BLOG: Spread Dat Seed

Posted on March 3, 2026March 3, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Lunchtime at the Irish Pub. I started with a Bloody Mary to nurse me back to life after spending the last four days locked up in my tiny studio apartment watching the news. Why do I do this to myself? No idea. I think I must be some sort...Read More

BLOG: War on TV

Posted on March 1, 2026March 1, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. Sitting at my fav coffee shop in HK. Normally I stop by in the morning for a Go-cup, a cigarette, and some high-quality people-watching. Today I decided to stay and write, if only because it’s finally warm enough to sit outside again. I spent the weekend in bed watching...Read More

BLOG: We Need Some Boundaries

Posted on February 27, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday. Rainy day in Hong Kong. I spent the morning sitting at my favourite coffee shop, watching people as they walked past and taking note of the umbrellas they carry. The umbrella in Hong Kong is a big deal. It’s people’s way of expressing their individual personality. It’s one of...Read More

BLOG: Planning, Not Pantsing

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Last day in Bangkok for awhile. I don’t know when the next time I will come back is. Could be sooner, could be later. I guess we’ll see what fate has in store for us. Feeling a bit uncertain about Hong Kong, but it’s okay. I have planned a...Read More

BLOG: End Chapter, New Chapter

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. We are still here in BKK, if only for a few more days. As much as I love living life as if it is a permanent vacation, it is not. Soon, I must return to reality. That reality is looking for a new job in Hong Kong. The last...Read More

BLOG: Irish F.I.R.E. Horse

Posted on February 21, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. Getting closer and closer to our much dreaded check-out date. Back into the real world we go, with nothing but a delusion to carry us through. I don’t have to go back to HK, but I really do. It’s an achievement thing. I want to prove to myself I...Read More

BLOG: Hope U Get Rich

Posted on February 20, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. At the coffee stand. I always miss this place the most when I am gone from here. I love my perfect little writing spot. I have yet to find one in HK. As much as I wanted to run away from life, once again my decision to become...Read More

BLOG: Mardi Gras Continued…

Posted on February 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. I am… definitely hungover from yesterday. And by that I really mean the last few days. I was out daydrinking three days in a row. Not good, but also… it is Mardi Gras! And Chinese New Year! Laissez les bons temps rouler! Yesterday was quite interesting. I got on...Read More

BLOG: Hail Zulu!

Posted on February 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Trash Wednesday. The party is over. Another year has come and gone. I could not have guessed this time last year that I would be spending Mardi Gras sitting at a farang dive bar in Bangkok, but here we are. It was not so bad. I started with a grilled...Read More

Tuesday. Lunar New Year. Mardi Gras! Happy holidays! I am wearing a special outfit I got from India today. It is red and white gold. Very beautiful. Perfect for the New Year. I did not think the coffee shop would be open today, but it is. I admit I was...Read More
