Husband: Where do you want to go in the world? What do you want to see? I know I can’t pull you away for too long, throughout the year. Probably maximum 2 weeks at a time? But I want to know. I want to hear about it.
Wifey: Okay. In no particular order…
EGYPT — I still say this, all the time, don’t I?!
Husband: (Chuckles) Maybe that is number one?
Wifey: No! I don’t know. I mean — I have no idea. Is it safe? Is it going to be safe to go there? But it’s… there’s definitely an imagination, a longing… a romanticisation of it…
Husband: (Devilish grin) Have you ever thought about having sex in a pyramid?
Wifey: (Chuckles) NO! I have NOT had that THOUGHT… why would YOU?!
Husband: You’re the one writing this blog. I think you’re the one thinking about it…!
Wifey: No. I’m not thinking about it. I’m thinking it’s very TYPICAL of YOU to think about it! That’s how I wrote it out. But no — let’s NOT try to do that… let’s just get a hotel… a nice hotel, with a view of the pyramids… and make love there. Comfortably. In the hotel room.
Husband: (Smiling) (Feeling very excited)
I can’t believe you just wrote that.
Wifey: Why?!
Husband: Doesn’t this “lose face” for your cousins?! (Laughing)
Wifey: No?! Why would it?! You’re always so worried about like, shirts on or off — Taiwanese don’t care about that. We can make sex jokes in a personal blog. It’s not losing face. It’s my art. It’s my creativity.
Husband: Oh… so Taiwanese can be really “out there” with their art?
Wifey: OF COURSE… why wouldn’t they be allowed to be that way?!
Husband: You don’t understand my culture at all, do you?
Wifey: No. I absolutely do not. And I haven’t even thought about it that much. It’s not like Taiwanese are sex fiends! It’s just that… culturally if you want to express yourself — as an adult — in your art… yeah. I guess it’s like Parisians. We don’t give a fuck. Maybe if you’re Taiwanese Christian you’ll care a little bit… but that’s a MINORITY in Taiwan!
Husband: Okay… interesting…
Wifey: My favourite thing about Taiwan are the same-sex marriages that occur at the Buddhist temples. We’re so OPEN about it! We are so welcoming!
Husband: (Nodding) Cool, cool…
Wifey: Anyway, okay. Egypt. It’s like… a daydream type of destination… it’s not like… “I HAVE TO SEE IT” — it’s just… “That’ll be nice one day…” One day, not urgently.
Husband: Well, where do you want to go urgently?
Wifey: I don’t have anywhere that I want to go urgently. But I guess, a nice place to visit would be… London?
Husband: London?
Wifey: Yes, because I want to see all the TAYLOR SWIFT WALKING TRAILS and things like that before it goes out of trend!
Husband: There are Taylor Swift themed walking trails in London!?
Wifey: YES!!!
Husband: Okay. So there is a sense of urgency. Taylor Swift walking trails before it goes out of trend. In London.
Wifey: Yes. Okay, and a new place on my radar… that I wasn’t expecting… well… I keep seeing Tik Toks about the new Dior café in Thailand… but then, the other day… someone told me some stories of their personal experiences as a tourist in Thailand… it’s contradicting. I don’t know what to think. I do know other acquaintances from Thailand, and they’re lovely. So I wouldn’t want to say anything to offend Thai people on this blog. But the feedback from the other person, the tourist — it wasn’t a good experience.
Husband: That’s interesting…
Wifey: Yeah. So like — if it’s possible, to go to Thailand, and have a nice experience — sure! I’d love to visit Thailand! But if I go, and it’s… a bit hectic? A bit… chaotic? (Shaking my head) I wouldn’t like it. Even if it we made it to the Dior café.
Husband: (Nodding) Noted.
Wifey: (Giggles) Okay… umm… I DON’T want to visit Antarctica. I did it in the Metaverse. That was enough.
Husband: (Laughing)
Wifey: I don’t think I could survive the actual cold of Antarctica and I just don’t have that “dare devil adventurer” in me to want to actually go there.
Husband: (Still laughing)
Wifey: Ummm… I mean, one day… African… safari…?! I guess? There’s like a giraffe hotel somewhere in Africa?
Husband: Giraffe hotel in Africa… okay.
Wifey: That’s like, sooooo far down the track. Okay, it’s very, very low priority.
Husband: Low priority. Okay.
Wifey: (Sigh) I used to think that I wanted to visit Paris… but I’m not so sure anymore. I don’t feel any pull towards it. I don’t feel like it’s that interesting. I don’t know, maybe we could do a drive-by on our way to Germany?
Husband: Okay? Driving by from where? We’re kind of jumping from place to place in these discussions.
Wifey: Okay, so like, the same London trip. But we drive… PAST Paris… on our way to GERMANY?!
Husband: You want to go to Germany.
Wifey: Only when my friend is there! You know my friend who’s in Germany! But she’s not there in 2025. So we can wait. Wait until she’s in Germany again. Then we can go visit her there!
Husband: Okay. So I don’t think we’re doing the drive-by of Paris from London if we’re visiting Germany in a whole other year. So far you’ve said that London is the priority, it’s the one with a sense of urgency. Because Taylor Swift walking trails are trending — right now. Who knows how long that will last? Another 6 months? 12 months? Then they’ll move on to something else. Whatever pop celebrity tourist thing. It won’t be Taylor Swift for that much longer. So I think London should be a destination of its own. In 2025. Like, that’s easy. Let’s just go. Now!
Wife: (Giggles) Okay I’m going to keep daydreaming… Ummmm… Yeah. Okay. London feels like a good idea.
Husband: How many days?
Wife: I don’t know. But I can’t get away for that long.
Husband: Neither can I. (LOL)
Wifey: Okay but let’s just try the MINI-LONDON first. Let’s try BRISBANE. First. Because… I don’t need a passport and we can just catch a train to go there. And we can try that… FIRST…
Husband: Okay. Brisbane… as a trial… first…
Wifey: (Nodding) Yeah… we can go make out in that ferris wheel.
Husband: (EXCITED!!!)
