You're talking to a tourist...

Currently in Chang Mai, we caught a sleeper train up from Bangkok last night which was fun. Didn't sleep well due to fear of falling off the top bunk, but the view out the window in the morning was really nice and lush.

Had been in Bangkok since Wednesday and spent most of it stumbling around randomly looking at things, including very spiffy night markets. Two things I now understand from experience:

1. What my lung specialist ment when he said "Don't spend more than about 3 days in Bangkok"

2. What a lecturer said in 2nd year when he explained the number of different departments that were responsible for road construction and development. The road map he showed really doesn't do it justice, especially when you are trying to make your way around on foot.

The food thing is still a delight- our first night in Bangkok we found a mostly vegetarian place that did very yummy tofu (thank you Lonely Planet). A bit up market, with really good service and terribly romantic in the candlelit sense. Apparently there are over 25 vegetarian places in Chang Mai, so I shan't be going hungry.

The last night in Singapore was good, we caught up with Daniel for dinner which was enjoyable. He and Simon got enthusiastic about taking photo's around the river at night. Prior to dinner we spent the early evening wandering around Chinatown which had lots and lots of mooncakes as it's now Mid-Autumn festival.

Have also learnt that Nevryn can read maps. This is useful when I can't be bothered. Looking over at his computer he's also written more than me, so go look at his blog for more details on stuff we've been doing.
