Sucesses!

Basically, the last few days lately have been made of success at all fronts. 

1) Bought a temporary cellphone.  That may not seem like much, but I was able to find, pick out, and understand most of the directions the good people at Jay-Mart gave me while only using Thai. 

2) I called a teacher at the A.U.A in Chiang Mai, and she has agreed to tutor me one-on-one three days a week.  Hopefully, this will help my Thai immensely.  

3) I decided to travel around the city in search of a bookstore.  I was able to find Suriwong Book Center and after searching through the Religions section, I found a book on Ajan Lee in Thai.  I always need more sources in Thai. 

4) I also decided to throwaway my anxiety about my smell (see the previous post) and I went to a place called The Monkey Bar.  I sat down at the bar and ended up talking to a guy, in both Thai and English, about a variety of subjects, including American Football and Soccer.  He kept pouring me Johnny Walker Black Label from his bottle.  I drank enough to be fun but not so much that I did anything stupid.  The Perfect Whiskey Equilibrium.

Tonight, I might stop by the Sunday Night Market near the Tha Phae Gate and see what is around.
