Crap

I leave tomorrow.

The only good thing about it is that I have basically overspent my budget and can't eat if I want to keep my 500 Baht airport tax and so get out of the country.

I hope all the must-sees are free or 30 Baht or less - I think they are. They're all in walking distance.

The pingpong show was extremely disturbing. Ping pong balls weren't the half of it. There was opening bottles. Disturbing. Shooting darts at balloons metres away. Very disturbing. That woman could be some kind of hardcore assassin if she so desired.

It's amazing how many people you meet when you travel on your own. Found myself at dinner with five strangers, and only 2 of them could speak English. One could speak Hebrew and Amharic, which is the main language in Ethiopia. He was from Ethiopia. Everyone was surprised that I went there, and thought me a little insane, and I explained I went for a woman, and then they thought I was more insane.

I showed them the picture of me eating the cockroach and that trumped any possible belief in my sanity.

The only problem with travelling on your own is that everything is more expensive. I like my own company, primarily because I'm quite amusing, if only to myself, so that's fine, but it means not being able to share taxis or rooms, which quickly add up to expensive. Which is why I'm now broke.

I lost two bracelets on this trip, both of which I purchased on this trip, and both of which I lost the day after purchasing for various reasons. The first I blame on the latch, and the second I blame on the Bucket of Joy.

I found the exact same two in the same shop and went for the second one I bought, and bargained it down to 100 Baht, instead of the 150 I paid last time, so all in all I paid the asking price of 250 Baht. Stupid. I hope I don't lose it. I should put it in my bag. But I won't. Instead I'll lose it.
