BLOG: Unmasked!

Posted on March 15, 2026March 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. Spent most of the day yesterday recovering from my ridiculous Saturday night out. I only left my apartment to go to the coffee shop and the market around the corner to pick up ingredients for my “Hangover Drink,” which I invented after discovering the lack of decent Bloody Marys...Read More

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: 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: 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

SCRIPT: Liz vs Hermes

EXT: A Muay Thai Gym somewhere in Bangkok, Thailand. The sign above the door reads “Jace’s Place.” A Grab bike pulls up out front and an Irishman hops off. He adjusts his little messenger bag and smooths his back. He takes a deep breath as he walks through the door....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: 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

BLOG: War on TV

Posted on March 1, 2026March 1, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. Sitting at my fav coffee shop in HK. Normally I stop by in the morning for a Go-cup, a cigarette, and some high-quality people-watching. Today I decided to stay and write, if only because it’s finally warm enough to sit outside again. I spent the weekend in bed watching...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: End Chapter, New Chapter

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. We are still here in BKK, if only for a few more days. As much as I love living life as if it is a permanent vacation, it is not. Soon, I must return to reality. That reality is looking for a new job in Hong Kong. The last...Read More
