15 December 2006


This morning i went for a 2 hour walk again in Lumpinee Park. If I don't walk too fast it is do-able for me :-) Then I thought i saw a crocodile in the park. Getting ready to call the police abt it, i investigated further and i guess it wasn't a crococile but a lizard type of big creature which I really don;t know what they are called. I did take a photo, but since it was taken from around 50 meters (I didnt dare to come closer) there is nothing to be seen. So i found one on the internet.

Then i was wondering how many people actually work in Lumpinee park. There must be hunderds of people, women picking up the leaves and putting them in baskets, lots of security guards who are most likely on the look out preventing me from smoking a cigarette. Why can't I smoke a cigarette there? Unlike on the new airport, there are numerous toilets in the park, and i believe it costs an amazing 2 baht if u choose to use them. Or maybe the sign says u can only use them 2 times per day?

The last time i went there i thought those pigeons always came to you when you sat down, but i guess there are just so many of them, so it just seems they come to you, while in fact they are unavoidable. The birds that are scarier are those big black ones, are they ravens? Does a bird look at you when his head is face towards you, or do they look from the side of their heads?

I came out with more questions then answers, so i'll go back their soon, in search for answers.

On Silom Road they sell fried chicken with sticky rice. I love that food so when ever i get a chance i buy some. When I walked back from Lumpinee Park to my apartment, i saw that they also sell it here, on the corner of saladeng soi 1 and rama IV. I came close to buying some here too, until i saw the quality of the oil they fry them in, or should i say, the non-quality? I know I can;t be as picky with these things as one can be in Holland, but this was abit too much for me.
Three days ago i went on the search for running shoes, size 46. first walked to Silom since they have some sportshops and I imagines that, if anywhere, they would sell bigger sizes there. Unfortunately these shops don;t open in the morning, probably later in the afternoon or so. So onwards to Siam Paragon, my next best bet. And there they did sell some at the Paragon mall. Size 46 here is not exactly size 46 in Europe but they will do for the few weeks here. At least now I can pretend i am doing healthy stuff, like running :-)
Last night i had my first attack, and hopefully the last, of non-stop diarrhea. After going to the bathroom for abt 10 times and only water coming out (yummie) which felt like acid at the end, i decided not to go the bathroom for the next 5 days any more. It still hurts now.
So and i got nothing else to write down, i need to take a nap, did i take naps 10 years ago ??
