The little thieves....

Got a few minutes before my train takes me north to Sukhothai, Thailand....

Here's what I know about this little place called Lubpori: the monkeys are quite aggressive. They were not joking when they claimed the monkey gangs have taken over the city. One of the little shits took my water bottle out of my back pocket yesterday afternoon. The joke was on him, though, when he couldn't get the thing open!

Also, I will soon change the phrase "going Dutch" to the newly coined "going Belgian". Drinking at our guest house with four Dutch guys/gals last night and two Belgians....but the Belgians had to leave around 11pm to catch a night train. When it came time to grab the bill for my beers at night's end, I learned I was going to be responsible for the Belgians as well. The Dutch said I could no longer use the old phrase after that! Fortunately the total tab for mine (+2 others) was only 600 baht (or 18 US Dollars) for a nights worth of drinks. Thank God it's cheap here!
