Friday night. Sitting at the pot shop. I could go over to the American Bar, but… I prefer the calm here for now. It’s not busy. Just me and the budtender and some rap music. Good enough for me. She enjoyed my story about the discovery I made about the...Read More

Friday. Here we are, at the coffee shop. As per usual. This is literally what I do every day I am here. Last night there was nothing interesting going on at the American Bar. I said, “I hope something interesting happens tonight.” And it did! So that was pretty exciting....Read More

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

Posted on January 30, 2026January 31, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wow, what was that? I don’t know, but… personally, I suspect someone put the kratom in my drink. At first I was just out there testing the vibe, like… okay, I didn’t realize it was this icy, but okay. We’ll handle it diplomatically, like a boss. And then… suddenly… they...Read More

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

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.
