Yep, maybe he can buy his own drinks. I'd buy you a beer though, you seem to be a straightforward no bullshit sort of person.

The Sportsman ( Soi 13/1 ) in Pattaya has good beer and great meals. Soi 10 beer bar complex is great for cold beer and cute Thai gals.

If you are ever around let me know.

You are right, if I was just some bum in China with with a PhD working at a Shandong university I wouldn't bother telling anyone.

I'm not a fan of mainland Chinese women as you well know, but some of those Shandong gals are tall with with nice figures and waist length straight long black hair.
