Illness and techno and monks, oh my!
Yesterday afternoon I got sick again. Luckily this time I started to feel bad (nauseated, feverish, etc.) while still awake so I was able to get everything out of my stomach before it could wreak too much intestinal havoc. Within a couple of hours, I felt right as rain again.
The soundtrack to my illness this time was the endless chanting of a monk (oh my word, is he ever going to shut up??) being amplified at the Sunday evening market outside, accompanied by some sweet techno beats coming from next door. And I got to enjoy this super hip spiritual dance mix totally free of charge. Lucky me!
Oh yeah, and I take back what I said yesterday about there not being so many foreigners here. There have actually been a huge influx in the past few days and I don’t think that’s just my imagination. For instance, when I got here a week ago, my guest house was almost totally empty and I got my pick of rooms. Today the ‘no vacancy’ sign was out for the second day in a row. But I will stand by the couples comment. Are people even allowed to travel to Thailand without their boyfriend/girlfriend? I’m surprised I wasn’t stopped at the border, ‘Hopelessly Single’ stamped in my passport, and hustled right back onto the next plane heading for Belgium or something.

hopefully the techno guy will go crazy and give you a map to an island where you get to go hang out with leonardo decaprio and a bunch of weed. also i hope you didn’t get sick from eating at Amazing Sandwich
Every morning, 5 days a week for 3 consecutive months, I woke up to the blaring of the obnoxious children’s song (if you could call it a song), “ABC…” I was living in China at the time and every morning, it was the same crap…A, B, C, D, E, F, G,….every morning. The only saving grace was that I had fresh dumplings waiting for me on the other side of my bedroom door. I love my aunt!!! I gained 15 lbs that summer.
