Tired but can't sleep, seems like a good time for a blog update.
Been here is Chiang Mai (Thailand) for almost three weeks now and don't have a bad thing to say about the place. If you get a chance, check this place out.
The currency here is awesome as well. No fractions or decimals, just nice simple whole bhat, it makes things so much easier. (31bhat = $1, bottle of water = 7bhat, standard street meal = 40bhat) Beautiful!
Starting to get back in the grove of playing (poker). Staying focused on learning and improving is always a struggle when you are seeing money flung back and forth with a clicks of a mice and turns of cards. Keeping a "real" perspective is also hard for me as when I have 4 winning days in a row I feel like I am god's gift to the poker universe, but after a just few losing days I start question my whole career path. It is just crazy stupid how short our memories are and how our prospective on something we thought we were sure about can change so fast and due to something so small (or nothing at all!).
Here for at least another week or two.....then who knows....anyways.....
