noodle quest 2006

hey friends.  i am in bangkok now.  i flew in yesterday on orient thai airways which was okay but not as great as bangkok airways which i flew from samui to chiang mai.  that airline knows how to serve! free popcorn,, iced coffe, internet and lounge chairs!  but usually much mroe expensive than other domestic thailand airlines.

dan is in the kitchen right now cooking up my fantasy meal that i chose from some beautiful photos in a thai cook book he has.  i am very excited to eat!  last night i showed of fall of recent purchases.  we went for a swim in the pool where i got to float and look at the stars and then we ordered some pizza.  a great time.

today i have just been doing the crossword puzzle and drinking iced tea and lazing around.  we might go see a movie tonight although we both wanted to see Munich which is no longer in theatres.  they have a type of movie seat ticket, i think it is called “emperor seats,” you can buy at maybe 2 theatres where you sit in this giant lounge chair and the ticket includes a 15 minute head and neck massage probably among other things like food and drinks? i really don’t know.  i think it is 20$.  isn;t that nuts?

tomorrow we are going to wake up super early (yeah right- but i really would like to) and go to the weekend market.  then dan has a soccer game in the evening and i am going to meet the chinese grandpas for some kind of seafood extravaganza they are insisting on putting on for me.  i wouldn’t be so rude as to refuse.  they had organized an equally outstanding vegetarian counterpart but my vegetarian counterpart is unavailable to be in attendance.  you can check out her meditation retreat at wat kow tahm online.  she is on day 6 now.  i think it ends on the 22nd so 3 or 4 more days.  i wonder what is going on!

on monday we will go to koh tao to relax in the beginning of the EXTREME summer heat.  it is really so hot it is kind of rediculous but everyone says april is the hottest month.  i can not imagine. 

well, that’s all for now.
