trying to help.

The whole charm of the Pig Penh is its low rise colonial buildings,with wide open boulevards and (some) green spaces it will be lost forever?

I think it has been proven that Jakarta and Bangkok have the worst traffic in the world (and I'd agree strongly, with Jakarta being slightly worse than Bangkok), and it takes massive time through multiple toll roads just to go a few km, so I think those cities relative to traffic in Southeast Asia (or even a city like São Paulo which has horrendously awful traffic) are lightweight in comparison.

Are any of these cities truly faceless though? Jakarta is filthy and chaotic but has a lot of charm (as would most of . Manila is actually not just Makati and is way more than Quezon City.

Not to worry, as that description still fits virtually all provincial capitals!
