July 13, 2001 - Friday - Bangkok, Thailand to Oslo, Norway

Grant - frame capture from his good-bye video to me.

By the time I woke up, I still didn't hear from Michael or Grant, so I went off and had some brekkie. After lunch, I got a knock on the door saying that it's room service - it turned out to be Michael and Grant at the door with their backpacks. Their bus broke down with a flat tire last night so they didn't get in until 3:30 this morning and stayed at a dodgy place.

It was great to see them again after being in Bangkok alone this whole time. We exchanged handshakes with big grins on our faces and started exchanging stories of what we've done in the past few days.

We went walking around a little bit and I soon got tired and went back to the room while they search out the hostel. We finally met up again toward the evening and I packed a box and mailed it back to the States, so we went to a KFC to eat some dinner because that was the only thing I could stomach that evening.

They hung out with me for the rest of the evening, which was pretty nice of them to do, and waited with me when my airport taxi picked me up. After exchanging hugs and handshakes, I parted company with them and headed to the airport. I checked in and got on the Thai Airways plane and flew to Frankfurt without anything interesting happening.
