"Aqua"

In Phuket, there is a place called Bangla road. It is a normal road filled with people and cars in the morning but when night fallen, it transforms and become a heaven for “aqua”.

Frankly speaking, very few “aqua” looks “pretty”. Fake breast, long hair, hoarse voice, thick make-up and sexy short skirt make them look weird.

It was strange looking at them. Someone said their soul is trapped in a wrong body. As they cannot change their soul, so they kept trying to change their body.

The outsiders think they are pathetic but they seem lived happily in their own world. I understand that it is their right to choose their gender but most of these aqua chose to become a prostitute and pole dancer... This I cant understand.

On my way back I saw 3 ‘aqua’ in KTM. They dress like teenage girl, wearing hair band, lip stick, strong perfume and the way they talk and laugh is so girlish. I observed that a man who sits opposite with a disgusting look on his face…

This is a world where we want to be normal.
“Normal” = the thinking & opinion of majority.
The opinion of the minority = “odd”
There is an unseen circle surround us.
Those who chose to stay in the big circle are considered normal person.
The sound of minority and people who chose to step outside the circle is always labeled as peculiar, abnormal and troublesome.

We change in order to become better.
We change our job when we do not like it.
Change a new organ when the original one spoilt.
These ‘aqua’ are doing the same things.
They are just changing the body when they found out that their body is not suitable.
I felt weird when see them but at the same time think that there is nothing wrong with them.

Very confuse.
