Jan 30th 2005 was my last night in Bangkok for awile, I definetly miss the Suk. To celebrate I went to a place called Guliver's Travelers Tavern, a very nice place with a water fountain out front, and good food and beer to go with it.

Well I had a seat at a small table right next the fountain and ordered an American breakfast (I KNOW, I KNOW!!!!!) and a small bottle of Singha (the small bottles are the same as an American bottle of beer the big ones are the size of a wine bottle back home).

Just after my beer arrived , I swear I felt something crawl up my leg, but when I rubbed to get the bug off me, it wasn't there. Forgetting about it I dug into my recently arrivied hard fried eggs, which were still a little soft, and nibbled on bacon done just right.

About half way through the meal is when I noticed it staring at me from the wall next to my table. It was a small one, about three inches long, but right away I knew what it was, a gecko.

Now the thing you have to understand about these lizards is that A they don't do the robot in real life, and B They are absolutely harmless.

So after watching it do not much of anything for a few minutes, I recalled how the Thais believe gecko's bring good luck, thats when I started smiling, the gecko was a gift from the city to wish me good luck I thought or maybe just a real fortunate coincidence, I mean the lizard could have been with a pregnaunt lady giving birth thus blessing the life of the newborn instead it decided to make him or herself home at my dinner table.
I should have felt extremely gratefull and I did untill I remembered reading something that said Cambodians like to eat gecko stew, or some such thing but I could be mistaken I mean this doesn't mean I'm going to end up in a stew does it?
