Sometimes I wish my whole body were made of airplane tickets. Then, like the Gingerbread Boy, or maybe like those lizards that give up a tail for the greater good, I would go to the airport and break off a pinky and hand it to the ticket counter clerk -she all sweet and pretty cause that’s how they are-and she would look puzzled and say in her Malay or Thai or Chinese scented English-she would say “Sir, I thought you had broken off a finger but look, it’s a ticket to……….”

And she would smile and my finger would grow back! I throw my Pack on the scale in the speedy nervous way I always do and then I… am off….! OFF TO SOME WONDERFUL FABULOUS DESTINATION IN CHINA OR THE REST OF ASIA!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! Look at the Departures Board! Phnom Penh! Vientiane! Siem Reap! Kuala Lumpur! Manila! Kathmandu! Even B,,B,,,B,,,BALI!

Dear Brothers and Sister! Let me tell you something - There’s no time like the right time, and baby, the right time is NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hallelujah! Whip out that credit card, big fella, and book it!

Er…….that is to thoughtfully say…. Oh My Goodness, right this very moment I could get on the internet and I could be surfing. In a chat room on Bali! Or sitting on the beach and watching the tropical sun go down! Or maybe being treated like a prince, touring the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia for pennies a day.

Sorry. I can compose myself. Really I can.

It is just that there are so many fabulous, fabulous destinations in Asia, most especially tropical Asia, also known as Southeast Asia. Beautiful Women! Tropical beaches! Friendly Women! Fabulous Nightlife! Real Women! Magnificent Temples! Lovely Women! Beautiful country sides, fragrant with tropical orchards! Sincere Women! Fascinating cities! Fascinating Women! Asian Women! As you see, there are so many wonderful facets to the gems of Asia that I never repeat myself.

Dating Asian women! Meet a nice Asian girl! Heck, meet lotsa nice Asia girls! The multi-faceted diamond emerald ruby jade gem charms of the women of Asia! That being said……

In this blog we’ll be touring the “Rest of Asia”. Asia minus China equals the rest of Asia. That’s a funny equation….. politically, strategically, economically, China is obviously becoming the Player of Asia. And as you see, Chinese women are beautiful. But, for us travelers and romantic types, looking for a solid relationship - which may or may not be a long term relationship - there is more besides China.

Mostly, we’ll goof around tropical Asia, with a few side trips to India. I’ll introduce you to my long suffering girlfriends, my travel partners, and we’ll cross swords and match wits with my arch enemies-Monkeys!

I’ll help you turn your fingers into airplane tickets.

Southeast Asia is your tropical backyard….. and frankly, if you can sit in an Asian coffee shop reading the excellent weekly newspapers written in your language, you can handle traveling Asia. Watching the colorful crowds going by as you sit in your easy chair; shaking your head at the stupidity of the politicians back home.

Not so hard, huh?

And maybe …. yes, yes, I see; your dreams are made of airplane tickets! Yes!
So, lets’ break off some dreams and start traveling!
