(Evo's note: So... iTunes is really important. And by that, I mean really important. I know it sounds nuts, but the single most important factor in our show reaching more people is completely dependent on how many people stream or download the episode directly from iTunes. So if you really want to help us, even if you don't actually use iTunes to listen; download and/or stream this week's show through iTunes. The first first 24 hours an episode is live is our most critical time in the iTunes-dominated world. It helps. Big time. So please. Click the links scattered in this paragraph. It really helps.)
The lowdown on sexy Thai massages and why you’ll probably die on a motorbike in Taiwan. You win some, you lose some on this episode of the podcast!
Greetings one and all to another show from Bangkok, Thailand. We’re now in our third month living as expats and couldn’t be happier. Well, I mean… We probably could be if more people signed up to get a postcard from us each month, but we’re pretty happy.
We share two other stories on today’s program, one from Thailand and another from Taiwan:
1. Dirty Thai Massage Secrets
Music credit: Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeod
Spoiler alert: While it is possible to have one of those massages in Thailand -- you know, just like it’s possible everywhere -- we’ve not had the opportunity. And we’ve had a lot of massages. So before you assume that the Asian massage place on the corner is just a front for a prostitution ring, you might want to hear what we have to say.
2. Taiwan Two-Wheel Terror
Music credit: Tutorial 0 by Kevin MacLeod
What’s with the clickbait titles today, Evo? Sheesh. It’s not like the story April from Wisdom Trails tells about her experience on a motorbike in Taiwan is that much different from any other Asian motorbike experience. Because let’s face it: these people are trying to kill us all. By motorbike!
And that’s the show!
In case you didn’t get the hint: we really want your travel story. So please, get in touch. We’d love to have you on the show.
Also, if you’re like to be on the show as one of our guests, drop us a line! Apparently you like having our interesting tales of life in Thailand intermixed with fun travel stories from others, so let’s keep it going!
Special thanks to Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech.com for our theme music Upbeat Forever and all of the music used in this episode.
