Back to My Life

Had a fantastic 2 months in the states but I must admit that I'm also really happy to be back to Bangkok. I missed my routine, my cong, my students...I missed my life. And it was even better coming back this time knowing how much better my schedule will be now that I'm not working M-F anymore. Rather than diving back into work like I have in the past, I was able to take some time to just get over the jet lag and get reorganized. Both are accomplished now.

My flight back was uneventful. I had a long 7-hour layover in Kuwait. It's kind of a scruffy airport...everyone smokes. There were several announcements saying to only smoke in designated areas. That was defiantly ignored. I couldn't enjoy a cup of coffee at McDonalds without the offensive odor of cigarette smoke looming nearby. I did get a photo while there. The sites were interesting...many in typical Arabic dress, Indian women wearing saris, etc. Not many westerners there, especially women. I was stared at a lot, but I didn't mind, I was equally curious about them.

Here's a photo at the McDonalds.
