Spent the day really just in my room thinking about louds of things and not really having much energy which is normal after those crazy long train rides. Time in the room isn't so bad though mainly due to the fact that the holiday means room choices are limited and my usual fan rooms where full. So I have a nice A/C room with a balcony view of a small canal and buildings. Not the worst thing that could be outside my window.

     So after spending a few hours just lazying about the hotel I wondered out for a bit to eat and wondered Khao san rd a bit looking for something that caught my interesy but soon found myself frankly just bored. It was probably bound to happen considering I'd really just been there but getting here any later would have been a nightmare as things are already getting crazy here with preparations. So I hit the room again and waited a bit until it was a reasonable time to go out and decided to deal with my slightly depressed mood the way the rest of the world does and I've just recently learned to... Drink.

       Nows here where the night should have turned into me just sitting alone pounding a few away for the night to complete the cliche. But things tend to work out for me and right on cue my friend from the train comes strolling by and I motioned for him to come over and he joined me for a drink. Spent an hour or so at the place on khao san before moving a street over to a restaurant wher his gf worked and started again. Much more mellow spot with less extremely loud music with great people watching potential. Had too many, went out and did something dumb and called it a night. Leaving it there.
