Now today could be a bad day. You know why I think this? Well I will tell you..
Okay so I go downstairs to get some breakfast in plenty of time before I am due to get picked up. I order pancakes WITH bananas only for them to come without. Never a good start! Then my tuk tuk driver turns up 20 minutes early telling me to hurry up as the traffic to the airport is bad. This is fine if only my flight wasn't still 3 hours away.. Let me enjoy the pancakes I didn't want, god dam it!
So rushed those down, hopped upstairs (yes, knee is still being a pain!) grabbed my bag and came back down. ONLY TO SLIP AND TWIST MY ANKLE. What concerns me most right now is that the chances of me actually making it to Australia in one piece are shrinking rapidly with my recent track record!
Again, in front a crowd of people, I compose myself, and get into this tuk tuk ready to be delayed! Well 35 minutes it took us to do a 20 minutes journey. So I didn't need to choke on my pancakes in panic did I?! No. However, rush hour traffic is never good for a foreigners lungs. I feel like I've sat in a garage with the car running for the whole time. Obviously this has never happened to me, I am making an assumption that this is the equivalent to rush hour traffic in Cambodia?!
So yes, maybe up until now it hasn't been the worst day imaginable. Wait! I queued at the wrong boarding gate up until 15 minutes before my flight was due to leave and I realised I wasn't heading for Singapore! What's worse is I could see my plane, knew it was my plane and that it was attached to another door just didn't even register.. Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to travel on my own!
Finally on the plane and we get that standard 'it looks like chicken but it's fish' meal with free veg and rice. Only god knows what was really in that but either way I took a mouthful and sat quietly wishing for them to remove it from my tray as quick as they put it down.
And as if by magic I am back in Bangkok! Time for another arrivals and departure form.. I will be writing these out with my eyes closed soon!
