As far as awkwardness goes, I am a past master. Her ex works at the same school as she does and for each of the 4

years that I went to BKK, she would have day-long meetings and preparation for the next term. I went along with her

and so did he and he showed me great respect although everyone knew I was boinking his ex. Because of his civil

behavior and even friendship towards me, nobody batted an eyelash and that stopped a lot of the gossip because

everything was out in the open. On my first trip to Thailand, I met her ex and her son the morning after my first night there.

Ain't it nice when family cooperates, unlike in the States?

How the hell did I miss that place?!!! :blush:

Love the fact that there's an Aggie flag hanging from the ceiling! :D

Gig 'Em Aggies!!! :thumbs:

PS - Love the obligitory boobies down in front!!! :devil:

The bar that's next to the Texas bar in Washington Square has some very eye opening experiences available. Check it out if you are ever in the area. We just returned to Texas, from Thailand, and I'm suprisingly missing Bangkok's weather ..... it's crazy hot here in Texas this summer.

Welcome home DVD, though if you're like me... you'd rather not have come back! :(

How was the trip/vacation?

Sadly, we're back.

It looks like it has been 100+ degrees for 50+ days this summer in Austin, TX. Ouch! Bangkok's weather was in the high 80's to low 90's.

We traveled around quite a bit on this trip. Mae Sai, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Phetchabun, Chaiyapum, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Koh Toa, and Phuket. Wife's family up North, East, and South. I have friends that live in Bangkok and Phuket.

The number of tourists, everywhere we went, seemed to be wayyyyy down and the prices that we were paying for things seemed a little higher than the last time we'd been in Thailand.

Oh, and there was substantially more neon on Soi Cowboy than a couple of years ago! Other than that, everything seemed to be about the same.

Still plan to retire in Thailand.
