Moving Day

Well, it has finally happened! We’ve moved into the townhouse!

Moving was a chaotic day of checking out of the hotel, meeting with our real estate agent, Nong, D heading off to work, Nong and I heading to the townhouse for a walk-through with the building manager and meeting the shippers who had our boxes from home, the building manager deciding to have the place sprayed for mosquitoes, waiting for D to arrive with all our stuff, and waiting for the boys to arrive via the vet! I did end up having lunch with Nong at MK Restaurant, a local chain of suki/hot pot restaurants. It was very good, and I don’t think I’ve eaten so much since we’ve been here. Nong ordered all the fixings and was pretty insistent on tasting everything.

In the afternoon, D arrived with all our luggage from the hotel, and soon after the vet arrived with the boys. It was a joyous reunion and they were quite happy to see us. Finally we were all together again! Since we had no pots, pans, plates, silverware or real food items, we decided to explore our new neighborhood and find something for dinner. At the end of our Soi (not to be confused with our sub-soi!) is a small mini-mall. We found a café that serves up some really delicious Thai food in a chill atmosphere. We had veggie Tom Yam (since it is typically made with shrimp aka death!) that was fantastic! The flavors and the layering of said flavors were amazing! D ordered noodles with black soy sauce and chicken, and I ordered green curry with chicken. The noodles were good, and the green curry was some of the best I’ve ever had. My mouth is watering typing about it. Rich and pungent, so good! I think we have found our new neighborhood place.
