Run To The Future

They have quanrantined me in Laos because they think I might have the swine flu. Bummer. When I arrived here the other night, I went in the queue for people with a visa, and I was quite upset when they rejected my visa and said go buy another one. But I had just bought one only a few days earlier, and it lasts 30 days! Yeah, it lasts 30 days if you don't leave the country! It's a single entry visa. Fuck I'm dumb. So my 18 hours in Laos cost me $30US on top of the rest of it. Anyway, when buying the new visa, they asked for a passport photo. All my photos were in my checked luggage, so I didn't have one. Therefore they charged me an extra $1US for the photo...um, but they didn't take another photo of me, so really, they charged $1US for ignoring the fact I didn't have a photo. Hmmm. Anyway, I got a room in the guesthouse where Cathy lives. It's quite nice. Except for the chicken (well, rooster) who crows to let everyone know its three hours before dawn. Fucking chicken. The neighbours are going to wake up to find a dead chicken (rooster) one of these days. They'll probably think it's died of SARS or Avian Bird Flu, or even Pig Flu, unless they look closely at the big fat strangle marks around its neck. I had a banana/coffee smoothie. It was fucking disgusting. I feel like vomiting now. Don't ever have a banana/coffee smoothie.
