1. Found an elephant.... I'm serious. After venturing out to the Korean Embassey to drop off my work visa application, we went snooping around and found two elephants chained up!
2. Shopping, shopping, shopping... Discovered almost nothing in Thailand has a set price but EVERYTHING has a price -- taxis, food, shops,.... even the women.
3. Thailand is definitely the land of motorcycles!!! They even have motorcycle taxis!
4. Discovered the tutto taxi... It's a motorcycle that has a booth built over it. So cool!
5. Went to Wonder Woman's meeting with ECC and talked on her behalf about why they should encourage their graduates to teach in Korea. Good call Wonder Woman... I'm Korea's number 1 fan!
6. Walked down the market that bordered the red light district and shouted "I love Korean men!" It was rather amusing and quite effective too because it stopped all those pestering men from trying to force me to come into the "shops".
7. Amused Wonder Woman with my creative use of the Korean language. I must admit, it was funny despite the mean things I was saying (they were clueless though).
8. Treated myself to a TWO HOUR traditional Thai message that cost me less than a meal at TGIF! It was beautiful but I found it rather ticklish and the guy cracked almost every bone in my little Polish body! My messager was a young guy about my age and so that was kind of different but he knew "no funny message!"
9. Hit a club called "Hollywood". Turns out it's not quite the dance club we were expecting. Instead it was numerous half naked girls on stand dancing with lots of people standing around at tables watching. Needless to say it was uncomfortable and I thought I was going to loose it if another grease-monkey approached me. Thankfully it was a short visit.
10. Left that cheesy greasy Hollywook club feeling totally disturbed and definitely homesick. Opted out for anything else social for the night and instead hit a internet room to email Ryan.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How can such beautiful woman not know how beautiful they are and instead insist that they're so cheap?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
In my country we'd treat these woman like goddesses but here in their own homeland they're treated like cheap bait.
-- Me
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
