The rout of the first two months of the Gay World Friendship Tour are now clear, and the gay masses can cheer their heroine on the way, if they should wish to do so. Interesting individuals along the route are hereby invited to write to Suzy (editor at stickyrice.ws) if they wish to meet her. But be warned: Do not write if you are boring! But do write: If you want to host Suzy at your villa, wine and dine her endlessly there and borrow your house boys or boy friends during the nights. Get in touch: If you own a 9 star hotel and would like Suzy to move in for free as long as she wishes. Read more

Everybody remembers where they were 9/11. Suzy Size had returned that very morning from Europe and was watching TV and doing her e-mails at her flat in Bangkok. She witnessed the first plane hitting the one Twin Tower, then the second one and at this stage she stopped doing her mails and moved over to Aqua Spa (today Aqua Pan) a formidable gay whorehouse (sorry, massage) in Bangkok.

Danielle has come from Zurich to visit Christoph and Suzy in Paris for the weekend. A cloudy Sunday, what better to do than to visit Pere Lachaise, the famous old cemetery of Paris. The Metro should bring us there in no time, but there is an incident. The underground train stops at a station, one of the passengers has passed out and is carried to a bench at the station.

When Suzy Size arrives at Centre Pompidou she suddenly remembers a sexual episode she has not thought of for years. Roland was a nice blond guy from Zurich. Suzy and him had fucked together a few times, casual consenting sex, a bit boring, but fine, nothing else to do probably. Read more

Paris is extremely sexualized in the mind of Suzy Size. She has been here at the tender age of 15 the very first time, together with school friends, no parents around. Nothing happened then, but later she saw her first porn movie here, “Deep Throat” which made blow jobs universally popular. The sex shops were of great interest too, they had hard core porn, not only soft porn like in prudish Zurich. Read more

Arriving at Paris Gare de Lyon is easy, but finding lockers to deposit the bags is quite difficult. Suzy Size was invited to stay with a (straight) Swiss guy she knows from Thailand. Christoph had worked at Zurich insurance (before it became Thai Sri) and his wife Danielle was working as a banker in Bangkok (some years back). They are both gay friendly, and, naturally like your heroine Suzy Size Read more

Suzy Size had written an e-mail to her good friend Bee, a gay Thai guy from Nong Khai, well ahead of her arrival in Lyon. But our heroine had never got an answer from that outstanding son of Asia and she had therefore no address or telephone number nor did she remember at what hotel Bee had said he was working. So wandering through the streets of Lyon was the only chance she had, meeting Bee by accident, maybe. Read more

Suzy Size left the hotel room in desperate search of sex. There are basically three gay places in Aix en Provence (and a disco somewhere outside - only accessible with a car). If you want know the details always go to Pink Pages on Sticky Rice Gay Guide World. The three gay places were all in walking distance from the strange hotel Suzy had chosen – not even a toilet in the room -, and within 30 minutes she had an outside glance at Mediterranean Boys which was not open yet.

This is an university city and the crowds you see really are much younger than in all the places visited so far. This is a striking difference between Europe and Asia by the way. The average people you see in the streets in Europe are grey in grey, every second one has a walking stick or sits in a wheel chair and death is immanent everywhere. Read more

There is a little castle overlooking the harbour and Promenade des Anglais. Right under there we discover the first gay Nice sauna called Sauna du Chateau (as always check the Pink Pages of Sticky Rice Gay Guide World). Suzys Gaydar still works very well, and she has done all the research work for you. But instead of sex (the sauna will only open in the afternoon of course) café au lait and a brioche do the trick better for early morning. Read more

Suzy Size moves on to see good old journalist friend Peter and his wife in a hamlet called Cotignac which is not listed on the Pink Pages of Sticky Rice Gay Guide World. The reason? There is no gay scene there at all and no train station too. So how the hell do you get there? Peter has named Draguignon as closest station where the famous TGV (this very fast French train) stops.

Just one remark, the gay scene was long time a hidden in Marseille due to the macho attitude of the men in the South of France, but the scene has always been here of course, this being a port city after all. In more liberal times like ours the gay scene of Marseille is more visible than before and growing in size too. Read more

The light is so special in the South of France, clear, brilliant. This has attracted many painters over the years to Provence region. Suzy Size can only paint a wall and therefore was more attracted by the good food and the good wine. At the local winery they sell wine like gas at a gas station in Thailand, you bring your tank with you and pay by the litres. Suzy has come here with an odd group, consisting of three woman journalists – two retired – and one retired male journalist who riots almost every day if he cannot get his first beer on time. Those straight guys are crazy. Did you not know? Read more
