FAQ
A couple of FAQ brought up to date:
How old is Tal exactly?
Today Tal is exactly 21. He wishes himself a happy birthday, though attaching little value to the specific date. Still, Tal has treated humself to a more than satisfying Thai massage, even though it hurt from time to time. Our protagonist found himself amazed at the wisdom of these masseuses, who seemed to know exactly where to press for instant pain. It was, all in all, a very relaxing experience.
Where is Tal right now?
Right here.
...?
In Bangkok, Thailand. More precisely on Khao San Road, the never sleeping always busy beehive where backpackers are more like ants and everybody appears to be going somewhere, still rarely they leave this one particular street that has everything to offer.
Wait a minute, hasn't he been here before?
Yes. 2 years ago. With his best friend from South Africa. It is in fact a tear-jerking best-seller-story of two friends separated in their early years, only to be reunited 10 years later in a foreign country. Tal's first acts on Khao San Road were to retrace the same paths used before. Checked in at the same hostel, looked for the same cafe, ordered a lemon-mint juice and spend some time at the bookshop. Ony once the ritual was comleted, could a new page of history be written.
Where is our hero heading next?
To Angkor Wat, Cambodia, where the renowned temples of ancient Siam await him. It seems the journey will take him the whole day, of which the second part will be done on the back of a pickup, hopefully rain excluded.
Aything else?
Not much. I'm glad I'm out of Malesia. Simply can not feel comfortable in a country where they pray five times a day, chanting words not exactly friendly towards the infidels. As towards the jews, well history speaks for itself.
That's it for today. I'm off to bed, tired of the long train ride (22h) between Penang (Malesia) and Bankok (Thailand)
Umpf
