I
couldn't believe it, I had come all this way and now had no money.
Not knowing what to do I headed back to the guesthouse to try and
think and relax. I suddenly remembered what my fantastic parents had
given me just before I got on the train. It wasn't something I would
have ever thought of but I was now so grateful that they had. One
hundred pounds worth of travellers cheques would at least last the
three days I had left in Bangkok before flying out to Ho Chi Minh
City and I could get the card sorted before then. The pure relief was
so exhilarating! I headed downstairs with the ear to ear smile I
hoped would gravitate people to me. Five or six people were milling
around and chatting in the lounge I walked up and said hi to a
beautiful blonde girl and exaggerated the cheesy smile. She smiled
back and we began chatting for an hour or so then she said goodbye
and good luck, grabbed her bags and got in a taxi to the airport for
her flight to India. I could not believe how well I had done; I had
not felt scared or embarrassed at all, it was a rush to be so relaxed
around someone. Before she left she had given me her 'South-East Asia
On A Shoestring' book that would undoubtedly be invaluable throughout
the trip.
