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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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

BLOG: Red Envelope Special

Posted on February 17, 2026February 17, 2026 by Betsey Horton

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
