BLOG: Lady, Interrupted

Thursday. At the coffee shop. One of my barista friends was so happy to see me when I came in. She was like, “OMG you are literally the first normal person to come in here today. All morning it’s been tourists! They just keep getting weirder and weirder. And then...Read More

Wednesday. Hungover AF. If you read my post yesterday and thought to yourself, “This isn’t going to go the way she thinks it’s going to go,” Congratulations! You’re right! I set myself up for disappointment. You would think I’d know better at age 37. Everyone knows there is a reason...Read More

Tuesday. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to All My Relations! Got my invite to the Guinness Happy Hour and I am readyyyyy to partayyyy!! I’ve never actually gotten “Guinness Drunk” before, let alone in a foreign country surrounded by rowdy Irish expats. God help us all. This is a brand new...Read More

Monday. Spent most of the day yesterday recovering from my ridiculous Saturday night out. I only left my apartment to go to the coffee shop and the market around the corner to pick up ingredients for my “Hangover Drink,” which I invented after discovering the lack of decent Bloody Marys...Read More

Sunday. I am functioning with exactly one brain cell today, so bear with me as we try to get through this post. Okay. Um. Right. What are words? We don’t know. This is why I don’t drink Guinness. I drank exactly one glass of it last night and now I...Read More

BLOG: Ye Olde Caste System

Posted on March 14, 2026March 14, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday afternoon. I did not get home until about 4am last night. My sleep schedule is officially fucked. I stayed after at my favourite bar with my bartender friend and her auntie. They are from the Philippines, and therefore have some absolutely crazy stories to share. We sat out on...Read More

BLOG: Freshen Me Up

Friday. Currently feeling oddly refreshed after yesterday’s hike up the Peak. Must have been the combination of intense exercise, writing a story, and eating the cheeseburger. Also, I didn’t drink any alcohol yesterday, so that probably helped a lot. I didn’t sleep as well as I was hoping to, but...Read More

EXT: Old Peak Road - A steep trail surrounded by greenery overlooking Hong Kong. A petite American woman dressed in a purple two-piece yoga set and carrying a backpack with a blue and orange yoga mat sticking out sits down in an empty pavilion beside the trail. She is visibly...Read More

What day is it today? Thursday. It’s Thursday. This is why I always start my posts with the day of the week. Sometimes I legitimately have to check what day it is, especially in Hong Kong. Hong Kong days are so long. We work in three shifts: HK hours, London...Read More

BLOG: Cuppa Tea?

Wednesday. It’s 1:30pm and I’m still in bed recovering from the epic emotional meltdown I had yesterday. This whole Bangkok situation is just… too much for me. I am so tired of misogynistic men and the women who enable them messing with my head. Some days I wish I could...Read More
