Another day closer to leaving Thailand. Such mixed emotions about it all. On the one hand I’m really ready to go. I can’t stay here forever and I have no intention of finding a job here. It’s been great being here, but change and uncertainty are always a bit daunting. It’ll be good though. Plus, I’m wicked excited about being back in Hong Kong.

Today was a really wonderful day. I’m so grateful for today. I was looking at the bikes near the front desk earlier and asked the woman if I could just take one. She held up her hand in the universal “just one second” and then disappeared into the building. A couple minutes later she comes outside with a mountain bike. The other bikes would have been alright for a short, slow ride, but not nearly as much fun as a mountain bike. I ended up biking down this road that runs along the beach and it was so wonderful. I haven’t been biked in so long and there’s nothing better than being out on a bike feeling the wind and enjoying the day. The scenery was also beyond beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better activity today. Round trip the bike ride ended up being around 30 miles so I was pretty tired by the time I got back. I’ll certainly sleep well tonight!
