Missed my train
Me and Dilan both missed our train to Chiang Mai and I’m stuck to sleep in this smelly HUGH train station cos I checked out of my hostel and because its Chinese new year there’s absolutely NOWHERE to stay. Its OK though cos if someone sees you on your own with a backpack they welcome you into whatever group they are in. I guess its the backpackers code or something.
Anyway, I am ALMOST used to this Thai keyboard so things are getting a little easier. After exploring the city by subway and sky-train (So cool, lots of people really fast) I feel a lot more comfortable with it and the prostitution is being blanked out at this stage.
Food is wonderful here and I ate mostly from the food stalls. I found a new love…. TOFU. Its LOVELY! My poos are healthy and despite being RIDDLED with mosquito bites, I am still healthy (I think). I really miss everyone and its really hard being on my own but thats why I’m here isn’t it? A big adventure. And to be honest, so far, thats EXACTLY what it has been…. and I’m only here three days!
The weather is REALLY hard to get used to and I have to change and shower like 5 times a day. Other than that Bangkok is lovely and the REAL Thai people are so friendly and welcoming. For example, at the train station, a girl from the TAT came over to me to help me get a ticket. She offered me bus tickets and all sorts of alternatives and she was NOT on commission or anything. Its just the Buddhist way of life I guess. Played Yo-Yo with a tuk tuk driver and a security guard bought me a bottle of water cos I was sitting alone, looking distressed I guess.
I uploaded the photos that I could to my gallery, but have not had a chance to add descriptions to them. I suppose Ill do that when I reach somewhere where the Internet is free and I have some time.
Anyway, peace out.

I think its so funny that the first time you have to be on time for something without me you’re late! 🙂 It just goes to show that you really do need me there to tell you to hurry up all the time! 😉
