Last night I met up with the other AVIs (and one of the world's most gorgeous 10 day old babies) for dinner and drinks - kind of weird initially to be in a big group of expats, but they were all great and it was a fun night. We went out for Italian (oddly it was really pretty good), downed some coloured cocktails and many beers before moving on to some bar somewhere nearby (with lots of NGO workers) that had good cocktails and a couple of the cutest cats I've ever seen.
So this morning I tried valiantly to sleep in (not with a lot of success) and then met up with one of the other girls who took me on an "essentials" tour of this side of Chiang Mai and also out for breakfast. I ate scrambled eggs and have been feeling vaguely heavy and a bit sick since then - I think buttered toast and eggs are just a bit weightier than the food I've been eating. Anyway, I'm quite tired so I'm planning to spend the afternoon in my room napping, writing, examining my new map and hopefully motivating myself to do some Thai study. Tonight I'm heading out for dinner with another couple of expats I met last night and tomorrow - I'm not sure yet. Maybe a massage, maybe the Sunday market, maybe lazing, maybe going to a talk at a nearby temple. The options are endless. If only my energy were similarly so!
As a postscript to the air conditioner situation I posted the other day - as promised, 3 repair type men knocked on my door on Thursday afternoon and marched into my room with their toolboxes. They turned on the aircon, opened their eyes wide in wonder at the racket, then turned it off and walked out of the room, never to be seen again.
Apparently it's getting fixed on Monday by an "air conditioner specialist service man".
