A third blog? A good idea? A fresh start? A disaster? An omen? ...who knows anything? |
If someone had told me I’d be posting this from an apartment 32 storeys high in Bangkok I’d probably never have believed them. But then a lot of my life events could never have been anticipated, particularly over the last couple of decades. And still the bizarre and unexpected continue. I guess I should be grateful in some ways it’s not a boring existence. Thailand is much as I envisaged it, though that doesn’t mean I feel confident or able to cope with everything. The grand monsters take everything in their stride and seem fearless, but then they are well travelled creatures and used to Asia, Their main concerns are food, WiFi and what times the swimming pools are open, but I guess that’s pretty normal. We’ve had some incidents and accidents along the way, some very funny and others rather scary. I won’t say it’s relaxing or orderly, but certainly interesting and unpredictable and I’m pleased that I can still embrace new experiences with an open mind. So far I’ve witnessed traditional ceremonies in the quietest, poorest rural areas and now the manic hustle and bustle of a crazy city. To be continued...hopefully. |
