BLOG: The Forgotten Side Quest

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Sunday. I just looked at my calendar and was shocked by how much time has already gone this month. Crazy. In two weeks, I will have been gone a whole year. In one month, my visa expires. This is crazy. So crazy. I can’t believe this year has gone by...Read More

BLOG: You Want To Go To A Real Party?

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Wednesday. Strange days, strange nights. My new favourite song lyric is “You’ll get more than you bargained for when you come to Hong Kong.” Ain’t that the truth? Let me start with Monday night. Late at night, I received a text message from my bartender friend’s mother asking me if...Read More

BLOG: Gonna Have A Good Day

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Tuesday afternoon. I am having a good day so far. Looking good, feeling fly. Ain’t nobody dope as me, I’m just so fresh, so clean (so fresh and so clean, clean)! Did yoga on the rooftop, then showered and got all dolled up for no other reason than just because...Read More

BLOG: The Cure for Loneliness

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Sunday afternoon. Chillin’ in my apartment on a rainy day. There is something very cozy about rainy days in Hong Kong. The thunder is rolling in, the lightning is flashing, the rain is pounding against the pavement, the streets are slowly filling up with water and flooding. It’s the perfect...Read More

Friday. At the coffee shop. It’s raining today. It rained all last night. The construction was still going on outside until about 2am when the rain started, so the very loud sounds of the drilling were replaced by impossibly loud, extremely terrifying thunder claps. Needless to say, I did not...Read More

BLOG: See the SEA

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Thursday. Where does the time go? I do not know. I am early to the coffee shop today. Early meaning 10:15am. Normally I come around lunchtime because the streets are busier and much more fun to watch. Today I came early just because I woke up at sunrise, a rarity...Read More

BLOG: All Over The Place

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Here we are. Monday, again. Still nothing to show for my efforts but some blog posts. I like to think it’s okay because I’m getting funnier, in spite of my occasional brush with darkness out here in SEA. I applied for another crop of jobs last week. Nothing. It’s all...Read More

BLOG: I Think We Lost The Plot

Posted on by Betsey Horton
Thursday. Where did the week go? Oh yes, I know. I spent all day yesterday sucked into Netflix while actively avoiding reality. Nothing like a good true crime docu trio to wake you up to all of the different ways life could go wrong. I’m not really partial to the...Read More

BLOG: Ye Olde Caste System

Posted on 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
