bangkok 9.23pm

there is a torrential downpour happening behind me and it came out of nowhere.

so things are good.

very good. while i was typing last night i met a boy, we had a banana shake, we toured all day today and we just had super yummy kisses in my room.

this morning i finally saw bangkok in the light. we walked out past a local open market with basket vats of fish halves, cages of too many birds, turtles struggling upon themselves to get out of their 2 foot bowl with an inch of water. we walked to the river port to catch a bus, er boat. i saw carmel milk colored water that had a certain sheen dancing from the light of the sky. the fish in the water were feeding and dozens of them moved slightly below the opaque surface. i could see their gyrating bodies. i felt the pulse.

i would like a cold beer.

but experiencing this sober is the very best high i've ever had! it's incredible.

our taxi driver tonight was on speed. he kept squirming and screaming and laughing without any relation to anything else in the world.

tomorrow the boy and i go to a floating market. dozens of boats filled with goods on a canal. he leaves tomorrow. i still have no plans for what i'll do next. i had cashmere pants made for 27$.

i'm really happy. i'm in the flow and i'm letting it carry me away.

say hi on my g-book dolls. i miss you.

cheers, the luke
