You know what's great about the Field Studies trip being 6 weeks long? It allows you to create so many memories that there will always be one more to uncover. The one I just uncovered is of myself, Bon and Kar Yan having a 100 baht bowl of bird's nest by the roadside in Bangkok's Chinatown. And for some reason, I was feeling terribly, terribly homesick that night. It must be the depressive mood of that particular Chinatown... I don't know why, but that Chinatown is so much less lively than the other ones I've been to.

There was only one other night where I felt homesick, and that was when my project group mates and I spent the first night in Mae Sai. The absence of a significant nightlife in that town came as such a shock to me, particularly since I'd been spending the nights before in the constant company of many people and many beers.

Oh, I'm still looking for the contact details of Thai buddies, Haq, Jake and Tom. If anyone has them, please leave a comment!
