Saturday, December 30, 2006 After I wrote my last journal entry, I walked down a street in Chiang Mai towards the major temple in the City: Wat Phra Singh. There are other towns with Wats similar in the name as this. I know there is one in Chiang Rai called the same name. This took me around 10 minutes to walk over there. It wasn’t a long stroll because within the inner city, streets are fairly close together. It is when you begin to wander around outside t...

Friday, December 29, 2006 Well, I woke up again around 6:30 or so. I wanted to be sure to hit Limphini Park while people were still exercising in the morning. I wanted to see the people doing Tai Chi. I hurried and bought a B35 pastry from the hotel and went down to the Nana skytrain station, took it to Asok where I got onto the Metro system bound for Limphini Park.

I got measured for a suit that I'm going back for right now to get a second measuring. Sitting on a long flight is painful. Too much to do. Goodbye.

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006  So, after sleeping on the seats at the airport, I took a taxi into town.  There were companies that tried to get me to take their services but after finding out the prices—Yikes!  I wanted to really take one of the cheap buses into town but I figured on just taking a taxi because I needed to go to the train station.  I’m sure that one of the buses went there but because it was my first day, I just de...
