Meeting an old friend
Von w-scharfenberg, 15:56Holger went to Trat, the next city, very early. Later I give Barbara a lift to Trat, too. Kurt is still sleeping when we are leaving.
I go back in the direction of Bangkok. On my way I pass Chonburi. Here two old friends of mine, Nuanjay and Graeme, lived years ago. I try to find them. My first way is to the policestation. They explain to me, how to get to the right part of the city. There I have to ask several people, everybody tries to help but it is really difficult. First because of the language and second because of the complicated "system" of addresses here.
Finaly they call me a motorbike taxi. I have to follow him. But even he needs about 15min for the last 100m. And than I get the bad news: They don`t live here anymore... moved away about 3 years ago.
One of the neighbours is writing something down, handles it over to the driver and explains something ... A new try. This time we`re going to a school...the driver gives the paper to the porter, and, some minutes later Nuan stands in front of me!
Of cause she is busy today, but we will meet tomorrow. She´s booking a room for me at the Bangsaen beach, a tourist-place for Thais. I eat some Thai food and drink ... Hefeweizen! That's good at these temperatures!
