A few quick notes: ran into the first person I know today, Sarah Allen, a girl I worked with back in NZ. I'm surprised it took this long but Bangkok felt like the most logical place. Ran into her in the bathroom at the central world mall. Crazy!
On my second day here I had the first person mistake me for a local - always cool!
I don't think I wrote about the fact that I used my first squat toilet ever on the trip from Hat Yai up to Bangkok. It's basically what it sounds like, a hole in the floor you squat over. I was very nervous and for good reason, I ended up peeing on my foot! Everyone told be it'd be find but I doubted them and my worries came true. Good thing the bathrooms are more like wet rooms here, so I just washed off my foot in there with the bucket of extra water you use to "flush" the toilet.
What else....
Probably will be temple day tomorrow.
Yesterday I went to the museum but was so hot and tired I only looked at a few things before giving up and going home.
Today didn't do much. Went to a nice western cafe this morning where we met an Irish guy we didn't really like - kind of rude and really opinionated, in a rude way. Then bought my Thailand book this afternoon and then did some good people watching this evening. 3 mesls of fried rice, 7 servings of fruits and veggies - maybe more, pull and core exercises.
That's all now, good night!
Great to read all your news:) we have had a lovely & busy time with 6 extra staying for 3 weeks : have to tell you I turned the big pot of sweet mixture into truffles which went down a treat :)
