Blogging From My New Kobo

It is so nice to have a device with wifi. I don't have to search for a computer and buy minutes. Ease of use.

Well, here I am, sitting in a hotel room in Chiang Mai. I am having a hard time finding words to describe how I feel. It just feels right. I am so elated that I was able to come back to Thailand again. I was really worried about this trip, as my last post explains, but so far I am so happy I came and in a weird sense it feels like I belong here. I love the familiarity of it. I recognize things and places I have been. I see familiar faces. It's absolutely great.

Flights were good. Long, and did not get much sleep. Landed in Bangkok last night around midnight. On the flight from Tokyo to Bangkok was the first time I got any semblance of sleep. By the time we arrived at our hotel I was wide awake. It was close to noon SK time. So I only got a few hours sleep last night. This morning I woke up and took one of my malaria pills. I then went downstairs to eat breakfast. I had a piece of watermelon and pineapple, and a coupl bits of omelette before I started to feel sick. I knew I wasn't going to make it to the bathroom, but I tried. I made it to the lobby and threw up all over the polished marble floors. I felt so bad. One of the hotel staff showed me to the bathroom where I proceeded to be sick for quite awhile. I still haven't completely shaken it, but I think a good nights sleep tonight will help. Maybe some food too.
I think I got sick because I have not eaten much lately. Even before I left on this trip I wasn't eating much because of my nerves. I also had hardly slept, and then I took my pill on an empty stomach when I knew they are hard on me. I have my fingers crossed that tomorrow will be better. I sure hope so because we have a 5 hour drive to Mae Sot in the morning.

We visited the Floating Market in Bangkok this morning. All I bought was a silly souvenier and a beer. Weather is awesome. So warm. I am surprising myself by how much I am enjoying the heat and humidity.

Our flight to Chiang Mai was at 4 in the afternoon, and once we landed here we checked into our hotel, my favourite one on this trip. We went to eat at the night market food court, where again I did not eat much. I think I will have more of a desire to eat once I am over this jet lag. From there we all went our separate ways to explore the market. I found some cute jewellry and another pair of sunglasse because I recently broke the pair I bought on my last trip. I scoped out som clothes that I may buy on the way home.

And to top off my first day in one of my favourite cities, I treated myself to a Thai foot massage. Quite sure I fell asleep. So awesome.

But I had better get to bed. Sleep is needed on so many levels. And I am getting sick of typing on this thing alredy. Maybe it isn't as great as I first thought.

Good night world,
