Day 15 (Northern Thailand)

We went out and walked around I've got a very high tolerance for random strolling. My dad who was hauling way to much shit, even after we checked all three suitcases at the hotel, doesn't. We walked around for about 20 minutes before he broke down and said we need a plan. The response let's walk around didn't seem to be sufficient. The plan then became lets go to the airport and see if we can get an earlier flight, well that wasn't going to happen its' booked, so now we're waiting at the airport and I'm catching up on this journal. I'm starting to feel like Doogie Howser with all this typing.

We stoped in at an internet cafe and I tried to check my email, something is/was fucked up and so I've got no email. I spent 45 mintues (that I had to pay for) trying to figure it out before my dad got tired of it (for once his hotmail account worked fine). For the next couple of hours I was in a sulking mood that I wanted to try to blame on the fucked up mail server. After we walked around for a while and my dad when back to the hotel to get a Thai massage I sat out on the curb watched the traffic and people go by and did some thinking.

Major conclusions:

  • A new goal is to move to Thailand and work for a year
  • I need to get my other goals out of the way (riding cross country and going to Spain)
  • Work no matter how much I enjoy it at times is not and end it's a means to do the other things in life.
  • That I really am glad that I got to know Mr. Larson, he's been a major influence on my future plans. Hopefully the people up in Portland will be appreciate him.
  • I need to spend time just sitting and watching people more frequently, especially when I get in a sulking mood. Any kind of reflection like that always helps me, that's one of the big things I like about cycling, plenty of time to just sit there and think.

On an highly unrelated note, remind me to go find some China Dolls mp3s, they sound like good asian pop.
