Arrived in Bangkok late last night, nothing to do, decided to
take a tuk-tuk to the red light district and see what all the fuss is about.
Were met immediately upon disembarking tuk-tuk on street, by a little man who jumped out from behind a tree at us and ushered us into a girlie bar.
Ordered drinks, planning to stay for just a little while and then move on to another bar. Took a look at "menu" of upcoming stage events and decided instead to stick around. Have since entered girlie bar menu into travel journal for posterity. Ended up watching whole show. Couldn't look away. Highlights of spectacle were as follows:
1) Chain of silk flowers, approx. 15 feet in length, pulled magically and unexpectedly from vagina.
2) Plastic rings, picked up one by one and place onto bottle, using chopsticks held vaginally. I can barely do that using my hands for crying out loud.
3) One bottle of coke, one of water. Both "swallowed" vaginally, somehow kept seperately in there, and then "spat" back into respective bottles without spilling a drop.
4) Tune whistled vaginally. Was close enough to hear it: six feet away. Very loud whistler.
5) Candles blown out on birthday cake, vaginally.
6) Cigarette lit and smoked vaginally. Still bad for you.
7) Bottle caps popped off and shot, vaginally, at balloons suspended from ceiling 10 feet away, bursting balloons on impact.
8) The grand finale: ping pong balls, I kid you not, shot out of a tiny little Thai girl in rapid succession and straight into a tiny little glass like the ones at the BR that you get when you order a rum and Coke. She missed one and did the whole thing again. Great sportsmanship.... If there is one thing I have learned in this country, it's not o judge other people - so I won't except to give those girls a 10/10 for athleticism and a 2/10 for sexiness. (Nice boobs, big bushes though, and not much in the way of artistic presentation.)
I'm very glad I saw it because it made me realize how lucky I was back home not to have that as my own performance standard... and also because I have never been told to get up on a stage with a mop and clean up after the last act. Tony is still recovering from the discovery that he does not know everything there is to know about the female anatomy, and frankly so am I. Please write me if any of you have an explanation for the Coke and water thing, I really wanna know.
