Hi,
Here's a quick wrap-up of what's been happening: We engaged a driver who drove us around through some incredible neighborhoods (the unseen Chiang Rai), shopped at Big C (too much fun) where Lisa got a new phone, got a massage, had dinner at the Night Bazaar and strolled a bit. Whew. How was you day??
The song was Todd Rundgren's "Hello, It's Me" and my hat's off to those who wrote. I think this should be easy:
"__ __ __ __ __ __, And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed, nothing seems to fit." Clue: This song hasn't been sung around SoCal in a long, long time. On the other hand, we heard it in a coffe shop at Big C today. Hmm.
There's a few problems with the new phone. First, the manual, which is titled 'User Manual' is in Thai, Chinese and something else. No English. There are a few things happening that could probably be corrected if we knew what to do.
Oh, another 'Land of Smiles' example. We got coffee at this place in Big C called Black Canyon. Very swanky coffee bar with desserts, food and really strong coffee served with little crackers and Chinese tea, for after the coffee (it takes away the heavy coffee after-taste). Well, in a moment of bliss, we got up and walked out. One of the waiters came after us and with a big smile mentioned that we forgot to pay. Oh, how embarrassing. When we walked back into the place, the crew were all standing there with big grins on their faces. There was some light laughter, I paid, left a tip and it was over. There is a practice to not take pity on those who trip, goof or make mistakes like we did. The laughter soothes the whole thing and takes away the shame. Just another reason why we're here.
Have a Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
