I don't dislike this city, but I very much hope I can get on the earlier flight to Israel (3rd of September) because I seriously don't know how I'll spend the time here until the 6th. ... http://www.rationalistic.com/2007/08/31/travel/bangkok-take-iii/ I'm not even within a week's radius of landing in Israel and already I'm pissed at Israelis again.

Do you realize how small ... http://www.rationalistic.com/2007/08/30/travel/already/
