Sorry I am a lazier typist than Christian

It is really funny- we haven't read each other's thoughts on the trip, and I just checked out what he wrote- it is surprising how often we are thinking the same thing. Like Cathay Pacific rocking, for example. (Mais en francais) I suppose you deserve more info about Bangkok. Let's see... Thais don't appear to ever hurry. Most of the men drink on the job in this neighborhood as far as I can tell. The people with their kiosks on the street sleep in front of it at night. Christian and I have recently had insomnia and went for a night-long walk and have found a woman (an excellent cook) who apparently never sleeps. When she found out Christian was a cook she shoved a spoonful of roasted fish into his unsuspecting mouth. He enjoyed it except for the fish bone that got caught momentarily in his throat. She's a real character- we have eaten at her kiosk almost daily since we got here.
