The Thai Girl and I Travel to NorthEast (Then, 1985)
I just recognized that out of my 5 notebooks here at my office in Europe, one is back 21 years ago and another from 18 years ago in 1988. Moreover I wrote a lot. So I will paraphrase a bit.
I saw the agricultural museum in Chiang Sean, and even tried hitchhiking the next day, just like I wrote. After an hour or so on the road with my backpack, I went back to the guest house and opted for the bus for the next day. That attractive Thai girl that sat at my table, actually appeared to be going in the same direction towards the Northeast and we found ourselves on the same bus. I thought she acted very rude at first… but then…
8/30/85
…She is not very pleasant to be around, in fact she’s a bit nasty to put it bluntly. … She took up my seat with her pack so she expected me to try and convince the ticket taker that there was no room for both of us and our backs. A complete bitch.
There’s more. Reading ahead, I discover she is nice and we actually split the costs on a double room.
