impressions of thailand, so far.

oh my, at an internet cafe on the other side of the river from katrine's room at the UCE place in BKK, by the on nut skytrain station.

first time online since i got here, i must say it's wonderful not to be online. outside the rain started pouring down ten minutes ago, a good moonsoon rain, loveit.

oh my, thailand got to me, i did not think it would. i guess i didn't even have expectations, just came to see my friend, excited to go to a country i haven't been to.

thai people are so terrible friendly and honest (at least the people i have met so far). katrine got under the skin of many of these people and it's amazing to see how they just love her; at work neighbourhood friends and family friends.

i am having the best sort of vacation where i just jump into katrine's dailylife and participate in it for the time i am here.

i have so many impressions and stories to tell of adventures and people, but for now i leave you with this, pictures will come later.

packing

who would have thought it would be so hard to pack for a trip to thailand? anyways, it´s taken me all day now...probably it´s because i am hardly bringing anything and i can´t believe it.

this week at work i have been running around as if i did not have a head, being a rollercoaster of OH MY GOD I WILL NEVER BE DONE FOR VACATION, to ok, i will never be done, final... so calm down and get the most important things done. and then after leaving work i have remembered things i forgot to do, so today i have been e-mailing reminders to different people in my office, asking them for favors.

oh dear, who would have thought that taking vacation time would be such a hard thing to do.

now, work is out of my head and packing will be done in lets say ten minutes from posting this:)

Amsterdam and back again

Oh Amsterdam! That city stole my heart many years ago and I keep coming back instead of exploring and visiting new places never seen before.

It´s home, the feeling, though it´s been years since it really was home, is still inside of me.

The occation for a visit this year was a wedding.

I had on a fabulous dress, wore red lip stick and smoked my favorite cigarrettes that can only be found in Holland.

This bride was stunningly beautiful, the groom hot, he had on some really cool blue shoes.

The flowers the bride carried turned out really well. I did have a smaller panic attack in the morning but with a little help of the bride´s islandic friend we pulled off a pretty darn good boquet for a first timer at that sort of creativity:)

The party was excellent. I enjoyed many dances on the dance floor with the groom´s aunt, it was a BLAST.

The 50+ guests at the party really got the dancing going it was most wonderful to see them dance to this music they would NEVER ever normally listen to let alone dance to, they had a great time and I just jumped right in with them and let go.

Many more things can be told of this weekend trip, like queen´s day, rainy sunday, hugs from people of the past. conversations with good looking guys and the cultural differences in european and indian culture on the train. But this will be it for now.

an education

I went to the movies tonight and watched "An Education". It finally made it to the Danish movie theaters, odd that it took so long since the instructor and producer is a dane.

Anyhow, I liked it, not so much for "the message", but for the music the good looking people, the lovely dresses and the red lipstick. AH, I just want to wear high heels, smoke cigarettes and be good looking all the time.

Fortunantly I am going to a wedding this weekend and I have a 60ies dress to wear and some red lip stick, it will be fabulous, I am even doing some of the music for the wedding so I will just make sure it works with my theme:)

Thailand

I just bought a flight to Thailand, it´s scary how fast it is done. I am going there to visit a friend who lives there at the moment, exciting!

new sandals!!! approved not approved?

I am actually on my way out the door....this saturday, by pure impulse I went into the shoestore...and i found a pair of sandals MY SIZE that i sort of liked....so I tried them and liked them....BUT where is my personal shopper??? OUT OF TOWN....really no way, yes really....so I asked the little old lady assistent, can I come back with these if I regret and she said YES....so I bought them and TONIGHT, I am taking them to my dear friend who is also my counsellor when it comes to buying ANYTHING really, mostly shoes and clothes though....she will judge whether they suit me or not:) yeh for personal shoopers.

Austria and back, no thank you!

Alright, so today was my last day before the weekend. Friday is my day off. Today was also the last last before my boss goes on holidays for a week.
Today was a busy busy day, it´s the first time I have been so focussed that I missed lunch. I left for a meeting just after lunch hour, I had to borrow a car, because the two cars we can book were already in use, so I borrowed my boss´ little car.
So I had my papers and my wallet with my driver´s license, I put my wallet in the glovecomparment so I didn´t have to take it around with me (had a few stops on my way south on the island) as I put it in the glovedepartment I thought to myself, better remember it or it goes to Austria.
I busy on, get back to my desk and before I knew it I was on the bus on my way home from work. The busdrive home on Thursdays I often use fantasising about dinner, so I had planned to go past the store on my way home to pick up some grocceries when it FINALLY dawned on me...oh yes the glovedepartment, my dear wallet with everything in it...So I get off the bus at my usual stop, call my boss. Fortunantly they don´t leave before tomorrow afternoon, so I can get my wallet instead of sending it on a trip to Austria. Thus my quiet morning tomorrow all gone:(
