Noraly Schoenmaker was a thirty-something geologist living in the Netherlands when she learned that her live-in partner had been having a long-term affair. Suddenly without a place to stay, she decided to quit her job and jet off to India in search of a new beginning. Her plans were dashed when she fell quickly and helplessly in love: with a motorcycle. Behind the handlebars, she felt alive and free – nimble enough to trace the narrowest paths, powerful enough to travel the longest of roads. She first rode toward the Pacific, through the jungles of Myanmar and Thailand, then into Malaysia.

My book of memories, One thing I found after moving here, was how humble I became, because although so many have so little, and struggle to get by everyday, they are such happy, and loving people, who would give you their only bowl of rice. It truly was eye opening to me, I am proud to be among such wonderful and beautiful people here in the Philippines. Who would gladly give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. It touched my heart and my soul and made me see the big picture, it isn’t wanting what you don’t have, happiness is being grateful to be a live, and appreciating what ...

"That's the one!" I said, deciding to go for it. After all, she was just my type: petite, yet pulchritudinous. Visions of what I would do to that tight little body flashed through my mind (shocking even me!), and as for those tits, I'd never let go of them!... In the event, I never actually got hold of them, as this was one of those visits where (almost) everything went wrong, but I published the book anyway as it contains useful information about bars and barfines and the state of Walking Street itself, which is in process of reconstruction.

I asked, “How much for the barfine?” She said, “3,000.” I said, “How long?” (Remembering my rules for once!) She looked at her watch and said, “Five hours.” That clinched it…. And much more like this, exactly as it happened, taken from journals written by the author from 2019 to 2020 on his return to the bars after his “very special girl” broke his heart.

There has been much debate about whether or not poetry is dead. Well, I can tell you from the point of view of a KDP author that poetry *IS* dead. So, I decided to rewrite some of my poems as prose reflections in the cynical, world-weary style of Graham Greene, and it—sort of—works. Hope you like it.

I saw a cute young thing in a red negligee with white panties underneath and asked the waitress to bring her over to me. Her name was Jocelyn. She was 19, had worked there for one week, and had not been with a customer yet. That clinched it and I said the magic word ('barfine')... And much more like this, exactly as it happened, taken from journals written by the author from 2006 to 2010. The journals describe a series of disconnected encounters, but there is an underlying thread – the story of how Bangkok Byron met a very special girl.
