Park place

The move to my fourth home in Bangkok is complete, and was pretty easy. It took two taxis, but could have taken one if I would have brought all my stuff down. I’m quite happy with the place. Great location, beautiful view of the park, and it doesn’t feel like a hotel, like some of the mansions. I can actually see my former home, the ugly hotel-like V.P. Tower, from my window. Strangely, there is a giant Virgin Mary on the roof, looking into my room, which I find kind of creepy.

Since it is a “real” apartment, there isn’t much furniture. So I had to just dump all my stuff on the floor. I am in the process of trying to find a cheap desk so I can put stuff away. I’ve already bought a shower rod and curtain, so my bathroom has been “Westernized.”

Other things I don’t have are a TV and a fridge. I really don’t think I need a fridge, because I only keep water in it, so I probably won’t get one. I am getting the urge to play video games, though. So once I get paid, I’m going to pick up a TV and Playstation2. Then I will sequester myself in my room.
