As I mentioned I’m going back to the USA. It is my homeland.
I care about apple pie especially since no one can make it like my mother.

“How much they pay you?”
“1500 baht for short time. 2500 for all night.” She ordered another beer on my tab.
“That’s sounds okay.” […]

I’ve been back in the States a month. My funds are getting low. Hell, they were low when I left Thailand. A friend offered a job in Providence. hang drapes at the Biltmore Hotel. $300/ 2 days. Not enough for a ticket back to paradise, but half of that amount would take care of my […]
