Chiang Mai, actually

I'm back in C. Mai. The longer I spend in Thailand, the more I feel like I've come home after 6 months of studying in Singapore. There was an earthquake in C. Mai a few days ago, but I'm here now and so far, no aftershocks or tremors. I'm sure the geographers amongst you would love to be here when a mild quake happens.

I took the train here, second class upper bunk. The one we were supposed to take to come up during FS but couldn't because of the flash floods. Eh. It was a less than comfortable experience but a valuable one nonetheless. What was supposed to be a 12 hour trip turned into a 15 hour one because of train delays. I was about ready to strangle somebody when I got off. I'm sure I'm exaggerating, but let's see... how do I best describe it? I think it would have been far more comfortable if I had opted to take the lower bunk instead of the upper one. I got blueblacks climbing up and down my bunk... I'm sure the guys who've gone through army would call me a n00b, but yeah, at least I managed to fall asleep, at least. Oh, and I forgot to take my toothbrush out of my backpack so yeah... I couldn't brush my teeth, which was quite disgusting.

Well I'm here now... going to meet up with Fye sometime over the next few days. I'm also considering doing a one-day trek in Doi Inthanon and things I didn't manage to do during FS.

I was in BKK for three nights before this, stayed at Suk11 again. Shyuan was there for the last two nights that I was there, and I managed to go shopping with her yesterday. I actually wanted to stay on in BKK for another night or so, so I could club and head to Chatuchak today, but Suk11 was full. Also, was initially supposed to meet Tom because he's doing his job training in BKK now, but he had to do OT so we didn't manage to meet up.

Thailand isn't the same without you people here.
