Traffic, Big C, and Language

One of the downsides of the hotel where I am staying is that the rooms do not have clocks.  I’m a pretty time disciplined guy, and I like to wake up to an alarm rather than hoping I do not over sleep.  It’s especially a concern since I don’t know if I am completely over my jet lag, and I don’t want to start waking up at noon or some other late hour. 

So yesterday, I picked up a map at the front desk and walked to a place called Big C while the hotel cleaned my room.  If I somehow end up living here for five years, I might start to get used to the traffic. At the moment however, I’ll be glad if I somehow don’t get hit by either a care or motorbike.   I’ve already have had one close call.
