Still Bangkok

I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I'm paying everything by myself. Well, I could be like 'I don't care what you think how I'm paying everything' but this is part of the whole thing, too.  Some people started saying my parents are giving me money for that. Well, they didn't want me to pay them money while I was earning it (for rent or food) and they still continued paying my health insurance monthly but I was paying almost everything by myself for almost two years now. Stuff like public transport, ballett lessons, clothes, food while not eating home, trip to Scotland with Tim last winter, all my flights... and so on. I saved heaps and spending now the most.

So, further in context. The other day I was sad because Jowelle and Carl left... Vut I suddenly got involved in a conversation with Perikles (in his late twenties) from Germany but originally Greek. He looks like one of those beardy hipsters, so really nice. His hair is black like the night and has smooth pale skin. Anyway, he works in a bank in Berlin and decided to go on holiday by himself for 17 days in Thailand, because of personal reasons back home. We shared a taxi to Chinatown and went in a creepy tight street to see all the streetfood. There we tried duck and while buying it the family was killing some more ducks in the back and somehow they were laughing in their fists I can't tell why. But we didn't get sick, the opposite; it was really good meat! We enjoyed it a lot. We went further to Siam Center with a Tuktuk (by the way it was my first time in a Tuktuk) where Perikles bought a Selfiestick for 250 Baht! Back home we talked to some of our roommates, Kilian from Germany,  Chinese guy and a Thai. That was good fun! We shared some experiences and had a blast in our dorm. 
The next day Fred (38) from Belgium joined us in going to the Riverfront to have dinner and we discovered that they have a lot in common and I could see two found eachother. 
Today I'm going to Krabi (close to Phuket... I know I'm doing a stupid route but it was kind of the cheapest thing I could find. Not looking forward to Krabi... sometimes you have to face stuff you don't like. Well, not on my trip!!!
