Lazy start, fun day


David - 7 July, Mae Sot


A lazy start to the day, as we were all shattered after lots of cycling yesterday. We finally moseyed along to Canadian Dave's and ate about 11. Livvy had cheesy beans, and she was delighted. Later, she are some chickpeas and roti, which was most unexpected.


Canadian Dave's is run by a moustachioed Canadian. His name is Dave.


After moving rooms into the newer, nicer part of DK (the older bit is fine, but a little dark, dingy and old colonial) we walked own to Borderline to meet Lisa and her kids. Lisa is originally from Edinburgh but has worked for many years in the Mae Tao Clinic, a hospital for the Burmese refugee community which also oversees CDC School.Her husband, Rocky (who is Burmese) wasn't there, but her kids Jack & Ailsa were. Thy were a bit shy at first but came out eventually and we had a lovely lunch and a good chat. We arranged to meet them for a swim at the Mae Sot Hill Resort, a fairly posh hotel but now slightly faded. It took us about 15 mins to cycle there and the outdoor pool was big and great and we had it to ourselves for ages before a man with a very hairy back arrived. The kids all had a ball and Livvy got on really well with Jack (they are very close in age) and Imogen & Ailsa, who is five, took a real shine to each other.


Seth & I played tennis for an hour (6-0, 6-0 - no mercy) which was fun, then we cycled back and as it was almost 7, got changed quickly and headed out to visit a local market. There was lots of tat, as ever, but we enjoyed watching some teenage boys having an amazing dancing competition on a thin mat on the floor near the start of the market. They were brilliant.

  1. You also should make sure that the lender has the best
    loan terms and conditions, and you may also want to ask
    the lender to be forthright about any unmentioned fees. Drop by drop saving can help a person to repay the
    payday loan quickly and lead a tension free life. Such kind of financial complexities often disturb the life of
    some people at the old age.

    In order to apply for these loans you can
    make use of online application procedure. The payday
    loan lenders almost hope that you can't meet the first payment so that you start accruing interest rates that are extremely high.

  3. Rising prices for gas, electricity and other basics of the cost of living mean that many people are finding their budget
    stretched more than in the past. DTI is an important factor in how a person can run their finances.

    If you do pay employees on commission, you may also want
    to explore sales commission software like Qcommission that integrates with accounting systems like Intuit's Quickbooks.

  4. A copy of the most recent bank statement is needed, and a check will need to
    be written in an amount of the loan payable to the company.

    These sorts of loans are extremely popular especially
    in the UK, a country whose economy is starting
    to shake. Know your alternatives before considering payday loans.
