Today is my 3rd full day in Thailand, and I am still feeling a little jet lagged. My friend Mark from SF arrived today, and we will be staying with his friend for the next two weeks. Apparently the friend is a Thai soap opera star / model / recording artist. We went to the Central Department Store today (a big mall) for lunch, and it was quite amusing for me to walk behind him and watch the girls (young and old) with shocked and smiling faces of recognition as he walked by.
Most of my time here has been spent trying to get over the jet lag. That means a lot of sleeping, and a lot of eating. For some odd reason I have been stuffing myself ever since I got here.
Highlights of the last few days have been going to Ministry of Sound on Friday night -- definitely one of the coolest nightclubs I have ever been to. It had a nice mix of guy and girl, gay and straight, and GREAT music. I did, however, leave with my ears ringing. Was the music too loud, or am I too old? haha.
Saturday night Mag and I had a very simple street vendor's Chicken and Rice dinner. It was raining lightly as we sat outside under a big umbrella next to a busy street eating our food. The dish was so simple... nothing more than grilled chicken on rice, with a spicy sauce on the side. But it was the simplicity that made it so good. Comfort food at its best.
Well, I am definitely jealous!! Do have sooo much fun!! I am living vicariously through you! Well, maybe not the ears ringing part - age? nah - what's that? Hopefully, I'll be able to get over there while you are there.
In the meantime, and everyday you are there, enjoy every minute of it! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and you have jumped at the chance! Wish I could share it with you! Well, I kinda sorta am, aren't I? - - :)
Love you!
