Right now it is 4:44 Local time, and 7:44 Sydney time. I could not sleep so I came to check my email. I have a wired internet connection in my room. They originally were going to put me into a room without internet connection but upgraded me when I let them know that I wanted the internet access… and the internet is free.

Thailand is an interesting place. It took about 45 minutes to get through passport control. The line just seemed to move slowly. In true style just as I got close to the person, they opened up a second person on our line so our line started moving at twice the speed of all the others. Of course my bag was already out on the belt when I got there. Customs was so easy. Just walk through. They didnt even ask you if you had anything to declare. I was met by the transfer person without problem who put me in a merc for the trip to the hotel.

I have not seen the place by daylight, but right now it reminds me of LA, but slightly cleaner. I am sure that the impression will change. Oh, and it did once I got off the toll road and onto the local roads. I could not believe how many people were out doing things at 1am local time. Wow.

Anyway I need to get back to sleep… More later.
