Mexican donkey show. Koi pond. Captain crunch and sushi rolls.

June 28, 2010

Sitting in the lobby all night sucks. It’s the only place to get internet at the Nice Mansion 3 (and I’ve checked, there is a Nice Mansion 2, but no Nice Mansion 1). The hotel’s router stops working from time to time, and needs resetting. It sounds simple, but the guy who works in the [...]

notes from the editing room (our hotel room)

June 27, 2010

We just moved into our third hotel in three days. It’s hard for these places to fit the needs of us Americans. We’re very demanding. We need things like toilet paper AND soap. I know. It’s a lot to expect. This place has free internet, but only while you’re in the lobby, and even then, [...]

what’s worse than snakes on a plane?

June 26, 2010

Snakes on the sidewalk! We were walking home from the mall, where we ate “cook-your-own-style” barbeque (which I hate, by the way – when you bring the food to my table, why do I have to cook it? It’s your restaurant) when a giant snake came out of the bushes. I saw what I thought [...]

bored in bangkok

June 26, 2010

Most of our days are spent in doors editing the film. We just moved from the Perfect Place hotel to another hotel. Next to this dump, the Perfect Place really was perfect. Here at the Saraphan Mansion, you don’t get power in your room unless you put the key in this magic key holder. It’s [...]

June 24, 2010

We’ve been out of clean clothes for at least a week. We didn’t know that there are 2 laundry machines in our hotel, because they’re hidden, and when we asked, in English, nobody knew what we were saying. Long story boring, we went to a chicken stand down the street, and bought a whole chicken [...]

scenes from a Bangkok bathroom

June 23, 2010

Whoa. Whoa! When you go to a bathroom at a club, you expect that guy who pumps the soap for you and hands you a towel to be there. That’s it, right? Maybe that, and offer you some cologne and a stick of Juicy Fruit. But nothing more. Not in Thailand. When you open the [...]

Bangkok: the streets smell like pee, but the rooms ar bug-free

June 23, 2010

We’re back in Bangkok. Finally, out of the country, and into a city. I tried to google map our hotel, the Perfect Place… whoa. I have no idea what’s happening. It looks like a game of battleship, and I have no idea where I am. I’m more confused than before I started. It looks like [...]
