Ugh, another boring day. Two hours of proctoring this morning, two more after lunch, and now I’m killing two hours between the sessions. At least I’m getting a lot of reading done. You’d think after two weeks of doing nothing I would be ready for an exciting adventure. But doing nothing is surprisingly exhausting.

Which is why I changed my mind at the last minute again. I’m just not up to going to another country, and all the little things it entails. Worrying about money, visas, transportation, a new language, etc. So last night I took the subway to the train station (the subway goes right to the station, what a concept!), and bought a ticket on a sleeper train to Chiang Mai. It was so easy. Travel in Thailand is hassle free, luxurious, and cheap.

The plan is to take a bus further northwest into the province of Mae Hong San, on the Burmese border. There I can go trekking, ride a bike, and sit around and read.
