Anybody Need Shoes Repaired?

Today after my Thai lesson, Kruu Yu and I ate lunch together--kanom jeen, another sort of Chinese food available here. Yu tells me that almost no farang like this food. I'm not sure why; I think it's really tasty. It's a noodle dish served with lots of fresh herbs, vegetables, and hard boiled eggs. OH, I just remembered why farang might not like it; supposedly they often have stomach issues after eating it. Not me! Maybe my stomach is made of iron (or not!).

After lunch we found a shoe repairman sitting at his table under a stairway leading to the sky train. I had a sandal that came apart 3 weeks after I bought the pair. Yu told me it is very inexpensive to repair them. Sure enough, this guy charged me 30 baht for gluing and sewing the strap back in place. That's about a dollar. Now I have my shoes to wear again! Yea!

Hey, tell Khruu Yu that I say hi. It has been a while, and I would love to chat with her again.

So are your sandals that smelly?(G)...
