I’ll save the Android versus Apple debate for another day. In the mean time, for those of you who are in the market for an android tablet, I thought I’d share my thoughts on your best bet if you’re in Thailand.

There is no dumber question than, “Why wouldn’t you have used a condom with her?” This is the question your buddy stupidly asks you after you fess up to making a mistake the previous night. We all know the pros and cons of bagging it before you sleep with a chick, and sometimes the pros
Saying, “It’s up to you” – It’s certainly not attractive when a woman is bossy, but an underrated turn off is to be incredibly indecisive. The first few times you heard a Thai girl tell you, “It’s up to you” was a refreshing change from getting nearly the opposite from women in your home country,

It’s certainly not surprising that sexual performance aids, such as Viagra and Cialis, are a cash cow for pharmacies in touristy areas of Thailand.
