Sunday, February 18th 2007 Bangkok
Well, Happy New Year of the Fire Pig. I hope it's a great one for you.
Had brunch late morning with Donna and Marc at their lovely home on Sukhumvit Soi 30. While I'm waiting for the door to open on the 10th floor of their building which is their floor, I check out all the artifacts decorating the area outside their door leading to the elevator. They have accumulated so many lovely things since moving here. Their house is beautifully decorated. If they indeed manage to leave this year for a transfer to North America, their move will be a big one.
It was lovely to catch up with them and we spent a leisurely few hours together. Donna prepared lovely food and it's nice to just spend a few hours talking about life. Ray, Marc's older brother is arriving tonight at 10pm so we'll meet up a bit later this week to do something together.
Bangkok is still remarkably quiet. Donna tells me that because of the Chinese New Year many Thais have gone outside of Bangkok. However, Chinese New Year is not big out here. If you go to Chinatown of course you will see a lot of festivities. But right out here at Sukhumvit 24 it's rather quiet.
Bye for now
