I've made up my mind to move to Thailand. I plan to go in about a year. That will give me time to save money, polish up on my Thai language skills and tie up loose ends here in the States.
I wonder if I want to go to Thailand because I like the country, or because I like Ariel? I hate to think I'm stupid enough to chase a girl around the world. Maybe it doesn't matter. I should use whatever inspiration I can to get my ass off the couch and out into the world.
I'm going to try to get a job with the Associated Press in Bangkok. The AP Bureau in Bangkok has a great legendary editor named Denis Gray. He covered Vietnam for the AP, and has been in Bangkok for some 30 years. I'll cross my fingers for a job interview!
Here's picture of me in Bangkok in May 2007.
I dont think it matters what is pulling you to go to Thailand, you should just go. Be it the girl, the lifestyle, what have you... S.A. will always be here.
