Good God it is hot

The guest house I'm in has a fan but no air-conditioning and the fan tends to just move the hot air around a bit as opposed to cooling it in some fashion. I have to wait until Thursday until my visas for Lao and Vietnam are ready (Bangkok is the easiest place to get them, you just let a travel company do all the work rather than trek around to embassy's yourself) so I'm stuck here until then. I will be glad to get out of this city as it is so full-on and sticky. Hopefully moving up country it will be cooler or at least there will be outdoors areas where you can sit in the shade and read. Here you either sit in your room which is a bit boring or sit on a street corner where you immediately get accosted by vendors trying to sell you bracelets and tuk-tuk rides and inexplicably giant zippo lighters about 10 inches tall. Not sure why you would want one unless you have some colossal cigarettes to go with it.
Had a pizza today. Felt very guilty, only been here a week and already felt compelled to eat some comfort scoff. Still, everyone knows Thai food is rubbish.
