Not a good start.. not at all.

Hello everybody.

Well, here in Bangkok (BKK) i undergo a rough start of my journey. No energy due to lack of sleep and unable to sleep due to a giant jet lag. Changing temperatures and going in- and out of air conditioned rooms has worsened my cough (which had already started in Holland).
Anyway, what happened: On Sunday my bro (Kars, thanks dude) brought me to the railway station to catch the train to Frankfurt. No prob so far. From there i took a flight to Cairo (with a lot of delay). After a long wait in Cairo (more delay, it seems characteristic for Egypt Air) the long flight to BKK. On this trip my cough started and i guess i have annoyed lots of other passengers by coughing all night long.
Finally arriving here, picking up luggage, Sukit (Pareena's brother) picked me up. Nice gesture, highly appreciated. Downtown to the Koh San area, checking in a nice room and start the acclimatisation process: see paragraph above. So, a bad night, with again no sleep until 5 am. Still, im glad im here.
Today: breakfast, catching up some sleep during the day, getting medicine against my cough (will check a doctor tomorrow, to find out if it is (swine)flew), although: no fever) and strolling through town. Afternoon now. Tomorrow im going to visit the school of Sukit (i was also there in 2002). More in a couple of days.
