Hot in Ayutthaya

Hot in Ayutthaya

Majorly tired today. Was out at Ayutthaya today, and I was on barbecue duty for most of the day. It was hot and smoky, but I had fun. Ayutthaya is really nice, especially later in the day, when sun sinks low and the weather is cool. The water is really beautiful, if you don't look closely at it. The Chao Phraya river, according to my father is not filthy, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. It's brown and murky but I guess coz it's is the lifeblood of Thailand. Anyhow, today my dad had a party for all his high school friends, which was why I was busy barbecuing four kilograms of prawns, a half a pig and one-quarter of a cow. It was overall fun and that was the extent of my day - didn't study, didn't watch TV, didn't do much of anything. Was wondering how Sittha and Alan were holding up at Jatujak, but Alan called and told me about it. Seems they had a hot, fun time as well.

Final thought: I hate living in the tropics sometime.

when i wa falucca-ing down the nile, i was told repeatedly that the nile wasn't filthy--as i washed my dishes, sans soap, in the, er, "silty" water.

yeah, that's 5000 years worth of civilization flushing down that silty river. so much for intestinal lining.
