Surprisingly once again, it is actually saturday. In Thailand it has been The drinking day for us. We usually go out on saturday evenings, rather than friday, because in Thailand saturday is a work/school day for a big majority of people. It would actually be for us too, but we chose not to take any courses on saturday, for some obvious reasons of course.
There might not be so much people out partying on fridays than saturdays so we keep ourselves to saturday. Sometimes both days, but mainly not.
Today we woke up around nine or ten in the morning. Not too much after that we found ourselves on the tennis court. The sun was shining very hot, and 1 hour of tennis really got us wet. It was a manly event, I tell you. Finally I actually got some color on my skin, just 2 hours of sun in Bangkok for me so far, and already colored like a brownie. It really feels good.
Yesterday started the royal cremation of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana here in Thailand. She was highly liked amongst the thai people, and most of the thais are paying their respect to the princess by dressing in black clothes during this period. The period lasts for 6 days according to the royal family. Today was the great ceremony in Bangkok, million people watched it live I've heard, and a lot more on the television.

Maybe the worst thing for us is really that alcohol is prohibited under this period. It is true. There is no selling of alcohol, officially, and bars should be closed, but not if they serve food. You know what, most bars serve food here. Atleast those we have been to. I believe that there is some bars in Bangkok that will serve beer for us today. We are going to find out this sometime now.
It is fricking saturday and most likely we have to be without our life elixir, yes, alcohol. I really need alcohol after such a rough week. And I can't get anything done without it. So, I got a song for you, explaining my relationship with alcohol.
This time the album version and not a live one. Just because I think the live videos on youtube weren't good, and Jagger didn't pull the song off very well either.
On the haunt for the missing beers.
