Hey everybody! I’m heading dwelling later this week. Woohoo! I’ve been away for nearly 6 weeks and am anxious to get dwelling. Journey is enjoyable, however I’m fully 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 seaside city.
Sadly, there was a ton of delay with the development. Apparently, contractors are the identical in all places. Every thing was speculated to be completed earlier than we arrive. I hoped to remain at our seaside shack, however we needed to keep in a resort as a substitute. Low cost resorts in Thailand have horrible beds. I’ve again ache from sleeping in these laborious beds. We may 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 completed a lot in Thailand. We went to go to households and explored the native space. It was enjoyable, however fairly low-key. Mainly, we spent lots of time on the seaside and going out to eat.
That is Khoa Sam Muk, a hill close by with many monkeys. They behaved fairly effectively and didn’t hassle us a lot. It was neat to see so many monkeys roaming round.
My dad bought durian and a giant bag of mangosteen from a roadside vendor. One durian value about $12. Durians are fairly costly nowadays as a result of they’re standard in China. Mangosteen was extra inexpensive. They’re my favourite fruits. In the event you see mangosteen on the market, remember to attempt them out. They don’t ship effectively and I solely eat them after I’m in Thailand.
The Bang Saen Aquarium. This aquarium has been right here for a few years. I visited a number of occasions after I was younger. They improved tremendously over time. It’s a neat place to go to once you’re on the town.
Lastly, we acquired RB40Jr a pair of spare glasses. It value $58 complete. That is means cheaper than his present glasses. The one we acquired 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 dwelling.
Alright, we’re on the point of go dwelling. I simply have to get a haircut ($3) and choose up some native snacks to convey dwelling. 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 a terrific summer time. I heard back-to-school gross sales already began. Summer season is dwindling shortly. Get pleasure from it when you can!
