random thoughts and bits of information

#1: my bedroom is the hottest place on earth. there is no escaping the heat, and this makes sleeping, resting, putting on mascara and dancing naked in the dark nearly impossible.

#2: i went to phuja last night (www.phujanirvana.com) and i think i am in love. this place is so relaxed, so loungy, so nice to go and curl up on the nice beds with a friend, a drink and some damn good music. nice work phuket...and to keep the prices reasonable...i am highly impressed.

#3: i had my first experience at the woman doctor in a goverment hospital in thailand on monday. i am still trying to get a full night's sleep. picture every sign being in thai, being the only farang, having to change in a closet (literally) with two other women, and having to check in to the office in a small room where everyone can hear what is wrong with you. i am forever a changed woman.

#4: i found a new phone i am going to treat myself to at the end of this contract. it's red, it lights up all pretty, and it will be mine. (http://www.nokia-asia.com/nokia/0,,63143,00.html)

#5: i have decided that it is okay if i don't stay until the end of my contract next year. i am going to stay in thailand until it no longer suits me, and i feel that to be fast approaching. next destination: woodstock, vermont.
