Vince here...
Friday night the school had a get together to welcome new RIS teachers at the Grand Four Wings Hotel. It was quite a swank place that makes the Queen Elizabeth look like a 2 star. The food was fantastic and since our diet staple was rice we of course engorged on all the good food. And don't forget the drinks were flowing as well. There were tickets for drinks but half way through the evening the bartenders really did not care anymore and served it up. A great night.
Saturday, Bridget and I had a trip to Ikea and then Fashion Island Mall to meet one of my business associates for lunch. We found a nice Japanese restaurant, and of course tried several dishes, many of which I had not encountered before and a Japanese beers (just being social).
How about an impromptu party... yeh sure, just gather 5 other couples and away we go..so by 7 pm were on to mohitos, Chang, Singha and San Song Rum. We all need to eat so, after waiting out a torrential downpour, we jumped on a scooter went down to the local market picked up fried chicken, salad, roast pork, and even more chicken. After all it was a meat and beer party!!
Early Sunday, all this caught up to me and spent the day in bed (or in the other favourite room in the house !!). But not without any entertainment. Bridget and two other ladies wanted to ride their bikes along the klongs (canals). They started out at our village at 10 am heading to Sammakon about a 10 km ride. About noon the first call came, "we are lost". A quick Google search revealed they were too far so after a few minutes I text them the map... Another call, "Still lost". Then I noticed that I incorrectly market their location, soi (street) 35 not close to soi 36!! So after some discussion they found their way to Sammakon.. ring, ring... made it safely to Sammakon. 2:30 pm ring ring... I have a flat tire but found a bike shop..will be on my way soon... next call, five minutes now understood to be 5 pm to fix bike. Eventually owner gets tube and tire and fixes Bridget's bike, the others are already home. I text Bridget to turn right on the highway.. OMG she turned left ! After her course direction she found her way home albeit a few hours late. Does this sound like a typical Bridget ride!! and my stomach still hurts...
And now the real story..
You guys are TOO funny !
