More Guests

The very next day after arriving back in Bangkok last week, two other friends from San Francisco arrived as well. Mark has finally moved to Bangkok for good and Yohannes was just visiting. Then on Sunday my friend from Vietnam arrived for a 4-day stay.

I never realized Thailand was such a popular holiday destination for people from the US. Or maybe it is just a recent trend. Before I moved to California I don't think I had ever met anyone who had visited here. In any case, I love hanging out with friends who are on vacation in the city where I live.

That would be something interesting to find out - how long people from the US have been Thailand for recreational, destination travel. If it is a trend that is on the upswing, or has it been fairly consistent over the last 50 years. Well, maybe not 50, but possibly 20.

It's always nice to be with friends and have them in the "city where you live." (What musical is that line from? "In the city where I live." Don't know if it is the title of a song, but they are words in a song - - - oh - - - maybe "My Fair Lady." I think that's it!!!!!)

I have the sniffles - poor little me - but with temperatures ranging from lows in the 20s (F) to highs in the 60s (F) - no wonder ---- :-( I will survive!!! I will survive!! (oh - there goes another song --"Flashdance" ???)

Love you!!!
