On the road again, in a way

My friends have all left me. Enter Stage 2.

Kyle and Cassidy left for Beijjing a couple of days ago, so I'm alone for a while. We'll see how that works out. Since I've been alone I went to Burma for a few minutes, I handed them 10 dollars, they stamped me into the country, he passed my passport to the man sitting next to him, who stamped me out of the country. All very seriously looking and Junta-like. The whole ordeal took about 3 hours, most of which was spent on a small boat on a river, the Welschman behind me got soaked by a wave during the trip, but I just got a pleasant seaspraying.
Then it was on to Bangkok, where I am now. After a border crossing and a nine hour busride yesterday, I'm pretty well just taking today off, wandering the streets a little bit. I switched to a new hotel this morning, promising myself that whatever I could save on the room, I would spend on the internet uploading photos to flickr. Since I had a fairly nice, slightly overpriced room last night (which I found at 1130pm), it wasn't hard to save enough to be on the internet for a long time today, this is hour 3 of 6. intersprese this with wandering around shops, idly haggling with merchants for things you will never buy (I take a somewhat perverse pleasure in this, and it's good practice. move down their price 5 or 10 dollars for something, then tell them tomorrow.) Kyle discovered the phrase "tomorrow" as the perfect alternative to no. If you say no, they try to offer a lower price, or something else better, or whatever, if you say 'tomorrow', it's universally understood that you will not, under any circumstances, buy what they're offering. It's brilliant.
Anyway, speaking of photos being uploaded, I have all my pictures up on flickr, the link of which I'll give shortly. First the warning though, this is what I'm using for my photo backup and/or primary storage for my photos taken on the trip. As such, there are way too many pictures on there than you actually want to see. So prepare to be annoyed when there are suddenly 100 pictures of the same sunset. They're mine, and I haven't decided what I'll do with them, or which one is the best yet, so just deal with it, this is the price you pay if you want to see my pictures. Maybe I'll put a few onto blog entries, or go through and tag some for general viewing, but for now, this is it.

As for the plan, I'm gonna stay in Bangkok a couple more days, weekend market tomorrow, then move up north a day or two at a town, no overnight trains or anything, just nice easy moves of a few hour train rides, see the country, see a new town, eventually going to Laos for a week or two, possibly cambodia from there, haven't decided yet, depends on what's going on.
