Online, sideways

I’ve been staying in a friend’s empty apartment since Thursday, on Petchburi Road, central Bangkok. It’s a nice place, and I’m finally online in my room.

See, there’s a wireless network in the building which I can use for internet access, for the princely sum of B1,000 per month. We had problems setting it up yesterday – the signal was just too weak, and it kept dropping out. However, I have just discovered that if I turn my Mac Mini on its side, I get a great signal. Looks funny, but it works.

I’ll be catching up with emails over the next day or so, and then striding forward with a variety of new projects. Assuming I can stay out of my rooftop pool… :)

New Beginning

Well, I’m here, and I can confirm that Bangkok in the peak of summer is somewhat on the warm side. In fact, I probably didn’t need to bring my leather jacket.

It’s incredibly disconcerting to stand in airport queues holding a suitcase and a rucksack, and realise that you’re holding all your worldly posessions. I think selling the guitars was the hardest part of the preparation – apart from saying goodbye to so many people. I’m sure some will come and visit, but I’m equally sure others will not.

More apartment-hunting today, drinks with Tony tomorrow and hopefully I’ll be moved into my own place by the weekend.

More soon. Oh, much. much more :-)
