Double whammy
Getting lunch at McDonald’s and they accidentally gave me a second vanilla cone! That’s a lot to eat, but I don’t mind. :)
“ Is the pool hydrated?

“ Hope the lights come on in 10 minutes so I can watch Star Trek.
— Panda, during the blackout Wednesday night after an electrical transformer exploded on Glenrock. You can see where his priorities lie!
Impatient tourist
Whenever I am traveling on my own, I tend to walk fast and get impatient with people who get in my way. Then I get unhappy with the people who get in the way of the photos I’m trying to take. I also don’t like when they talk loudly and at all the wrong moments.
So then I tailgate them waiting for an opening to slip through, hold my camera ready for the moment they leave right before the next group gets in my way, and strain my ears trying to make sense of what I’m trying to pay attention to. Being alone you can really be ignored and invisible at times. :(
Unintentional stalker
There’s this random guy I met when we were on the airport shuttle in Phuket. He goes to a hotel, I go to my hostel.
The next night, I’m on my top bunk and see him walk in. o.O
He then went off to Phi Phi Island. I left Phuket for Bangkok, then Hong Kong.
In HK, I happen upon a little restaurant with cheap food for dinner. I am finishing my meal when he walks in. ?!?
Might I add he wore the same shirt this whole time. Oh, and he never noticed me. I also feel like there was one other time I ran into him, but I can’t remember.
Weird, huh?
Good jasmine tea

- w: [points to first one, something jasmine balls] This one is very good.
- m: Ok, but what's it like?
- w: [points to second one, "silver jasmine"] This one is also good.
- m: -____- Yes, but what's the difference?
- w: [points to first one again] Do you want this one?
- m: You're not telling me what the difference is. x.X
- Wasn't that a useful conversation?
Turning point
I’ve decided to stop importing my blog feed and use this purely for the small commentary and stories I want to share that don’t quite make it as a blog entry, but require more than Twitter.
Airports reimagined »
Bangkok Airport: it’s like a robot caterpillar.
It first occurred to me as the bus was pulling away from the airport in Bangkok that it made no sense why the departure gates are so nice…
