So, er..yeah. Life is pretty fucking strange when you get right into it.
This is my situation as it stands right now. I'm in an internet cafe in a tiny town in Laos called Vang Vieng. On the computer behind me is a beautiful Swiss girl, who's name, I think, is Veronique. I'll be sleeping with her tonight, apparently.
It's a completely financial thing, by which I mean, getting a little bamboo bungalow on the river was cheaper than getting two little bamboo bungalows on the river. I offered to sleep on the floor, and she looked at me as if I was gay. So now we're both in the bed. Which is fine with me, obviously. But I really can't imagine anything happening. And that's fine too.
Now, in the bar next door, and I mean literally next door, is an aussie girl called Jacqui. I met her in Bangkok about a week and a half ago. We got on really well for the three hours we spent together, before we had to split up and get separate trains to different sides of Thailand. So we text flirted for days and I was all set to endure the 12 hour bus ride to her, where we'd hook up and see what was what.
But I got really sick on some bad Thai water that a presumably well meaning monk gave me, and I couldn't move more than two paces away from the toilet! So she came to me. And this is a BAD journey. It ended up as being about fourteen hours on the bus and two by tuk tuk. I've never even heard of a two hour tuk tuk ride! So I figured she was pretty keen to see me. We then had a pretty nice couple of days, or so I thought, and then we crossed the border into Laos.
And at Laos immigration she gets chatted up by some aussie from her home town, and she disappears with him!
What the fuck?!
She kept texting me while she was with him to ask if I wanted to come travelling around with both of them, (er..no) and then they went up north together.
To Vang Vieng.
I gave them a couple of days head start, hoping they'd have moved on by the time I got there. But I just arrived and was having lunch with the Swiss girl, and I saw them walking towards us. And they crossed the road to avoid me seeing them!
For fuck's sake! I'm 34! I was too old for this about 20 years ago!
So, questions? Comments? Is this a normal travelling story? Or is my life just one big fucking soap opera? Should I fight my natural urge to get the much better looking Swiss girl drunk, and parade her around in front of her? (Just kidding)
Seriously, you guys have good advice from what I've read, help a brother out!
