New Home
Well, I have a home for the next month. Picked out a hostel that looked out, booked it for a month and this morning packed up and walked on over (its only a few blocks away from where I was staying). Paid 4800 bhat ($145) for a room with a fan (no A/C), a double bed and internet for a month. It also has a hot shower (supposedly) and tv that I cant get to work. But the location is good, and its pretty cheap for a month, so I'll take it. The mattress is really hard, hoping I get used to that. My bathroom is actually through another door out the back of my room. Like I open a door onto a balcony with just a sink, and then another door on the balcony into my bathroom. So I have to go outside to get to my toilet and shower, but its outside on a balcony only I can get too through my room. Kinda weird but whatever. There were also about 500 mosquitoes in here when I moved it, but I'm hoping its just because someone left the balcony door open last night and not because there is a nest or something in my room. I have killed 37 today (not an exaggeration) and there are still a few loose ones floating around, thought I think I got most of them. I'll let you know if I wake up and there are a bunch more in the room. Also finally got to unpack my suitcase for the first time in Asia, which was exciting...now I just have to do something about the dirty laundry...

Merry and Shanti, Mike! I'm at home with Gram and Aunt Kate who are here for our traditional Christmas Breakfast, Unfortunately, Pa is not feeling well. So happy that you have "unpacked" and will now have a spot to call your home. Aunt Kate wants to know if you have taught the kids how to play solitaire yet...We're thinking of starting a triple game now. Glad to hear you are well and we love you so much. What a wonderful life, ah? xxoo Ohn
