noodle quest 2006

last night i had a nice dinner with ro and laurie at the wok restaurant which is a really nice restaurant and famous cooking school. i had some massaman curry, the king’s favorite!
then i got home and packed until about 12. today i woke up, checked in on my dress and had a satin sash made for e’s dress. then i went back to julie’s, moved out of my room and went to the chinese market called warorot market. WOW! it was so freakign huge! at some points there were four levels and outside vendors and multiple buildigns- i am sure i saw 1/8th of it. good thing too because they had soo many cool things to buy. i settled on a weird tank top for lauren and a new hat for me. i never replaced the one that i lost in vientienne, laos.
so then i picked up my dress and sash and now i am at the niternet place. i said goodbye to bank, my friend who owns teh shop and left a good luck bracelet with him for his wife tum who is having her first ultrasound tomorrow and is going to find out if she is havign a girl or boy! everynoe thinks boy but her and bank think it will be a girl. everytime i am in chiang mai they are so kind to me and feed me all of the time in their room behind the internet. very very nice people.
i also took some impotrant photos today of my room at julie’s, my kao soi restaurant and kao soi chef, gotam the nepalese dude at the tailor and other important shots. it is a little after 2pm and i will go to the airport at 3:30 so i think i have just enough time for an hour foot massage for 3.5$! chiang mai is a spa lovers paradise.
anyway my flight is at 5 and i will get into chiang mai at around 6:30. dan’s going to meet me at the airport.
i just checked weather.com and it is 30 degrees in nyc! not okay! the 10 day forcast predicts 50 at the end. i conceptually can NOT grasp what thsi will feel like. ouch i am cold!
jess is on day 5 of ehr meditation retreat, the middle day of her journey. i am so curious what kinds of things are happening inside her skull. hopefully she will not be totally insane when we next see her. this feels pretty unlikely as 10 days seems adequate time to break down, go insane, stay insane for a while then peice yourself back together then fidn peace with your new brain, don’t you think?
