BLOG: Enjoy the Show!

Posted on February 5, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Here we are in BKK. I still have not resolved my housing situation in Hong Kong, though not for lack of trying. It’s very stressful. It’s insanity. I don’t know why I’m determined to make it work. It’s… exhausting. I guess I have something to prove to everyone, I...Read More

BLOG: Boardwalk-Park Place

Posted on February 4, 2026February 4, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Sitting at the coffee stand. Watching the world pass me by. Not feeling quite as lost as I used to feel when I was here before in Thailand. Hong Kong has truly been a stabilizing force in my life. I would like more of that energy, please. I haven’t...Read More

BLOG: Month Number Nine

Posted on February 2, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. Here we are… Month #9 at SEA. I can’t believe I haven’t given up yet, lol. Yet here I am, back in Bangkok, after conveniently deciding to miss my flight yesterday. You see, I have an interesting problem. I have an apartment here, but I do not have an...Read More

BLOG: Wild Farang Night Out

Posted on January 31, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. Sitting here at the coffee stand, watching traffic go by. It is true what they say:: the congestion is particularly bad this time of year. I learned last night to always carry a scarf after two motorbike rides through the streets of Bangkok at various times of night. It...Read More

BLOG: I Love Travel, But I Also Hate Travel

Posted on January 27, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Okay. Tuesday. Today has been rocky so far, as it always is when I travel. I was not very motivated to get out of bed, but then I remembered I would never have to use that horrible shower that is irritating my skin ever again. Got all my stuff packed...Read More

BLOG: The Call of the Wild Farang

Posted on January 26, 2026January 26, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. I feel like I never write anymore since I put my latest manuscript together. Hong Kong has me focused on an entirely different beast, which is stability. Naturally, I have made the irresponsible decision to escape this stressful, demanding lifestyle for a week to go to Bangkok. Why? Mostly...Read More

BLOG: Time to Move Again…

Posted on January 19, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday evening. Resting after yesterday’s epic All-You-Can-Eat, All-You-Can-Drink Contest. My friend ate the most chicken wings, while I held my drink like a boss. It was fun! I do so love living here in Hong Kong. I feel safe. I feel calm. I think this is probably the safest I’ve...Read More

BLOG: Irish Honey Pot

Posted on January 18, 2026January 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday, again. What even is the world I am living in right now? I have no idea. Anyway, I’m still drunk after staying out all night partying at the gay club. I think I went to bed at 6am? Woke up at noon, still drunk. No idea how many vodka...Read More

BLOG: I Am Not A Spy!

Posted on January 4, 2026January 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday? I think? The days are different here. Hong Kong hours are like… normal hours here, plus London Time, plus New York City time, plus Chicago time, plus San Francisco time. It’s like every day here is really the equivalent of a day and a half. I was feeling this...Read More

BLOG: At the Pub

Posted on January 3, 2026January 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday night. Sitting at the Irish Pub. I am sad to report there is not a goddamn sexy beefcake in sight. Not a single one, unless of course you count the football game on TV. There is one old drunk Irish guy here singing his heart out to the 90’s...Read More
