Thoughts.com Blogs - It's turning into a lazy Sunday!

Well, I have successfully been into town and navigated the transport there and back without a problem, yay! Things are starting to make more sense now, and getting from A to B is definately less of a chore!

I miss having a car so much more here than I did when I was lving in India. Well no, I guess I haven't had a car for more than a year and coped fine, so what I miss is having a taxi driver I can just call up and get to come and collect and drop me wherever, whenever. Today walking around the mall I had to be so carefuly how much stuff I picked up, so that I would be able to get int all home on the bus, what a pain!! What a crazy town I live in without any tuk tuks or taxis! Yes, we have motorbike taxis all over the place, but if I cant carry it on the bus, I cant balance it on the back of a bike with me either! I wonder if I will end up getting my own scooter, then at least I have the seat compartment space and handle bars! But then there is the issue of getting a Thai drivers licence, which sounds like a ball ache, so probably not!

I was thinking about heading back into town again later to pick up some more stuff, but honestly don't think that is going to happen, it'll wait until tomorrow now! I think Im going to spend this afternoon napping and watching the TV while I wait for the football at 9pm my time, come on united!! I do need to pop to the local shop for more water, and I will at some point write a big long list of all the things I need to do at some point. Now I have most things organised that I need to be immediately comfortable, but there is still lots of little bits and pieces that I need to do to be really settled.

I managed to top up my phone, but have since phoned my Mum and spent all my credit, doh! I was damn expensive, about a fiver for a fifteen min conversation, so another thing i need to work out is international phone cards! I will put on some more credit when i buy water.

I still need to write my emails and do my Thai learning. I did buy lots of coloured paper, so I am going to make lovely flash cards to help me learn!

Just having a lazy SUnday issue though, I have been out done what needed doing and now want to do just nothing. I think I'm maybe putting a brave face on loneliness. I can't wait until more western teachers arrive, and until one of the Thai's in our team moves apartments to one in my building, so I have people close by to hang around with. I'm spending far too much time in this room watching TV, but its the easy option, and I do want the batteries recharged for next week at work!

OK, enough ramble for now...............
