What do gluttony and lust have to do with Danish Pastries and Thai Women?

Well if my recent trip to Bangkok is anything to go by then they have lots in common. For example both have an effect on your hip in some way. The effects of Danish pastries add to the hip while most Thai women are adept in reducing your hip…pocket that is. Of course this is all done (allegedly) in the most tasteful way. So while a Danish is soft fluffy and melts in your mouth, Thai women are mouth watering in their own right. After all what's one little tart going to do? Needless to say both go down very well; and the incongruous effect of a night out on the town in Bangkok complete with delectable bevy of beauties often on offer in buffet like fashion is then further complemented by the range of Danish Pastries on the breakfast buffet the next morning. Interestingly enough the indulgence of which can be justified by the physical activity earlier so who said we had to count calories?
At my age I am lucky to be able to count at all given the fact ageing eyesight is out of focus without the aid of reading glasses. Noticeably this vastly improves early evening as a result of copious amounts of alcohol and even makes the down and dirty side of Bangkok seemingly sparkle with clarity. Then like a child lost in a candy store one become lost in the maze of lane ways and neon lights at ground level and shimmering shimmies at well….eye level.
So is love for sale the ultimate bargain? Is pleasure available for a price or will compensated dating just take over all together? Doesn't dating always involving some type of compensation for either side or am I being banal? At the end of the day like the delectable Danish Pastries if looks good eat it, if it’s on offer take it and if it looks too good to be true then is usually is. In the meantime is love being bought or merely rented? Is it better to have loved and lost than never loved before ,even if it is just for 2 hours short time or over night long time? OK so many questions, and like so many women and so little time I can’t even begin to choose. It is for the individual to choose what is right for them at the end of the day and it is not for us to judge the actions of others or others our own if just for one moment in time, we count our sins as a blessing to enjoy a little bliss just once in a while even if it is for one night only!
