We Moved!
More than six hours of driving later, through the rain in the darkening afternoon through the mountains on a pothole filled highway, in a car with no power steering or power anything, we made it to our new house. new house balcony, looking in and looking out We still don't have a truck to drive. It's with the 3rd mechanic now I think. Apparently the first guy could take it apart but didn't know how to put it together. In typical Thai fashion though he didn't just admit that, because then he might lose face. Instead he lied, said he was waiting for parts and then, when pressured, tried to put the thing together and did it wrong, causing even more damage. It was just a cracked engine block before. Now all the valves need replacing too. But we're here, in a lovely house that I had never seen before the night we pulled up to it. BamBam's first response was, "Me wuv my new house!" That pretty much sums it up. There is enough room for us,
