good to hear from you.

Stay safe and enjoy your time in Thailand. Give my best to Ms N______ and her family

Thanks Keith.
Yes, Ms. Nong actually in the evenings go cycling. So far I have spent 210 days in Bangkok, Thailand. I got both my car and motorcycle license here and currently staying in a 5 star hotel in Bangkok. (lol). I did move the other day from the apartment I ‘ve been renting for a year and a half. It was no longer safe so now until I leave, I’m in a hotel run by an Englishman and his Thai wife.

Life here can be a bit boring, but I have 2 hobbies to keep me active. The other night a Thai friend and I jammed for over 2 hours on my ukulele’s . I’ve bought 3 of them so far.

People in the past said Thailand is low cost, not any more. My SS doesn’t go far and remember I still have expenses to pay in Japan. heck, I don’t care, I owe no one any money. So as I say,” the wind is my roadmap ” in my life.

When I get back to Japan, I hope to go cycling and camping for a month. McDonald’s gave me another year commitment, which I agreed, but they also know that I travel have the year.

Hope is going all well for you.

Happy BDay Pete . You just caught up to me but I have another BD coming up soon. Glad you are still biking around. Just had the same problem trying to post a pic of the new guitar. After some frustration I used a free site called Compress 2 Go and that worked. My old windows 7 computer just uploaded pics no problem. 🤷‍♂️

Hi Mike
Thanks for your reply. Well, I did get my motorcycle license here in Thailand, also car license too. There is a new model Yamaha PG 1 115cc I have my eyes one. It’s not a power machine, but I think it might be OK touring Thailand. I am biking locally here, but the roads are terrible . Thailand is NOT a cyclist paradise. Why, well, you have stray dogs everywhere and yes, they do attack one. I wish I had my Colt 45, there’d be a few less dogs, but really I am serious. People here just let there dogs go wild because, well I don’t know, but these dogs carry rabies. It is a serious condition here.
Anyway, I’ll be heading back soon to Hiroshima ( near ) and hopefully put my tent and sleeping bag on my trusted bicycle and tour southern Japan.

Not too long ago, I spent 43 days camping near a beach in Ishikaki, Okinawa. Now, that is something I would recommend all to do.

Hey, Mike, let’s enjoy life to its fullest.
