Look at Asian porn on the net.
Go to bars in SF where Asian girls hang out.
Got to Thai restaurants and talk to the waitresses in Thai.
Go to the Thai classes at the wat in Berkeley. It is a little bit of LOS in US. Lots of hot TGs!.
Go to the gym.
Go to movies.
Play guitar.
Talk to girls on the phone(once in awhile I even date one!).
My first tour I had no LOS Blues after, but was dying to go back.
Second tour, LOS blues were bad, lingered for months. Didn't know about the Forum then, had no one to talk to about it, as all my friends were sick of hearing of LOS.
Third tour, extremely bad LOS blues after for a month, but then not so bad. The Forum helped a lot.
Fourth tour, moderate LOS blues lasted only a few days. Got caught up in events here so quickly, that there wasn't much time for blues, but also this time I realized that there are a lot of things here that I missed when i was in LOS, like my kids, my own cooking, playing guitar, going to my gym(the one in Patong sucks big time), sleeping in my own bed(I love to sleep), and even just speaking English to people who speak and think like me.
When I am in LOS, most of the time I feel like I am dreaming, and I don't sleep as much as I should when I am there, and don't dream much at all, since it seems like dreaming when I am awake there. At home, I don't have or want too much excitement in my life. I like to relax after work, which is very stimulating and sometimes very exciting. I sleep a lot and dream for hours every night. Sometimes I just prefer to dream when I am asleep, and not when I am awake. It seems good to have a balance. I had a great tour last time, didn't want to leave, and thought that I would really get the LOS blues bad when I got back to the US. It didn't turn out that way at all.
Of course, I miss the girls, but not as much as before. After my first trip, I didn't want to date farang ladies again, but now I am back at it. I imagine I will have had my fill of them by the time I return to LOS.
I can understand the guys who say that they get over the blues by planning their next trip, and thinking about that a lot. I don't do that anymore. Not at all. I'll get there when I get there and that will be soon enough for me. The days seems to fly by at a rapid pace nowadays, and before you know it, that day will come, and I worry more about whether I can get done all the things I need to do in my life before then, and never stress about how far off it is. I also like being sober most of the time, and not drinking a lot.

P.S. But there is one thing that I really really miss from LOS an awful awful awful lot every day here. That's Tuk, my masseuse! Irrepressible! Irreplaceable. I miss her non-sexual massages much, much more than I miss the great sex with BGs.
