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

Posted on March 13, 2026March 14, 2026 by Betsey Horton

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

BLOG: Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?

Posted on March 11, 2026March 13, 2026 by Betsey Horton

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?

Posted on March 11, 2026March 11, 2026 by Betsey Horton

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

BLOG: Feeling Just Fookin’ Grand

Posted on March 10, 2026March 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Here we are at the Irish Pub. I needed to get away from my neighborhood today because there is so much construction going on. The noise was destroying my ears. Plus I was so angry after writing my previous story that I had to get up and walk around to...Read More

BLOG: Big Trouble in Little Bangkok

Posted on March 9, 2026March 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. At the coffee shop. The baristas all greet me by name when I come in now. Whoever said HongKongers were unfriendly clearly hasn’t been hanging out in the right places. The baristas know me, the bartenders know me, the owners of my favourite restaurants all know me, my corner...Read More

BLOG: Are We Dating the Same Guy?

Posted on March 7, 2026March 8, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. At the coffee shop. Watching people pass by, as per usual. Went out with one of my girlfriends last night for a much-needed Girls Night Out. We went to a Thai place for dinner, then to a pub to watch the Six Nations. The pub was FULL of people....Read More

BLOG: My Latest Obsession

Posted on March 6, 2026March 6, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday afternoon. Woke up late today because I stayed up late last night doing yoga on my rooftop under the full moon, as one does. It was not my best session. I haven’t done my Hatha routine in awhile so I am not in good shape! I need to start...Read More

BLOG: Not Today, Satan!

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

Thursday morning. Woke up at 6am but stayed in bed until 8:30am. Finally dragged myself out of bed and down to the coffee shop. The place next door is doing renovations so the street is very loud. Somehow I am blocking it out anyway. I had another dream about the...Read More
