Here I am, after one night in Bangkok. We arrived at 6am yesterday morning, and after a brief nap at one grungier guest house, Bryce and I moved into more respectable digs elsewhere on Khao San Road.

I have two more nights here, and them fly out to Hong Kong. Once the Chinese government lets me in, the plan is to head up to Beijing to check in on Nicki and see how her Mandarin is coming along.

I'm not sure what the temperature is here, but the air con system in my room claims that it is a chilly 25C inside.
