2026-W01: Reflections

Happy New Year! (It’s still okay to say so until the 6th, right?) Anyway – I have already gotten some feedback on the very pink look of this website and it was mostly: maybe turn it down a little. I might just do that – not by changing the pink but by tweaking other elements to make it a bit more harmonious.

Anyway – as I’m typing this, I’m at Suvarnabhumi Airport waiting for my flight to bring me back home. The week in Bangkok went by pretty fast – and somehow not fast at all. I did have some time to ponder life – an activity that I usually try to suppress by all means necessary. I’m just not too sure what to do with the many open-ended ideas and questions.

The New Year’s celebration was a bit funny. Some people camped out starting in the afternoon to get a good view of the big firework over the Chao Phraya River. I didn’t – I took a nap until eleven PM, walked over to a pier, saw a tiny bit of fireworks between a tree and a building, walked around a bit and was back in bed by 12:30.

I joined a group sightseeing tour for the first time in my life and it was quite an experience. At some point the other people in the tour turned out to be more interesting than the actual sights, but maybe that’s just how it is.
