Good question David. Telling the time in Thailand and organising things with Thais forces me to pause and think about it. You can almost see the cogs in my head spinning round trying to figure out if we're going out at night or afternoon

At the level of Thai I am at telling the time is one of the hardest things I have tried to memorise as it doesn't come naturally to me.

Were the watches you saw on-line? I can't find one anywhere to buy on-line but would like a decent wristwatch.

They were being sold on eBay a few weeks (months?) back. Someone had a supply of ladies and gentleman's because after each was sold it there was another auction but there are none today. Seemed good price at #10 but I rarely wear a watch at home and if I do it *must* have a fabric strap.

When we are together Ubonwan will do something like tell me we should go somewhere at 'two' and point to 8 on my watch.

Been meaning to ask this question a while but was reminded of it when she told me today she will call me at 'four' tomorrow (10 am so she will wake me at 3 am)

for a money transfer number to pick up some cash at the bank. Time for her to arrange hotels and train tickets for my arrival in December as it's November 1 tomorrow.
