The Evil Fruit

On 1/17/08, in Thailand, Bangkok, the land of the Thai gem scam and plenty of traffic jams, stuck here and need to catch a flight to Tokyo. This place cannot be right. Its totally foreign and I don’t understand the language. And Bangkok is so crowded. Its horrible just to walk across the streets with all the traffic. Now, this guy with a card of apples crashed into me. I fall into the sewage lines.

Its dark and disgusting down there in the sewage lines, not to mention the smell as well, but now, I have reached the outside. There is a huge tree, and apple tree to be exact. An apple falls. There is a temptation to go to the tree and eat from it. I remember of “The Garden of Eden” and leave it alone. I see a sign that says Bangkok airport, one mile.

I am so glad it had an English translation on it. I finally get there. I am so lost through the airport but found the line to get through security. They let me thorough no problem when its my turn to go through. I beg the airline lady for a flight. If you think its hard to bum a flight talking to someone who speaks your own language, wait until you try to do it with someone who does not speak your language. I finally get the flight and head off to Laos, Vientiane, the only flight available for me to get on.
