Chula Soi 6...The Street Impossible to Find on a Map

Today Kate, my new roommate, and I woke up around 8am. We walked about two miles or so to a local park, Lumphini Park, and went for a jog. Kate is from Seattle and we seem to have a lot in common. We were both college athletes and are both extremely open-minded and non-judgmental toward others. I enjoyed the park. There were plenty of runners, but it was not overcrowded. On our way back, Kate and I got lost for about a half hour, as we walked in squares around the area of the dorm at Chulalongkorn University where we are staying. The map we had is perhaps the least detailed map of all time. In fact, we decided we would burn it upon return to the dorm. When we finally found the dorm, we decided that getting lost our first morning in Bangkok was actually a good thing. We now understand a bit more about the numbering system of the nearby streets and alleys. As it turned out, neither of us possessed matches or a desire to set perfectly good paper on fire –so, the map lives on.
