I was born in the U.S.A
Category: Travel and Places

Okay so I have had so many massages with in the past month, that at some point you just have to say no. I mean I can't even walk down the street without the sudden supicion that everybody and their mom knows what I look like naked.

I just got my last massage. It costed ten dollars for one hour. This last lady was a freak. "Take off, Take off" she pushed. I mean come on lady I really don't want to "bare it all" to you, I mean we just met and........ Here if you want a quick overview of what a bad massage is like. It's kind of like being abused. You are in the position, where you want to say no, but you don't know how, and the words just won't come out. If I had of said

"hey lady that's my ass! and if I wanted an ass massage I'd find a boyfriend!!"

she wouldn't have understood what I was saying anyway. In a strong accent she whispered "Sexy lady!" I wanted to quickly reply with
"hey! Your mother!" but I just giggled instead.

So I am leaving toomarow. Who knows where I will end up next, but dammit I sure as hell don't want to come home. I'm really trying to fly out to Vegas or a big city, and make it on my own. That's right guys challenge number 2!

As for Brian we pretty much went our seperate ways. I have done everything, meeting, greeting, finding and enjoying, people and things to do, on my own. I met two guys from America, Nick and Danny (I nicknamed Danny Coach, well, because he is a highschool track coach.) Coach is the coolest guy around, when we went shopping in the markets this is how he bargains.......

Seller: "600 bhat..."

Coach: "mmmmm, 300 bhat........"

Seller: "500 bhat. okay you buy now......"

Coach: "Ok, Ok, 300 bhat and I'll let you fuck my mother!"

I don't know how, but some how Coach gets away with the best price
everytime. His mom must be great in the sack! (Coach I'm joking), and I didn't mean it.... I love your super man tattoo." ehem

Nick and I got along really well too, he and I sat and stared at shopping store sign for like an hour and a half describing to each other what we thought it looked like. I couldn't stop laughing because most of what we where saying made no sense what so ever. "It looks like a pirate,......no it's a happy face..... no wait the blue part is the ocean, yah, and the white part looks like saaand, yaaaah for sure." So deep aren't we?

Coach is a really good guy, and has almost convinced me to go back to school. He apparently thinks I have that wierd thing that everyone else has, you know, a brain, I don't know what he's talking about...........

I'm gonna head out and I'll let wegas know (That's the name of my diary, Who ever gives a shit....."WEGAS") where I end up. Who knows, I could end up at your front door, at your slot machine, or on your bar stool," But, god I hope not!

Before I leave though, I want to get something off my chest. I made a friend here is name is Nay Toe Razarr. He is from Burma however, he is not Burmese he is Rhakine. Rhakie I believe, is the Southern part of Burma. I don't know how many of you have been following the news, but there is extreme political trauma existing at this very moment in Burma. Burma is constructed under one of the worst goverments I have ever seen in my life, and whats worse is the American military can't do anything about it.

Nay Toe has travelled to Thailand, as a refugee. At night, The natives of Burma sneek out to neighboring countries, a.k.a Thailand, Bangledesh, Singapore, e.c.t. They can only leave at certain times, and if they are caught, they will, by no exceptions be killed. The people of Burma live under a authoritarian military regime that is widely codemed for it's repressive policies, and human rights abuses. The military has in some form or another controlled Burm for over forty years. In 1988, The people of Burma protested strongly against the military gov., and pushed for democracy. In return, the military killed thousands of protestors , and imprisoned many regime opponents in fatal harsh conditions. However, still promising an election in 1990.

In the 1990 elections, Auung San Suu Kyi's National league for democracy, won this election, how ever she was placed in imprisonment, and the Military Regime has never recognized the results of the 1990 elections.There is so much more and if you are interested (and you should be) look it up. THESE PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY! LOOK IT UP!!! EDUCATE YOURSELF!!! IT WILL TAKE LIKE 5 MINUTES!!! JUST TYPE IN BURMA!!! GOOOGLE IT!!!!! HINT! HINT LOOK IT UP 5 MINUTES!!!

To cut it short, The military goverment controlls the people, through, armed forces. These weapons are supplied to Burma by China. And low and behold, China is holding the Olympics this year. From my research, I have learned that there are several people in America who are going to turn off their television sets, in an attempt to boycott the Olympics, and somehow get China to stop cooperateing with the Burmish Government, by selling them weapons. It is your personal choice. However. sometimes I feel so powerless, and if not watching the Olympics, is the only way I can put in an effot to help save Burma and their people. SO BE IT!!!! It's not that hard WATCH A FREAKIN MOVIE OR SOMETHIN WILL YA........... JESUS!!!!
(I am welcoming any comments or opinions on this issue)

Se ya later peeps, may I end up where ever I am suppose to end up. Well I guess where ever I end up will be where I am suppoe to be because if it wasn't then I wouldn't be there......................Now I'm just rambling,,,,,Later.

From ass massages to Burmese oppression--this great travel blog has it all!!! The regime in Burma is very, very bad and so far it seems that nothing much has been done to help the Burmese people. It wouldn't hurt to boycott the Olympics, but considering that Americans buy an incredible amount of Chinese crap (remember the poisonous pet food and the lead-tainted toys?) and that the Chinese own so much of our debt and treasury bills, I don't know that it would be much more than a symbolic gesture. But----very important--symbolism is also very important. Thse interested in learning more about Burma can go to www.freeburma.org
Have a safe trip back home, Marni, and let us know wherever you land.
XOXO, Gina

P.S. Quote of the day: "Wherever you go, there you are."

P.S.S. I'll print this out so Sherry Wilson can read it. I'm sure she'd love to read about more of your adventures while she's sitting on the crapper at Harahs.
