End of Year


On Tuesday I sleep until 8 am. It was a lot of running around in Myanmar and maybe I needed he extra sleep. I start the day with a two hour walk to familiar and unfamiliar places. I grab lunch and go back to the hotel to relax during the heat of the day. After a while I take a quick shower and drop off laundry and refill my mobile phone and buy supplies from 7-11. When I return I make conversation with two of the housekeeps and it turns out they are Burmese. So they want to know about my trip to their home country and where I've been. Why is it that I've already met three Burmese people on this trip who work in Thailand? At 5pm I get in a good workout with the weight machines at the hotel followed by 20 minutes on an elliptical trainer. Later in the evening I go wander around aimlessly for a bit and then return to the hotel to relax.

On Thursday Myo and I go have a late breakfast before he goes back to his home. I walk around a bit but feel a bit tired, so I go relax in the afternoon heat. Later I get in a good workout with the hotel's weight machines and again sit in the sauna for 14 minutes to sweat out any illness. After a shower I meet up with Kwang for a quick dinner before he has to go home and sleep. I wander around a bit, but I'm in bed near 11 pm before the new year turns over - with my earplugs in so that the new year celebrations do not wake me.
