More busy than ever...

Wow, i thought Bangkok would be a breeze... Well, i was wrong. Friday and Saturday were busy but that was something we already knew would happen. Yesterday we ran into some Burmese friends of KK's and so that was a trip outside that turned into a long evening... (we only went out to get some lunch).... And today i spent the whole day at the embassy. I have never seen it this busy. I arrived at about 10.30, a little later than usual but traffic was all against me. The line for a business visa was long....) and when it was finally my turn, the counter closed. 12 o'clock and lunchtime. I'd be the first at 1. So i made sure i was there in time. Luckily they know me there so i was able to arrange for my visa to be finished today. Come back at 3 they said. I ran into a friend just before leaving so i talked a bit with her and with some Dutch who want to visit Burma soon so i had just enough time for a quick cup of coffee before returning. But at 3 my visa wasn't ready. And neither was it done at 4. Finally at 4.30 i got my things and could leave... Took the sky train + ferry back and arrived in Soi Rambuttri (where KK was hanging out with this friends, husband and wife) to find that he had ran into a longtime travel friend of ours. Someone we met first more that 2 years ago when KK and I travelled together for the first time. She was in India i thought but apparently not since i found her drinking with KK and his friend (the friend's wife was babysitting Xenne). Seeing her was fantastic. And she got some really interesting new stories to tell.....
