two nights in Bangkok and…

...she is sitting in the airplane back to Vietnam again. On the first evening I still thought that inviting Thuy was a full success. She said that Singapore was not nice at all whereas Bangkok was nice and funny. She was totally impressed by Khao Sarn Road and paid her attention to every little detail, staring for minutes at all what’s on offer, such as the “dread your hair” guys at work, people carefully painting henna-tattoos, people cooking and selling Pad Thai and other local specialities, at all the stalls and shops. But later that night she could not sleep for some reason. She could not eat Thai food, could not breathe in this big city and would not survive until our appointment at the hospital, as she said. It would have been an important milestone in our relationship, but instead this event became very disappointing. We don’t know whether we can keep on this relationship in the way we did it before. I have to make a point right now. Maybe I was demanding too much. Maybe it simply doesn’t fit. For sure we will stay friends, and we will remain close. But maybe a relationship won’t work any further. When she left, it was a sad and stressful day, but yet, I was relaxed then. Much as I love her, life is maybe easier without her… unfortunately.
