almost the last

Had a great day in Chinatown.. got completely turned around but kept walking until I found something that I could locate on the map. New Year is coming up.. very exciting. Well I will tell you one thing.. don't think you want to be a very pale older Farang looking for opium weights in the middle of Chinatown. First.. they hardly speak Thai.. and I can't and they did not opium.. and then looked at my ex-catholic school and wide eyes and decided I did not mean the poppy.. I thought for a minute that it was not going to be good.. but my smiling way kept me alive. I spend hours there and was beyond hot and tired. So I took the sky way to back to Siam and had a card dinner. You get a card and walk around and buy what you want... so I had an Indian dish, an Italian dish and the Thai dish. It is much more expensive. What until you see the pictures.. I took so of me in front of Cartier.. another world. The woman are beautiful and believe me the do not sweat. I did give up on the wts.. prudence told me I should live to get home even if I am stuck in the snow in NYC.. I did accost a hilltribe woman and got 4 bracelets and a frog for Sheila.. 500 bt total.. that was good. Oh.. I got on the sky way.. walked one block and found the Beautiful Optical company.. hey.. 180 bucks and I can see... they are Marie Claire who ever that is.. It is 5 after 7.. need to gather my strength to haul my stuff a half block and wait for the bus. This is no place to be if you are concerned about being clean.. b.
