Cry more?

These past few blogs that have chronicled my Chiang Mai Redux really have been an exercise in feeling sorry for myself. This probably has a little to do with frustration and narcotic withdrawal but it doesn't make them anymore readable.

With a little luck, there will be a return to informative form once I return home...not to mention my Thesaurus, apparently, judging by this last sentence. I might even blog everything that has happened between 12th October (ish...I think; Chiang Saen, anyway) and the return to Chiang Mai on 23rd November. Wouldn't that be helpful?!

For now, some new pictures will have to do.

Some other day.

Because the USB reader here is a dud.

Damn dirty ape.

love,

Picture 1 - Of course, I'm going to start with my dearest. Looking a little strung out, after working non-stop for the past month. A day after this was taken, we were in Si Saket.


Picture 2 - This is Jane. Jane like mans. Lots of mans. Every night. A couple years younger than Meaw - as well as being another Si Saket girl, and her cousin - Jane somehow finds the energy to go out dancing and drinking until 5am (after leaving work at 2am) every night, keep as many boyfriends as there are days in the wee-, er, month and draw a steady stream of desperate men who care nothing for the health of their wotsit. Frankly, I think she looks a little beat up. It's probably all the cocaine she takes, to keep her conscious. She a nice girl, though. When she's not telling Meaw to dump me for someone rich. She also lives in the 1980s.














Picture 3 - Here are three more of Meaw's relatives, working at the massage shop with her, younger than her and even myself. The one in denim is Joy who is internet savvy and a groper. She got drunk at the shop last night, when a customer bought her booze (it was piss-weak Heineken but these Thais can't hold their drink). Big 'sister' Meaw was not amused. The one on the right is Gao, who also got drunk. Can you see where I going here? The other one's name I cannot remember - something beginning with S - but I did meet her grandmother in Cambodia, who promised to be our guide around Angkor Wat next year. Which is nice.
















Picture 4 - A random Thai chap who walked in front of Meaw's shot. Awesome!



Picture 5 - No, you cannot keep it. She's mine, dog! ...That black thing in her hands is a puppy, by the way. In case there was some confusion...
















Picture 6 - Serious business.
