What is the difference between Hollywood and Holywood?

We spent some time yesterday going to the Grand Palace, walking around, and then we hit Khosan Road w\hich is where all the toursits go and stay, its quite cute and bumping with activity. Last night we went for dinner with our new friend, James, who is from Singapore and runs a anti-aging/skin care consulting firm. we kept running into him in the elevator and we spent sometime tlaking. He is here for some group Christian stuff and traveling alone so i think he wanted some friends. we agreed to go for dinner, after we established that he wasnt a pervert or anything wild haha. the dinner was a nice little japanese place (not sushi style), and he bought it for us. After a lotof talk about our lives and his life and what not he gave us some homework for today...he wanted us to tell him the difference between what our idea of hollywood and HOLYwood is. We told him we would come back to him with some answers...so were still working on it. After our dinner maddy and I went to Patpong market which was so funny...theyve cracked down a bit on its 'wildness' cause it is pretty perverted and aggressive haha. Everyone there tries to recruit you to come to the sex/lady shows...."P**** cuts banana", "p****shoots out ping pong", "free show no charge"...pretty outrageous stuff. and they pester u so much so whenever they tried to get us to go in we would try and take pictures of their sheets which they show you listing all the different type of "shows"...then they would bugger off cause they dont like u taking pictures. We are obSESSED with the street padthai and this green curry...it is amazinggggggggg. Today we tried to go to some palace but turns out alot of things are closed cause its Buddha Day or something. so we are back on Khosan road, puttering around. we just bought our bus ticket to go down to Koh Tao where we are gonna go scuba diving etc, it leaves at 6pm and goes overnight to Chumphuon where we will take a boat to Koh Tao. Tomorrow we are also going to the floating market which is a couple hrs out of BKK but it looks pretty cool. anyways all in all BKK is awesome, the weather is outrageously hot and super fun, its not as smoggy as we thoughgt it would be, and we cant wait to go down south to the islands!!
probably report back in a couple days. xoxoxox
