have not slept

My seat on this leg was at the back of the bus.  Met a very strange man at the luv at about midnight.... I could not get the door open and he kept pushing it closed and says.. it is unoccupied.... needless to say.. I one the battle and got in...  The worst part of the venture is sitting in the same underwear for 28 hrs.  But like childbirth...when next year rolls around.. I will forget the tauma.
The plane landed in another country... I walked.. road the moving walk and walked and the rode the walk and stood.. forever...  custom was fine... she stamped stamped stamped my visa.. and I was  able to fight over the folks in the front row to get the duffal.
Got money... I thought 4000 would get me through the evening.. the baht is now 28 to the dollar.   oh well;...
Why is it that no cab driver at the airport has an understanding of where we are going.. He kept trying to use my reservation form to call.. but I could not appear to be able to tell him that the first +66 is international for Thailand.   Finally .. I got him to understand... get to Khoisan and I will get you the rest of the way... so I said turn  here..turn there... and we got here;.  It as 450... but that is about what it has been ... 
I have paid for some and not for others...so when I went to check in this was a reserve but no pay.. so I left my stuff and when back to the second ATM and got cash.  When I got to the room I was able to figure out that I gave them 1000 for the key... and that $ will be returned.
So I got the room live and then was off to a massage.. some grub...and a chung.
Did I ever leave.. the same same is still here here... the massage was delicious and the massage person at the next stall looked like Chet form the next...a large flower in his hair and a plastic band holding back his very dark hair. In the middle of the massage.;..sitting on the street... a cat came over my head and started to hollow.  The restaurant was full of hookah smokers . tall tower beer drinkers and several who just wanted to be home with there mommy...and said so... 
I jumped into the cafe ...so you know I got here ok... all is well and I am off to zzzzz... and off we go.

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
