New Year's Eve in Pattaya, Thailand

I've been here since Sunday, first time in 12 years. The growth of this city is enormous especially when I compare it to a small township I visited first time in early seventies. There are new high luxury hotels, but it does not change the character of this place. It's a paradise for pleasure seeking men with other words one of the biggest gardens of the risen sun in the world.
I yesterday at 7pm had a gala dinner (a must) at the hotel for 1000 baht about 20 euros. Luckily I had a nice company of two pleasant gentlemen Ville 26 and Jori 25, who came from the same small country town Huittinen in Finland, where my lady friend Kaisa
happens to be working and part time living.
Then I later strolled on the narrow alleys, dropping in to some bars waiting for midnight in very crowded city. Of course there were plenty of different offers to keep company to me ( very pretty ones too) but eventually succeeded to get to my hotel alone at around 2am after celebrating the the New Year 2008 in a very noisy circumstances.
I then slept in deep dreams for 10 hours!

Hey Matti,
My friend and I met you in Santorini sometime in May....at the internet cafe once and then you were nice enough to buy us a drink. You spoke about how crazy in love you were, I will always remember that and hope someday someone out there feels the same about me. It renewed my faith in men. We think you're awesome for having the guts to travel like you are. Good for you! You're an inspiration! Good luck and happy travels in the future :)
