Yep.  I thought I was to leave at 2 in the afternoon, when actually I was supposed to leave 12 hours earlier, at 2 AM.   I was put on a wait list for Wednesday.  So there I was, all ready and no where to go.  I had already said goobye to everyone, and so I just wanted to hide until I got on the next flight.  Catherine and I had a nice &#8220;free day&#8221; of walking around downtown while she shopped for clothes for her own excursion.   It was nice&#8230;. I really miss her.  I am slowly adjusting to the hot humid stickiness that is Bangkok.  The food is cheap and so damn good.  So many great things to eat and buy and do&#8230;. So much that my brain has broken.  Every thing I try to decide to do becomes this huge deal.  By chosing, we deny the other choices&#8230;so it&#8217;s best not to choose.   This logic allows you to do nothing&#8230;until you are forced to choose.  Then the choice is usually not the best, but the only.  Not a good way to live really.  So, when my brain starts working again, I&#8217;ll probably choose to leave Bangkok and head down to Ko Chang&#8230;hopefully before my 38th birthday in a few days.   I&#8217;m just not going to rush myself.  I need time to adjust to my new life.<\/p>\n<iframe src='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gregwhitephoto.com%2Fblog%2F2005%2F10%2Fone-night-in-bangkok%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=280&amp;action=recommend&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=30' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; height:30px' allowTransparency='true'><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started my big year-long trip around the world by missing my flight.
