Kuma half past six ndakapinda mutown kunotenga mafruits. Ndaive ndisati ndaona muchero wekutengesa. Ndosaka ndakabvunza kuruboshwe nekurudyi nezvemusika. Mumwe murume akabvunza kana ndaiva nemope.

Mushure mekugara muRoi Et kwemazuva maviri, ndakanzwa kufara pabhasikoro zvakare. Ndakachovha muminda yemupunga nekusatya kwemutasvi webhiza weapocalyptic. "Showoff," zvakapinda mumusoro mangu. "Nyarara," Nokia. 'Ndaneta nekutaura kwako kusina kunaka; Ndakakutengesera chimwe chinhu pasina nguva."

Ndakatyaira ndichipinda mune mumwe musha. Tendeukira kuruboshwe, akadaro Nokia. Ndakaidzinga; iyi yaisaita semugwagwa unoenda kupi zvako. Uye mugwagwa wakanga wakareba. Kumagumo kwaive netemberi uye handina kukwanisa kuenderera mberi. Ndakadzima Nokia navigation ndokuvhura Google maps. Fonera kure. Meseji yakabva kuWindows pamusoro pekupokana neGoogle. Chii chandaifanira kuita nazvo mumugwagwa wakafa pedyo netemberi muBuriram? Pane kudaro, G-mepu dzakaonekwa nemashiripiti. Chirongwa chaitaridzika chaizvo seNokia's GPS.

Ndaiti ndinotarisa muhotera kuti ndione kuti ruzha rutsva rwaibva kupi.

Non Din Daeng

Ndakamira muNang Rong inotonhorera kuti ndidye. Ingori munzira uye inonaka kwazvo. Ndapedza ndakatyaira ndakananga kuNon Din Daeng uko kwandakasvikopinda. I had nothing to complain about the doctor's hotel, apa paNon Thong hotel painge pakaipa. Hapana WiFi kunyangwe yairatidzwa pamusuwo, kunyangwe firiji yangu yaive nesticker hombe ine WiFi yemahara pairi.

Musikana akati vaive nazvo zvefoni. Icho chakanga chisiri chokwadi. Ndinobhadhara foni mwedzi wega wega kuti uwane internet munyika yose. Izvo hazvibvi mubhokisi muhotera iyi. Mumba umu mainhuhwa mold yembwa yakatota uye pamubhedha paive nemubhedha waive wakarara pasi vanhu vese. Hapana pepa repamusoro. Zvizhinji zvekuumbwa zvakabva muimba yekugezera uye musuwo waisagona kuvharwa.

Asi uyu mutasvi asingatyi akanga aneta zvokusagona kuramba achichovha. Ndakarara pamubhedha kwechinguva ndokutarisa injini. Makanika wemuRoi Et akange asimbisa cheni zvakanyanya. Ndakatyaira kuna makanika mutsva akasunungura zvese zvishoma. Izwi rakanga risisanzwike zvino.

Ndakaenda kukero yangu yekare kuti ndidye, izvo zvainaka. Ndakawedzera bhodhoro raLeo. Asi akanga asina diki, saka ndakatora hombe. Ibasa chairo kune munhu asingambonwi doro. Ndakabatwa nehope ndichinzwa kudonha kwepombi.

China September 11th

Ndakarara zvakanaka zvisinei nehotera yepasi. Handina kuita shungu nekubuda. Ndakasiya makiyi mukamuri mangu, ndakaunganidza zvinhu zvangu ndokugara pabhasikoro. "Rova nzira Jack," akadaro Nokia. Ndiwo manzwire azvakaita uye nguva yacho yaive yakakwana. Saka ndakadzosera Nokia uye handina kunzwa izwi risingafadzi munzira yese. Injini zvakare yaive muchimiro chikuru.

Zviri pachena kuti anofarira cheni yakatambanudzwa. Mugwagwa 348 kumaodzanyemba kweNon Din Daeng wakanaka kwazvo. Ndakatyaira pano kakawanda uye inoramba iri ngano. Mupunga, miti yakawanda, zvikomo zvisingatarisirwi, macheki emigwagwa uye vasikana vakanaka pa mopeds.

Motokari yakatyaira pamberi pangu, yakatakura mamongi matatu eanenge makore gumi okukura. Kana kusiri kufona. Nekuda kwehasha ndakagara pasi semujaho wekuseka vakomana. Ndakasimudza visor yehelmet ndokugadzira zviso zvinosetsa. Kubudirira kwacho kwaityisa. Ndeipi basa rinogona kuita kuseka muhupenyu hwechitendero cheThai? Mamongi anoonawo Thai slapstick.

Mu'Zita reRozi', mushure memapeji akawanda wakaona kuti Chechi yeRoman Catholic haifariri zvinosetsa. Asi ndakaziva izvozvo kwenguva refu. Pandakanga ndiri kuCanisius College muNijmegen, taifanira kuenda kuchechi mazuva ose. Izvi zvaidzorwa zvakasimba.

Mumwe wevadzidzi vemukati akaridza ogani. Zvakatishamisa kuti taigara tichinzwa nziyo dzataiziva. 'Bye bye love', Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Little Richard, Fats Domino uye mamwe magamba evechidiki venguva iyoyo. Zvakatora nguva yakareba kuti vaJesuit vaone izvi. Akabva adzingwa kuchikoro nemumhanzi wemapepa nezvimwe.

Chero zvazvingava, mamongi aya aida kupusa. Vadzidzisi vavo vachiriwo here? Kana kuti vakomana ava vakanga vari mberi mukukura kwavo kupfuura vadzidzisi vavo here? Vaizorasika nzira yavo nesangano iri here? Unogonawo kuzvishandura: Vakomana ava vakanga vachine zvakawanda zvokudzidza uye vakanga vari panzvimbo chaiyo. Ndiani anoziva angati.

Pasina kupasa uye pasina gasi

Chero zvazvingava, mugwagwa uyu wakanga wakanaka. Chakandishamisa ndakasvika mumusha usipo. Ndakatora mufananidzo wechikwangwani chaiva nezita racho. Nokuti mushure mazvo hapana chakauya. Mupunga, miti yakawanda. Pamwe aive murume aive akanyoresa sameya wemusha usipo uyu akatambira muhoro. Asi ndakanga ndisina kururama. Mushure mechinguva ndakapfuura nedzimba, zvikoro uye zvimwe zvivakwa.

Mushure memusha uyu waive usina kunaka zvisingaite. Zvirimwa zvakadai semaendives, Brussels sprouts nemimwe miriwo zvakakura pano izvo zvaifanira kunge zvakabatanidzwa mumutemo weopium kana muzvinyorwa zvemutemo pamusoro pekushungurudzwa kwevana. Ndakaonawo kuti paive nema road checks akawanda apa pane mazuva apfuura. I couldn't imagine it be so dangerous apa. Pakanga pasina maTupamaros kana endive anotengesa zvisiri pamutemo pano, ndizvo here? Ndakafunga kuti muganhu neCambodia nemakakatanwa nenyika iyoyo zvaiva nechokuita nazvo. Kunyanya nekuti kwaive nemasoja akawanda.

Ndakava nekutya kwehupenyu hwangu muAranyaprathet. Ndaifanira kuwana peturu, asi ndakanga ndisisinawo mari. Ndakashandisa kadhi paATM paKasikorn bank. Imwe nguva, muchina wakadaro. Pakarepo pakabva panyarara. Muchina wakamira. Pano, netsoka imwe muCambodia, 40 baht muhomwe yangu, pasina kadhi uye pasina gasi. Chii chandaigona kuita? Ndinofanira kufonera Kasikornbank nditsanangure nyaya yacho. Izvozvo zvinogona kutora nguva yakareba.

Ndakaerekana ndave nepfungwa iri nani. Ndaigona kushandisa kadhi rangu rechikwereti kuzadza, kutyaira kumba kana kugara muhotera. Zvino ndakabva ndangonzwisisa kuti ndaifanira kugara ndichienda nekadhi riya rechikwereti. Kuti nditi zvakanaka, ndakadzvanya mabhatani ese (zvakawanda) uye kamwe kamwe meseji yakachinja kuita: 'Transaction yakarebesa'. Ndakatadza kubvuma zvimwe. Ndakafara kadhi riya rakaoneka.

Ndakarovera kumwe kunhu, kuzadza mafuta uye pasina kana chiitiko chakakosha ndakadzokera kuPrachinburi, kwandakapinda muhotera yeFluke zvakare. Iyo hotera ine migero yechando, isina WiFi uye ine machira machena akachena.

Ndakanyatsorara zvakare. Ndakarota hope dzandakanga ndarasika ndiri muArnhem. Ndingadai ndisina kushamisika pamusoro pokurasika; asi muArnhem? Ndakatsvaga nhare yangu kuti ndiwane nzira yekufamba nayo. Nezvikonzero zvisingazivikanwe, runhare rwakasimbirira kupinda muBangkok kuchamhembe.

Ini handina kuzvifarira nekuti ndaifanira kutarisana neguta rakawanda kupfuura kana ndaityaira kumabvazuva-kumadokero. Mukupedzisira ini ndakatanga kutyaira ndakananga kuNakhon Nayok uyezve pa305 kuenda kuBangkok. Kufamba kwenguva refu mumvura. Huroyi hwaIsaan hwakarasika zvachose apa. Mugwagwa wakawedzera kubatikana.

MuBangkok kwaive nekubatana nemugwagwa unoenda kuDin Daeng. Ndakatyaira ndichiendako. Mugwagwa wakakwira ndini ndega ndaiva ndiine mavhiri maviri. Panofanira kunge pakanga pasina chiratidzo chemudhudhudhu pakutanga uye handina kuzviona.

Zvakafamba zvakanaka, asi hazvina kundifadza zvachose. Paive netoll gate. Zvakatoipa. Handibvumidzwewo kushandisa migwagwa yemudhudhudhu nemudhudhudhu wangu. Kuruboshwe kwaive nepassage yemabhazi. Ndakapfuura napo. Ndakapfuura nemuDon Mueang ndikaona kwaibuda mberi kwangu. Kwechinguva chidiki uye ini ndingadai ndisiri mukutyora. 'Ramba uchityaira.' "Gara kunze kweizvi, Nok!" Ndakaramba ndichityaira zvakadaro. Muno muBangkok, handina kumbobvumirwa kuita nharo nerunhare.

Ndakatyaira mota pakufamba kwemakiromita angangoita matatu ndichibva ndabuda. Nokia yakataura chinhu. Pashure paizvozvo zvakaenda zvishoma nezvishoma. Ini pamwe ndakapedzisira ndave panguva yakaoma mushure mekutendeuka ikoko. Paive nekutenderera kwakawanda pakuraira kweNokia, izvo zvisina kunyatso kufambira mberi. Asi ndakange ndine kambasi muhomwe yandaiona kuti nzira yairamba ichinanga kumaodzanyemba uye panhare ndaiona kuti makiromita akanga achiverenga achidzika.

Chii chimwe chaunoda? Ihotera, mukadzi anopisa ane sauvignon blanc uye tapas yakawanda. Ndainyatsozviona. Pane kudaro, pakanga paine yakawanda yenzira imwe chete traffic. Chiitiko chisipo kubva mukondinendi yese yeAsia uye chinongoonekwa pandinofanira kuyambuka zambuko randinogona kutonhuhwidza, asi zvandisingakwanise kukwira nekuti kwandakananga kwakaipa. Chipingamupinyi ichocho chakakurirwawo. Chokwadi, nokuchema nokugeda-geda kwemeno. Asi mushure mekunyomba ikoko ndakatyaira ndichiyambuka zambuko.

Pandakazobuda muBangkok, ndaiva nebhatiri risina chinhu; Ndakatadza kufonera Ee. PaPetchaburi ndakatyaira nemumvura zhinji yakagara kwehafu yeawa. PaCha-am paivewo neimwe yaigara nguva shoma. Asi panguva iyoyo ndakanga ndava kutosvika kumba. Kumba ndakafara chose kuti Ee nevana vaivepo nekuti ndaive ndavasuwa.
