Rice Grains

Today I went to the office to pay my rent and spontaneously asked if I could bring cake to celebrate my birthday sometime this weekend. Kitti instantly agreed and the time was set for 7:00 tonight. Only he told me his wife would cook duck for me.

When I arrived in the office this evening, a huge spread lay before me. Kitti told me that he had invited my landlords to come as well, and though they couldn't come, they told him to make sure to give me a delicious meal.

So we had a crab dish, 2 shrimp dishes, and squid stuffed with pork. They kept telling me this is a special day, so I need to eat a lot. And Rung, Kitti's wife, kept peeling shrimp and crab for me. Did I ever feel pampered! Kitti even joked that his wife was taking better care of me than him. But he balanced that later on by telling me what a good wife he has.

I ended up spending most of the eveing there in the office, and we never got to the cake, so they are insisting that I return tomorrow night for the cake. Not sure if they will include a meal this time or not. I'm a little afraid to eat too much beforehand because I suspect they will at least have a little something else.

Regarding my trip to Korat, I had a WONDERFUL time. I hope to do a few blogs about that trip tomorrow.
