Diary - 2009 May (Thailand)

My new job ... is just a new uniform

I was just kidding here! ;-) I bought that uniform in a shop - it was so cheap, that I thought I can use it for carnival! :-)
I am not allowed to wear it in Thailand, because it's a real one - so I had to promise not to put it on; otherwise the salesman wouldn't have sold it to me! :-)

The Smile - arriving in Bangkok

Everything is sooooooooooooo clean!
I hardly couldn't get it! Everything was so clean! Not just clean, it was shiny! The whole airport! I could have eaten from the floor! The walls were clean and shiny, too! Not the slightest little tiny winy existence of dirt!
Going to the toilette was the best! It was clean - anyway, but on top both water and soap was fully operational! :-) Unbelievable!
I think I had the stupidest smile in my face ever!

Next best thing was the immigration: About a thousand people in front of me - but there were also about 20 counters - with latest IT equipment, nice, friendly, efficient stuff - so it took just about 5 minutes to enter the country!

I so much thought I am at home! :-) Back to civilization, back to 'normal' (this word changed its meaning in my life for me anyway!) life.
And again, people were so friendly! Always a smile! Everything was clean - EVERYTHING! Even the tourist here were more clean and didn't wear dirty shirts - something you adapt to, when you live in dirt.
I also realized, that I didn't check the mattress for bugs! :-)
And then there was this perfect roof top pool! Clean water in a clean pool with nice clean deckchairs around! Wow! My hard was jumping!!! (Even when I write this, I still get excited! :-)
Most people speak English and in case they don't they don't just ignore you, they try to find someone, who does!
And there are nice places where you can (and want to) sit down, relaxe.
They have cinemas! :-)

My Gym

As I got fat - first time in my life - not like orca fat, but hey like 'I don't like my look' kind of, I new before I got here, I had to go to a gym!

And I found the perfect one! Five story one! About a thousand units, of course everything super clean, towel service, sauna, steam bath, swimming pool, clean sanitary facilities - just a gym like those at home I cannot afford! :-)

On top I booked myself a personal Muay Thai (Thai-Boxing) Trainer. As I had been training Tae Kwon Do for more than ten years - it was the best feeling ever when those movements came back and I got exhausted like hell! :-)
Doing this for four weeks meant I was always tired but also my fat started vanishing! :-)
