So I managed to crash my motorbike 2 days ago and was taken to the hospital for xrays and a workup. Let me say, Thai hospitals are wonderful. And cheap too! 
I swerved my bike wide to miss a truck which was coming at me in my lane (evidently driving on the right OR the left is up to the driver!!) and I skidded my bike out and went over the sidewalk, bike on top of me.  It could have been much worse-- first I MISSED the truck entirely, and second I was able to push the bike off of me and roll into the gutter with nothing but a few scrapes and BIG bruises. Whew! No more biking for me!
I'm reverting back to my bikes are dangerous stance. I haven't riden one since, and don't plan on it.
Lucky for me I was also wearing my helmet, something BF refuses to do. I know, don't get me started.
So I've been kinda laid up for the last few days, just lounging by the hotel pool, scaring small children with my black and green legs.  But then my mom called me to tell me that my grandmother in France died. Freaky. About a few hours before my accident. Wow.
So here I sit in Bangkok, just having arrived at the hotel after an hour flight from Phuket. My room's not ready yet, so I'm just catching up a little on the boards and checking my email. I've bought some wonderful things so far including runners for the beds, lots of embriodered tshirts, and the gratuitous couple of Diesel tshirts it seems tourists here are obligated to wear. 
I'll try to get on when more of you are online!! Until then!--
