We left Medford international Airport (with a total of 3 gates) and arrived at one with over 200!
Incheon South Korea. It was a zoo.
The food was pretty good on the plane, and the girls serving it were downright pretty and pleasant.
They all looked like they were whelped out of the same litter though. All of them looked exactly the same.
Some nice guy gave us a lift in a golf cart sort of apparatus through a long tunnel and that saved us a hump with our gear into the unknown.
I nodded in and out of sleep as anya's sister was nice enough to fetch us from the airport once we got to Bangkok (about a 40 minute ride.)
I walked to the temple a couple of tiimes today, and tried to stave off my jet lag. Me and the girls went to get some stuff for the house.
There was a food court, but I am pretty frigging spoiled.
That is how it is when you are married to a thai cook... I ain't complaining. though.
The soup was pretty good, got some cold drinks and saw some smiling faces.
I walked up to some guys near the temple docks and they said "Where is your unit?"
I looked at my crotch and looked at them and said "what?"
Then I realized that they thought I was military.
I had on all of my knockabout gear which is surplus, because it is cheap, and it lasts a long time.
I let them know I was just a civilian and was taking a walk for my vacation. they seemed to understand.
I gave them a respectful goodbye, and they did same.
We had a great thai Barbecue at the house (which is where you have a clay pot filled with charcoal and cook squid and crab etc.)
I am lucky because Anya is a fluent english speaker, and her Little sister Pim Is nearly so.
Little sister Paew is learning english and can converse pretty well.
Big sister Kaew, not a lick of english, but she gets along on smiles and kindness.

You'll all be relieved to know that there are several varieties of liquor. You can have red cock, or really get crazy and opt for a pint of Black Cock.
Later on I walked off the dinner and hit the temple grounds for a gigantic festival that is in the works.
There was a monumental hatch of bugs that must have been in the hundreds of thousands.
what a day
