Tuesday
Laundry 360
Order some business cards.
Eating food at roadside stands. Really good lunch for just more than a buck. Man I packed on some pounds eating American portions. Got to get back to trekking and swimming.
Bought a three day rail pass and went to next station to get a SIM card. For 490 Baht I got a sim card and unllimited internet for a month. That’s about $16. In San Francisco they wanted $25 for a card and $50 for a month. The mall is enormous, stores are clustered based on the goods they sell, that makes comparison shopping easy. No room for anymore stuff anyway. What is this???
Unlimited sushi for 340.
I shouldn’t have. Really.
A girly boy on the left, a woman selling fried insects on the right and a guy with a brochure for two women bath, shower massage and as many happy endings as one wants for 1,500 baht, or 50 bucks. I am 100 feet from the front door of my hotel. Where do I get a coffee?
Whores every 10 feet, some of them really cute. Girly boys everywhere.
For all the people, this place is pretty civil.
Three o’clock. Time for bed.
Wednesday
Nobody has change for 1000 baht. Exchanged US and Taiwanese money.
Took train to end of line looking for a river sewing machine stores, casket manufacturers, whores and buddhist monks anything else here?
China Town. Junk wares, strange foods.
A restaurant selling broiled shark fin f0r 3000 baht a gram ($100)
Taxi 60 to station, it wasn’t far, but I never would have found it. Never found the river either. Gotta hire a guide and taxi and train around. I don’t want to go on a tour.
4:16 stopped by cop for littering a cigarette butt. I showed him the butt still the palm of my hand. I had discarded just the ash. He bowed and apologized
mutton masala for dinner, awesome, 300
