It would appear Alan got his rocks off, as they say, and went home.

I'm neither attracted to ladyboys for sanuk nor repelled by them as entities and frankly admire the niche they've hewn for themselves in a complicated social landscape.

One of my favorite moments was touring a friend through an off street in Pattayaland only to have him eschew the talents of the dozens or so lads at an establishment, at least one pleasant enough for me to engage for the evening, while my friend chatted up and offed the mama-san herself, an act of chivalry i couldn't fathom but which definitely dropped a jaw or two as they paraded in Boyztown; she was twice my friend's height and quite clearly no lady. More power to them.
