Back to Bangkok

I awoke early, or maybe it is that I never slept at all?! I looked in the mirror and saw two glassey eyes staring back at me, though it was as if they belonged to a different head, cause mine felt like it was detached from my body. Why is it that I always get sick at the end of my holidays? Probably because all of you want me to come home? No worries there, I do not plan on staying in Thailand, and welcome the thought of the cold wet pacific northwest. I returned to Bangkok, reluctantly. When I got here though, I didn't feel as overwhelmed as I did the first time. And Khaosan, was brillant and exciting. Seeing the diversity of the tourists, and all the thai market stalls, and cheap phad thai....it kinda felt like I was one step closer to home. I wasn't but a block from where I desided to stay when I ran into Kat. Kat, whom I had met in Ko Phangan! It was like see an old friend! We exchanged hugs, and committed to sharing as much of our last hours in Thailand as possible. We went and saw What Po, ran earrands, went shopping at the night market, and Siam Square, and Khaosan, and finally sat down to have a beer and her last Pad Thai. So there we sat, eating Phad Thai, being served by a lady boy, drinking our Singha, being harrassed by street vendors, and thinking...same same...but different. (the slogan of Thailand). Yes, it has indeed been a good holiday.
I leave today, which is a good thing. I have in my head composed two lists, which I plan on posting once I return home...where internet is already paid for (though the air conditioning feels good, and I haven't sweat for over an hour now). Off to the street market to pick up some last minute gifts and such, and soak up all that is thailand. AH, I look forward to seeing you all. I know I have said it before, but I must say it again. I love each and everyone of you. You all have enriched my life, and I hope you know how greatful I am, and how blessed I feel. Much love, see you soon
