Hey everybody! I’m heading residence later this week. Woohoo! I’ve been away for nearly 6 weeks and am anxious to get residence. Journey is enjoyable, however I’m utterly worn out. We spent the primary 3 weeks touring round Japan. It was exhausting, however we had a good time. After that, RB40Jr and I flew to Thailand to go to my dad. He’s constructing a home in Bang Saen, a seashore city.
Sadly, there was a ton of delay with the development. Apparently, contractors are the identical in all places. Every thing was alleged to be executed earlier than we arrive. I hoped to remain at our seashore shack, however we needed to keep in a resort as a substitute. Low cost lodges in Thailand have horrible beds. I’ve again ache from sleeping in these arduous beds. We might keep in a nicer resort, however this one is true subsequent to our home. It’s probably the most handy place to remain.
We haven’t executed a lot in Thailand. We went to go to households and explored the native space. It was enjoyable, however fairly low-key. Principally, we spent a number of time on the seashore and going out to eat.
That is Khoa Sam Muk, a hill close by with many monkeys. They behaved fairly properly and didn’t trouble us a lot. It was neat to see so many monkeys roaming round.
My dad bought durian and an enormous bag of mangosteen from a roadside vendor. One durian value about $12. Durians are fairly costly today as a result of they’re common in China. Mangosteen was extra inexpensive. They’re my favourite fruits. In case you see mangosteen on the market, make sure to attempt them out. They don’t ship properly and I solely eat them once I’m in Thailand.
The Bang Saen Aquarium. This aquarium has been right here for a few years. I visited a number of instances once I was younger. They improved tremendously through the years. It’s a neat place to go to once you’re on the town.
Lastly, we obtained RB40Jr a pair of spare glasses. It value $58 whole. That is means cheaper than his present glasses. The one we obtained within the US value $200 after insurance coverage. Earlier than insurance coverage, it might have value $600. The price of residing is fairly loopy at residence.
Alright, we’re on the point of go residence. I simply have to get a haircut ($3) and choose up some native snacks to carry residence. Subsequent week, we’ll get again to the repeatedly scheduled private finance posts. I can’t write about private finance whereas I’m on trip. My head simply isn’t into it.
I hope you’re having an amazing summer time. I heard back-to-school gross sales already began. Summer season is dwindling shortly. Take pleasure in it when you can!
