Ladyboys!

Thailand is ill famous for ladyboys.

Its ingrained in the fabrics of society and I wouldnt have known that if we didnt go for the local cultural shows.

To me, it appeared vulgur. Guys dress as girls, gyrating shamelessly, suggestively to the much giggle an catcalls from guys and girls around. Saw it in performance after performance. Dont know when all these started and why it continues to mean something even today in the society.

The tour guys is one such guy who would tease guys unabshed, much to the amusment of everyone.

Havent seen it anywhere else so far.

Later, in one of the rooms, there was gambling with cards. Small bets, small losses, smaller gains. Being hedged in general, I ended up neutral.

Not rich guys, play bigger than they should, bigger than what they earn.

Things that happen is often more than what one can imagine.
