And now for something completely different...

Back in BKK and all is going well (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!). Had a good trip to BKK, despite a lot of delay. Met Russian Tatjana (for the dutch: no, not that one) on the plane. She's here for a couple of months too, so... we shared a cap and found ourselves a nice room in a cheap hotel (two single rooms, don't get me wrong!!).
The feel of the second start is a lot better than the first. Coughing is still improving (= getting less), which is a big relief, but jetlag stroke hard: fell asleep at 7 am until noon despite 2 big changs (= 6.4% beer in bottles of 64 cl, usually enough to get an elephant drunk), but since the feeling was good i couldn't be bothered.
Also thanks to my cousin Janny, who recommended this book by Hermann Hesse (Siddhartha). It's an eyeopener indeed and it fits so well into my life at this very moment (Herman Hesse's books always go well with my traveling). I read it slowly and secure, since every sentence has so much to say... This book is another aspect of the good feeling i have now.
Today i made a long, long walk to the nearest subway station. On the map it was only 2 cm's, so i figured i could do that on flip flops. That seemed to be true, but not without getting extremely tired. One way to handle the jet lag... See how well i sleep tonight. Well, that's it for today. Dinner and a large beer are waiting for me, so.. see you all later.
