Do It

Hi,
Two of you knew the song. One of you suggested the artists in question. The odds aren't looking too good. What?
"I ought to stay around and love you Do you think I have a case? Let me ask you to your face: Do you think you love me?
__ __ __ __ __!" Hint: There was a very successful TV show around this family, and one in a pear tree.
Well, Wednesday night we all went to the Night Bazaar for dinner. There was Blue, Clifford, Derrick plus the two of us. We went to our hangout by the big stage. It was more crowded than usual. There seem to be a lot of tours in town. Anyway, midway through dinner, a group of dancers took to the stage. These are usually students who have been practicing traditional Thai and Chinese dances. This time things were different. I mentioned to Lisa that they'd gone to a new level in their costumes. Long red skirts with very high slits up the side showing more than 'traditional' leg. Blue leaned in and informed us that these girls were not really girls at all. After a few double takes, we began to watch the rest of the crowd. It seemed as though nobody had a clue. These young women are accepted culturally and none of the Thais gave it any special attention. Then it started to rain and our evening was cut short.
Today it was still raining until mid day. We finally went out for lunch, DVDs and to do some pricing. Tomorrow we get the last of our 'stuff'. The one thing that really needs attention is, the internet. If we don't get it hooked up by Monday, I'll be sending this from a cafe, or maybe the WiFi at the hotel. We went to Big C again and checked out sheets (got some brown ones for the big bed), and assorted stuff everyone needs.
Speaking of the hotel, we've been having breakfast in the hotel every morning. It's free and it's comfortable. We've made friends with one of the servers. Her name is Melee and she always makes sure we have coffee, and checks to see if I've eaten my food (didn't eat much one morning). For the last few weeks, she's been asking us questions, mostly in Thai, with a little English. It's been fun communicating with her. She was a trainee. In fact, the whole breakfast crew was made up of trainees. Tonight was her first night serving dinner. I guess they all 'graduated' because we had a brand new crew this morning.
It's getting late so I'll go. There are new pics up. Tomorrow I'll explain who our friends are. I just realized you don't know. Oh well. Now you'll have to come back. (Ha)

Peace,
Danny
