Yeah, losing friends. Somewhat like hair loss eheh, needs
regular maintenance. I make it a point to keep in touch with those
I still have, going to makan , movies, etc.
Thanks for the BKK recs , I've noted them down. We're hoping to
make our way around when we get there , maybe bring along a
guidebook borrowed from the library. Hope we don't get too lost in
the process. Would love to get some household stuff but scared of
the hauling and freight 
Meanwhile, I have a shopping list made wahahha... *repeats mantra:
" restraint, restraint ....
