I've travelled through Central and and South America and had a great time. I went to Belize and drank with the locals at the casino. I wouldn't exactly advise going out in the city, but I enjoyed myself. I spent quite a bit of time in Mombasa - it's a beautiful place and I liked the people, but I was there during the 2013-2014 political turmoil when local Islamist clerics were being assassinated and the city erupted into violence frequently. I witnessed the riots, roadblocks, and arson attacks - but it was all in good fun. Tanzania was amazing. I spent a few months there and had a great experience. The only time I've ever lost my wallet was in a rural part of Tanzania, and the locals returned it to me with all of the money left inside.
I've been to around thirty countries, and Thailand is by far the biggest shithole I've ever had the misfortune of visiting. 'It's Disneyland for adults' they said. Baloney! It's Disneyland for fucking idiots. Spending a few months in Thailand made me reconsider my views on nuclear weapons. It's basically the physical embodiment of Getbig: a place for some of the biggest losers and social outcasts on Earth to congregate and live out a fantasy. A sweltering, neon hell where lost souls pay for the privilege of feigned affection, and the locals hover like hyenas waiting to strip you of every last penny you own. The only people stupid enough to fall for the facade are bodybuilders and starry-eyed students with their romanticised notions of achieving spiritual development through riding on the back of an elephant suffering from PTSD. Naturally, every man introducing himself to you in a bar happens to be a mercenary or millionaire - they're just
disguised as a fat, middle-aged divorcee with strabismus and a fucked hip; and the bumbag strapped around their gut isn't
really a bumbag containing their inhalor, antiretroviral meds and prostitute money: it's
actually a customised holster containing their Walther PPK and 'combat cash' in case they have to make a break for the border and lay low for a while.
