Tae Yoon: Life from 2006-2021

with songkran, thailand's traditional new year's day, just a few weeks away, the country is almost at the peak of summer.

however, the weather for the past week or so has been really off and gloomy with constant cloudiness. the temperature has also been averaging to about sixty degrees fahrenheit (which is pretty cold for bangkok) and many thai natives have been remarking on how abnormal the weather is. the good news is that the weather today is finally hot and sunny again. you know, i used to hate hot weather because of my anomalous sweating problems but after being in thailand for a substantial amount of time, i've come to appreciate its tropical climate. it sort of feels good to get a nice sweat going on a daily basis with just a short walk outside.

one downside to all this sweating however is that a couple of my t-shirts are starting to stink. i've had moments where i'm out somewhere and i'll get a slight whiff of something funky, and then i'll realize it's me. i used to sweat the same amount back in nyc but i think the difference is the fact that i'm not able to throw my clothes in a dryer after washing them. i had the same odor problem last summer in korea as well, and it started soon after i had just left nyc. i'm convinced that drying your clothes in a machine after washing them helps keeps odors at a distance, but unfortunately asia is not a dryer-friendly place and they're not common to come by.

speaking of clothes, i'm getting pretty bored of everything i own. i've been wearing mostly the same stuff for almost a year now and am in desperate need of some new items. if only there was a j.crew outlet in bangkok that sold everything in a size medium, that would be heaven.

alright, off to enjoy the day.
