Bangkok can't blog

So I’ve been gone to Bangkok for the last couple of days, if you’re wondering why I’ve been so quiet.  In case you weren’t wondering why I’ve been so quiet that doesn’t change where I was.

Lots of things to talk about but I’m not sure if I want to talk about all of them.  Lets just start by saying it was fun.  Drank a lot (too much) talked a lot and saw why people should not be drunk continuously.  Had some great food (the Thais know how to make food so well, its so unfair.  It just makes me so aware that though the Singaporeans might be good at a lot of things they aren’t very good at cooking).

I always consider street food a good measurement of how good people in a country can cook.  Yes, everybody with enough money and a few good connections can start a good restaurant, import a good cook and offer great food, but if the street food in a country is good that demonstrates far more about their culinary skills.

Street food in Thailand is brilliant.  We ate so much.  If we weren’t drinking, we were eating and quite often we were doing them at the same time (though admittedly it is quite difficult to chew your food when you have a beer bottle in your mouth.)

I think I’m still hung over.  Or is that depressed?  I’m not sure, I’m listless, unfocused and groggy.  Is that hung over or depressed?  I’ll just say its hung over as that will go away in a couple of hours.

Hypothetically if I were depressed than where would that come from?  Probably from the job that I hypothetically don’t like very much.  I’m still having serious hypothetical trouble settling into this hypothetical hell hole.  Hypothetically I imagine me moving over to write technical manuals for another department isn’t helping a whole hypothetical lot.  I just hope I get to play around with the newest machines that haven’t been released for the public yet (the hypothetical future models, if you will).

I think I’ll just write some more later.  I have a lot of catching up writing to do, as there really are some cool things to tell, I think I just need to get over my hang over first. 

(I just realised I didn’t drink a drop yesterday)
