Thavorn submitted her visa application on Feb 6th. Processing times for a TRV (visitor's visa) to Canada is currently at 7 days. Today is the 7th day so we hope to hear from Canada sometime tomorrow. I spent today reading visa forums and it can take longer than the times listed. However, reading the visa forums made me realize that many people applying really do not understand the process or simply do not qualify for a visitor's visa. I don't relish the CIC (Canadian Immigration Center) staff their jobs.
My visitor's from Canada who are now in the wilds of Myanmar are not communicating much these days. Myanmar is definitely a developing country so I am not surprised. Two more friends arrive in Phuket around February 20th and will be in Thailand for a month. They plan on flying up to Bangkok for a few days in the City of Angels. It is always lots of fun to tour Bangkok with newbies :-)
I am still noticing more and more individual tourists from China which is much preferable over the bus loads that arrive and move like lemmings following their tour guides.
The weather has been great with the temperature being in the low 30's and then dropping to the mid 20's during the evening hours. Sure beats winter in the Great White North.
Valentine's Day has come and gone. It is just about as commercialized in Thailand as Canada. Thavorn. Thavorn decided to go out with her girl friends . They started partying in our condo about 9 pm and left at midnight for a local Thai night club that they like to frequent. Thavorn says, mostly Thais with the odd farang accompanying his Thai GF. She arrived home at 4 am and after brief spell chatting with the big white telephone fell asleep. As usual, she was out of commission most the the next day with a hangover.
Speaking of hangovers, the bar featured in the movie, 'Hangover 2' is one of the tamest bars on Soi Cowboy. They even have a sign outside stating as featured in Hangover 2. I assume the movie chose that bar to make sure they did not get a, 'Restricted' rating on the flick.
Tilac .. inside and out
My gym workouts are going well. Now all I need to do is lose the 3 kilos I gained while sick with that rotten cold that seemed to infect half the population of Bangkok. Eating stopped the coughing so eat .. I did :-)
