Checking into the hotel was relatively painless.
I decided to walk up to the street
market for dinner. It’s only two blocks away and the variety of food is
fantastic. I picked up some Thailand oranges, noodles, rice and prawns. Big,
fat, giant, juicy delicious prawns cooked over a grill. This was the best meal
I’ve eaten since coming to Thailand.
One of the great things about this
hotel is the TV. There are three or four movie channels in this hotel and
American news. I love it. The first movie I was able to sit and watched was Bourne Identity. What a treat.
I decided to not pay for Internet. I’m going without my connection to the world wide web for a few days. It will do me good. I will write my journal on word documents and post when I get access to the web. Earnest Hemingway did all his writing with a pencil and legal pad.
I’m pooped. It’s been a long day on
very little sleep. My belly is full and I’ve had a couple of beers. It was
Heineken Sunday and a good Heineken Sunday it was.
The fitness center closes at 9pm so I
popped in to have a quick sauna, Jacuzzi and steam. It was a nice end to the
day.. Tomorrow I will sit upon the bike and get a good workout.
The traffic lights here give a
countdown as to when they will be changing from green to red and back again.
There is also a countdown
I bought a kilo of oranges today at
the outdoor market and got burned. They are old. Old dried out oranges. The lesson from this is to
taste one before I buy from now on. I think this is why the orange salesman at the organic market in
Chiang Mai will cut on orange open and allow people to sample and taste. If you
are not confident in your product you will not give out free samples.
I noticed a sign today while in the
sauna, it referred to the Jacuzzi use:
No swimsuits, no cream or compost in
Jacuzzi. I can only interpret the "cream" reference to mean, no jerking off. It's disturbing to read something like that, not to mention no shitting in the jacuzzi. Only in Thailand
