Not wanting to go off on a tangent on The Affliction thread, this comment from Jimslim struck a chord. What if you had not discovered Los and more importantly ladyboys, where would you be today? Well I guess some guys love the country and would return no matter, but without the ladyboys, where would we go and how would life be different if we had not explored this sexual awakening for many of us. Discovering Los for me in early 2002 was a turning point in not just my choice of holiday destination, but a big part of my life. In 2001 I was living in Barcelona, I was, and still am interested in Latin culture. My time in Spain at this period of my life was part of a bigger plan to get acquainted all things Spanish and then explore Latin America for a few years. The idea was to stay there, travel and work and eventually move back to Spain and settle down there. I went home at Xmas '01 for 2 week to see the family. The job was not going too well in Bcn, along with a particularly cold winter there, which did not fit in with me dream of beaches in December/ January that had motivated me to move their among other things. My brother said himself and a friend were heading to Thailand in early February and did I fancy coming. I thought hell why not, I can always move back to Spain or Latin America in September '02. I knew there would be ladyboys there, and I could finally get my hands on the Asian version of the Latina transsexuals I used to check out on Barcelona's beach. After 1 more 2 month trip in late '03, finally in September '04 I made the move back to Spain, this time to Valencia. I was job hunting but could not get the images of what I had experienced in Los out of my head. I knew the transsexuals in Spain, the addiction had set in, would not satisfy my Yellow fever. One day while having a break from job hunting, I sat on the beach and looked East. I said to myself, you have got to get yourself back over there for a longer period and sort this thing out in your head. A week later I gave up job hunting and headed home, and 3 weeks later I was sitting on Hua Hin beach with a big smile. I have not been back to Spain since and never made it to Latin America. What should have been a once off voyage of curiosity became a full on addiction that found me living in Bangkok for 2 years and meeting most of you great guys in later visits.
