Finally going out...meeting people...






2 days since my last post...when I was a little down..BUT I think Im on the right track again..I went out Thiursday and Friday and had a lot of fun..
Thursday I met my scottish friend, who is going to leave for Scotland with her Thai boyfriend for 3 weeks! So we went to Khao Sarn Rd and there are some very nice spots if you know where..so we went to massage, eat and then met her boyfriend plus friends and went drinking, since it will be there last day in town...
I was having a lot of fun and one of the friends (though being Thai) spoke very well English AND even French!! He is a cook and he was actually looking for a position in my Hotel and had an interview the same day! Would be nice if he will come to the Hotel...at elast a person t talk to...and thai
He asked me to go fishing one of these days so that was a very nice evening and Im slowly getting it together again..
Yesterday went out with some guys with the Hotel..it was nice as well...but they are very odd...I think it wasnt a good idea to go with them because only guys and 1 falang girl...wel you can imagine for yourself..finally at 4 oclock I was able to convince them to send me home with the taxi...
Here some pics...

What comes up must come down and down..and down..






So like written in the title, getting used to the nice company and actually talking with people all the time, sightseeing etc got me very 'high' this last week... The problem is now that they are gone again, I can not help but feel alone and somehow sad...I miss my family and friends...and I can not wait for my turn to go home again.
I think this is normal though and that I will get used to the 'loneliness' again. And its not that I am totally lonely...its jsut that I dont really have one person I can call or meet and tell this person everything, my state of mind..that is why in some strnge kind of way, this blog has become this 'friend'. I think already by only writing these things..that I will instantly feel better...
Not even 3 months to go and I have my parents visiting me at the end of October to which I can look forward to as well... so its not all bad ^^ and eventhough I feel a little down these times I think Im very lucky to be here to live a life for 6 months that a lot of people will never know. Afterall it is normal to feel homesick from time to time...no? If my readers want to cheer me up with something..please feel free to write a comment or to send a link or something ^^
Okay ... the pictures I will put will show u a lot of dishes we ate ... just to give u an ides...and after all food always cheers us up no? ^^ ...

Week with the boys!






This week I was pretty busy, but fortunatly not with work but with my 2 friends visiting me from Luxembourg. We had some very nice moments and in a whole it was almost the perfect week... The cherry on top of the whipped cream was of course the weekend in Krabi by the sea. We went diving, kayaking and basically just relaxed in front of the beach..with some beers, suncream and moskitospray ^^
The weather was pretty good it didnt rain our hotel was cheap and nice and the food was EXCELLENT!
All in all some amazing days in amazing Thailand! ^^
Unfortunately now everybody is gone and Im alone again...I think the contrast after this week is going to be hard for the next weeks...but I'll survive that as well! ;)

I think you could say that we did a loooot and saw a looot, we went to see the Grand Palace, Chinatown, PingPong Show, ate on the highest openair restaurant in Thaialnd.., went to see a Muay Thai fight, went to the VIP cinema session, went to a Thai/Expatriate Bar, called Saxophone and where they were playing some amazing music (bogband and jazz soul band, of course thai!!)...
I think I did more in this week then in the 3 months alltogether that I am here already... so now I have to save some money again, for a change ...

Okay I let the pictures speak for themselves...

This Saturday was a big competition between big Hotels and Restaurants mostly from Bangkok. So Ooy, whose boyfriend is the executive chef of Asia Hotels and who took part, and me went there to see the different competitions: Ice Carving, Food Carving, Cake Decorating, best Pasta Plate and best Bartender. Sofitel Silom Bangkok (our Hotel) took only part in one competition, which is the bartender one, for classical Cocktail and we won!! We won best performance and we won first place with the same guy! He is very talented and he will go to the Philipines now to take part in an even bigger bartender competition around Asia!! We were so proud!! I think there is going to be a big Party in V9 (our famous restaurant) sometimes next week. We'll see...
