More fun...When I eat light veggies I have less concern about the functioning of the toilet. Today is not one of those days so I must be creative in getting the toilet to function. I am very grateful for being me since the is a way and I have will. Also i might just stop eating until they find a plumber with parts.
Tomorrow I will get the opener for the compound gate so I can ride to the mountain at 6:30 to see if can see the monk procession .
Off to the flower festival. This is a big deal in Chaingmai with many flowers, floats, and fabulously beautiful people. The are 2 queens this year, a Thai and a non Thai. Word has it that American, Canada, Australian, Chinese, etc., were in the mix. Interesting to see who they selected.
In my view, many Americans look like cookies cut out of a magazine. Blondie, straight hair tank top and short with a cell phone texting about what they think they are seeing. Few have real cameras but are taking shots of others and self shots. The pubs are full of potential hook ups populated with young beer drinkers.
The rest of the toilet story. Neighbor Nelson said let me look at it. So he took the toilet apart with my tools and we found the water line plugged with paper. Cleaned it all out and put it back together and.....flush away. Ah

I'm a bit late writing this, but I reread this entry, and was struck by your observations about American tourists. I have also noticed, in my travels, how the American kids, surrounded by some of the most interesting and beautiful sights in the world, are most intent on taking photos with their phones of themselves in the foreground (selfie) and the "sight" in the background. They are texting about what they are seeing, but I always wonder if they are really seeing anything. So self-involved. I guess that's one of the gifts of the technological age. Sad.
Oh, and glad your toilet is fixed ;-)
