an email i just wrote to kate and sarah
i'm in a rather gross hotel. i mean, it's fine i'm sure. but, it's kind of one of those stained-sheets, cigarette-burns-on-the-already-scary-bedspread kind of places. no, i'm not exaggerating, that is a literal description of my bed.
on the plus side, i don't have to have a roommate as i can afford to get my very own room (it's only 35 bucks). the front desk just couldn't believe i was going to strike out on my own when my double was already paid for. "but there are two beds!!!!" i'm just not up for meeting izabela in room 169 as i've only slept a few hours in a row since leaving new york.
did i mention how cheap this tour was?
i hope i survive. well, the rest of this trip is outdoor-adventure type things till vietnam and cambodia. so if i perish in thailand it will at least be by cholera, malaria or something else rather more romantic than bed bugs. (which wouldn't immediately kill me, just drive me slowly and surely, totally and absolutely insane as they are my #1 unrealized fear.)
hmmm, why did i come here again????
