First, this is a Buddhist day and the bars are not serving...can you imagine that. Kroad and no brew. We ordered lunch today..Curry, cashews and a tall Chang and the woman said...only small and then brought me a coffee cup and poured the beer in it....When I ordered the second one, she again poured it in the cup and then put the bottle on the floor. So tonight, when we walked to a Krd bar, no beer is served because it is a holiday. I had been to the Wat earlier and made merit by walking around the outside and then getting incense, candle, flower. I walked about and then came back to put the candle on the spot and couldn't get it to stay and then knocked someone else's candle off and then the guy said...put it in with the incense.. which I did and then put the incenses in with the incense and was left holding the candle...I went in to see what others were doing with the candle and saw that some of the folks were getting to the font... but I did not have the ability so I took it outside and was about to give it back to the seller when I found a pail for them. I think that was punishment for the beer. W found a public Internet and when I went to sit down the woman in the next chair felt that I was rude to her when I asked her to pull her chair in....20 bt doesn't give you the right to be rude... and then said that if I continued, she would put my head on the keyboard. I thought it was rather funny to think of two grey haired women in BKK getting it on in the back road of the Internet. I was then humming which also did not set well... She is chatting on an IM and I guess I am not her type since her site is gay.com... oh well... no more beers on Buddha day.
We have had an interesting day otherwise....a good massage earlier and then toes and fingers..and then face. I also got to go the long way on the river boat... it is a long way. On the way back a little girl say on my lap and watched the water...finally had my first sticky rice and mango and also a mango lasse since no beer. This is the last night and I hope to take a look at the pictures and maybe use my puter to put some of the shots that I have taken here in BKK. I am not sure if I am happy to be coming home or not.. I will get back into the swing of things and there is several things to do...but I like the sun and the massage and just ambling about ...
As you might have heard a boat lost it's bottom on HaLong Bay.... and two AM appear to have lost their life. The boyfriends had to identify the bodies... when we heard the incident, we were concerned that whoever is reading this might have thought we were still there... fortunately, we were not. They leave a hammer in the roam and there were life preservers but I think I might have perished if the bottom fell of the boat and I was in bed sleeping and disoriented and non swimmer. Must be I was saving myself for the grumpy woman to threaten me with a smack to the keyboard. When she left, I said...be well... she got to the end to the line... and then turned back... thought I was still in for a smack...
If you have ever been in one of these... there 7 puters in 4 lines.. many people taking on snipe ( in several languages)...and one is crying that she is lonely and alone and out of money and and ....etc.. and banging the keyboards. I am not sure where she got it...but I think she also got a brew on Buddha Day... If you never hear from me again, it is because she is waiting for me in the bushes. oh well. Tomorrow a couple more massage...one oil... and more ambling about. It is full moon and the full moon ceremony is tomorrow. We have to take the airport bus at 9 so we can get our gear and get organized... enough.... it is 9...and time for a 7/11 stop... (for a brew)
