I've arrived safe and sound in Bangkok....and have just got to my new apartment.
WOW!
This complex reminds me of a resort! I'm gonna take some pics tomorrow to show you - I'm very impressed! It's a really decent sized studio apartment on the 8th floor - it's a little far from the city centre - well 20 minutes, but I'll have to take a shuttle bus and then a tube to get to the school tomorrow. It's got everything I need though...but no supermarket! There's a petrol station nearby, but it's kinda limited. I saw a massive TESCO on the way here - it looks a little far, but I might just suffer the cost and get a cab there in a couple of days to stock up.
When I was on the plane, I was sitting next to this Japanese woman who knew absolutely NO English. She's what we call a "true beginner". I was shocked that when she was offered tea or coffee, she couldn't even answer. I helped translate for her and helped her fill in the immigration form, but it was just another reminder how important English is. Poor cow - I can't help but worry how the hell she's gonna check into her hotel! >_<
Right, I need to unpack!
xoxo
