A Visit to the Coal Face

I ventured out to visit my workplace for the first time. It was described as being outside Bangkok, by which they meant way outside Bangkok. Think Nth Thornbury from the CBD. It took an hour to get there, and that was using the tollway, against the traffic and when there was fortunately no traffic jams. Work’s situated on a university campus full of open spaces and trees. Apparently there are large lizards that live in the multiple pools around the place, but so far they’re a bit like the drop bears from what I can see.

Today also prompted my first visit to an international chain – Starbucks. Look, it’s not my fault – I needed somewhere air-conditioned and quiet to write this. OK.

TOLLWAY COUNT: 4
LIZARD COUNT: 0
