Train Station, and goofy wireless network names

At the train station writing this. We had free wireless briefly on Luv Luv Jubu Jubu, but they secured it. Luv Luv Luv ^o^ isn't working for some reason, sadly.

Allen, Anh, Michelle and I went out for lunch. Wandered a fair bit, I had eggrolls in a spicy sauce, a juice (delicious!) and a 7up afterwards for 20 baht each, 60 total. Either Thai food isn't as spicy as I had heard, my tolerance is higher than it used to be, or I didn't get authentic Thai. It was spicy, sure, cleared my sinuses, but not as bad as I expected by any means. A thunderstorm started on our way back to the hotel, so we got moving. Allen and I got in at 12:49, finished packing quickly (we did most of it beforehand), and headed downstairs. We were the second last pair to get there, Nate and John took even longer. In fact, we ended up giving up on waiting on John and headed out through the thunderstorm. It was pretty heavy, and I was in my coat I haven't worn since Alaska, so I was sweating too. Happy fun time. We're at the train station now, waiting to check our bags, after that we'll have time open. There's a crazy bakery here with all kinds of bacon danishes and chicken and cheese croissants and other strange pastries. I grabbed a donut, it was tasty. We talked to a New Yorker for a bit who was down here exploring, then going on a meditation retreat and then volunteering near the Burma border, along with some time in Hanoi and maybe Angkor Wat. 10 weeks all told. Pretty cool.
