And yes, I do understand the meaning of irony. The difference is, I do my cantankerous ramblings online, not in person, at the time an injustice occurs. I internalize it, stew over it and certainly will die of a massive aneurysm as my skull explodes towards the sky in a rage-filled spectacular.

This week we shall further explore eating after drinking. Moving away from Sukhumvit, the other most likely place you’ll be stumbling about is Silom/Patpong. Depending on what you’ve been doing here, you may be suffering post-traumatic stress and therefore be off your food. Personally, I find food comforting in any situation – in this case it can help keep your mind off what you have seen (and can never unsee).
Manila is a sprawling metropolis with a variety of nightlife areas. Most bars close at 2am although some open much later on weekends and holidays. Malate is probably the most famous bar zone, and I think it’s livelier than the comparable Lang Kwai Fong strip in Hong Kong. In Quezon City, Morato Avenue is full of bars and comedy clubs while Makati and Global City have bar strips in the Greenbelt and Bonifacio High Street malls respectively.

Jet…lag. It sucks big…time. According to the Encarta World English Dictionary jetlag is, “an internal physical disturbance experienced by travelers on flights across different time zones… disrupting sleeping patterns, eating schedules and body temperature.” Sounds like the aftermath of boozy Friday night, without any of the booze.

A great many people who come to Bangkok find themselves in need of something greasy after a night on the tiles. Since the bars don’t officially kick you out until about 2am, the hapless drunk might wander into a 24-hour McDonald’s thinking it’s the only option. While McD’s is probably the easiest thing to order when your eyes are putting a kaleidoscope effect on everything, there are cheaper, greasier options if you can remember the following in your time of need.
Macau is rapidly becoming the Las Vegas of Asia with giant casinos, glittering lights and the opportunity to make a fortune – or lose one – with the spin of a wheel. There’s plenty of after-dark action with most casinos open around the clock but most bars and clubs are of the ‘hostess’ variety where pretty girls give you attention in exchange for cash.

I read in travel guides that you’re supposed to haggle in Asian markets, but it makes me feel weird because arguing over prices is seen as rude or cheap in my country. What’s your advice?

Food. Because when you’re traveling, it’s everywhere! Pair it with my utter lack of self-control, it’s a recipe for disaster. And it’s especially good when you travel to Southeast Asia.

Since it offers Malay, Indian and Chinese cuisines, my micro-stay in Georgetown meant my stomach had to practically defy the laws of biology to digest enough food so I'd felt like I'd experienced the place properly.
