Three days traveling and I think we're getting the hang of it. I can do this for two months. 1 sort of scam, a suit for Colin, A dress in cream that I'm still worried about and lots of food.

About food: I've eaten mostly amazingly good surprises, but it seems that the more we pay for food the more likely we are to get sick. We've eaten great grilled chicken, grilled plantains, noodle soup and spicy curry all off the street for less than 2 dollars, but when we go to a Lonely Planet named Indian restaurant that tasted quite good, I vomit until I can fall asleep. Tonight we had Thai hotpot by the side of the road; good but more expensive than I expected. Now it's Colin who had to leave the internet Cafe to get back to our peaceful cool guesthouse.

We get visas and get out of Bangkok on Thursday night!

-Editorial note- Colin did not get sick from the food but from the pollution, heat and lack of water. I also had that the night before so when he left the cafe I didn't know what he meant by "i have what you had last night." So officially I am still the only one to have gotten sick from food anywhere.

I'm sure the dress will be great. I'll bring lots od safety pins just in case you loose a bunch of weight on your journey!
Did the message from your host family say they are going to come to the wedding? Antonio called - he wantsto come (he is studying in Barcelona this year) He sounded very good and grown up (duh). I keep forgetting to call Maggie. When should we expect the wedding duds?

More info Ariel. I did not even know that you left Taiwan. And now you are Bankcock, Tailand? How did you get their?

Be liken unto a flowing spring gushing forth from the fertile plain. Fill the air with the myriad droplets of your wisdom so that they may catch the sunlit spendor of the day, and, thus divided into their multitudinous rainbow colors, they will serve to suffuse the world and its peoples with splendor and beauty

or something like that.

If you write at night, forget all the above.

I must correct my speling and grammore. I meant to say:

And now you are in Bangcock, Thailand? How did you get there?

I also should clarify the statement, "If you write at night, forget all the above". Because at night, the droplets of your wisdom cannot catch the sunlit splendor (antoher spelling correction) of the day. That's because there is no sun at night, in case you have not noticed.

Over and out
