The Room

Metropark Sathorn is an enormous new apartment complex that in some ways resembles a military compound. Talk about your gated community: all entrances are manned by uniformed guards who snap to attention and salute smartly with a loud, cheerful "Sawat-dii khrap" as I walk by. Key card checkpoints, digitally coded door locks, security cameras ... this should reassure all those folks who advised me to "stay safe."

My studio unit is ... functional. Clean, new, air-conditioned, furnished, exactly how you would picture really high-end campus housing. Which is fine, because school is why I'm here and the two places I'll spend the most time are the study desk and the bed. Oh, and the pool. Three places.

It's the weekend, work is all caught up, and it might be time to slip into vacay mode.
