I am declaring my jetlag over. It took a week and a couple of days, but I am on Thai time. That doesn't mean much, because people here don't stick to their committed time. I haven't experienced anyone come early to a gathering, but certainly 1 to 3 hours late is normal.
I normally wipe down my body with some "good-olde-fashion" chemicals to prevent the bugs from biting. I had this discussion in the lounge at work, and heard many remedies that are natural. I am back on the 100% DEET. My ankles are a warzone, thosands of little bites. They really don't itch until you start staring at them. Then the urge to dig your fingernails into those red bumps is uncontrolable. Don't know where these bugs are coming from, the apartment or??
I been hanging outside for Happy hour with a group of Expats that are long-timers and 50+ on the average. A great deal of insight on the expat scene. The discussionfor the most part is the same the world-around, women, sports, drink prices, and music. It is fun, but the heat outside and the beers is just a recipe for me going home very early.
I am getting ready for Jon and maybe Timon to show up next week.
