Yesterday was good. I walked to the mall. Ended up regretting not taking a cab because it was pretty, but I made it there. Are at this buffet place called hot pot. They basically put a pot in front of you and you cook your own meal…. Sounds good in theory, but I really don’t know how to cook so it ended up not being the greatest. I made this same mistake in Bkk when I first got there, too. Maybe it would be fun if there was someone there to instruct me. Who knows.

Afterwards I watched a movie (The Lone Ranger) and then walked back to my hotel. Walking is much better at night when it’s cooler around here. I’ve basically spend the entire day so far inside. I feel like I should go out and do something. In all likelihood I will soon. I’m flying to Bkk tomorrow and looking forward to being back there. This surprises me.

During the movie I started to think about this time I got trapped in a song. I feel like there’s something I’m not quite grasping at this point – something important that will hopefully dawn on me soon enough. I currently feel very perplexed about what it might be. It’s also very possible that it’s something that other people just fundamentally understand and take for granted, but that for some reason I’ve had to learn the hard way. Hmm. Food for thought, I guess.

Gratitude List:
A lazy day of not doing too much
Anticipating being back in Bkk
A chance to go back to Pai
