Give me boots! Let’s get going!
There is no place for indifference
Time to quit this stupid job!
Inspired by this blog post and comment from DD
Today I’m feeling:
A little dizzy but happy. After difficulty getting to sleep I enjoyed a deep long rest but the morning light woke me up way before my alarm.
I checked the map and it was going to be a hassle to get into the city to the bookshop so I showered and got going.
Despite needing 4 different trains it didn’t take as long as I was expecting and I’m enjoying my first coffee of the day now.
Today I’m grateful for:
Arwith coming to meet me at the bookshop this morning. I bought books for myself and he for his kids.
We grabbed some great vegetarian lunch at MQuarter but the malls were a bit too upmarket for us to buy gifts.
After that I caught a train to Mo Chit and now braving the bus to the airport. It’s airconned though so not so bad.
The best thing about today was:
Finding some good books at Dasa. More to add to the pile.
Something I learned today?
As with yesterday I learned more about getting around Bangkok. I feel like I used to feel while visiting London, nice to visit but not to live.

I found a small present for Amy at the airport.
It’s actually hard to find things for her as she can just buy whatever she wants (within reason of course) but this time I thought that I should at least bring something back so I found a nice pandan snack at the airport.
I also found a gratitude word search book that I will give to Baipad but first I want to see if there is anything inside that I can use for my grade 8 classes too.
Did you do something difficult or challenging today?
Getting around in Bangkok transit was a bit of a challenge and annoyed me at first but as trains were fairly regular and I considered the cost, it started to feel more comfortable.
