Friday 7th April 2006 – Thailand – Live in Thailand?

When I first arrived here two and a half weeks ago they handed me a ton of breakfast coupons and it seemed like I was going to be here for ages. But today was the last day, and it was time to get all packed up. I also popped into the main hall to sort…
