Today was a very interesting day! I took Josh for a coffee and a muffin (coffee for me, muffin for the little man) and afterwards dropped him off at school. Then met with my realtor and her husband for some early lunch - they actually offered me quite a lot of SEO work if I am interested in taking it on. They own a very large software company in Germany and have a large client base that needs SEO done on their sites. So after that I met with some other friends at Immigration in Chiang Mai. I bought a second-hand BMW last week and in order to get it in my name, I need to get a certificate of residency for thailand. In order to get that, I need a ton of documents as well as a longterm visa. My visa is expiring in a couple of months and I'm in the process of getting Josh approved for an education visa (yes, as a 3-yr-old he can do that)! And I actually will get a dependency visa - which is hilarious - I'll be allowed to live here no problems longterm as my son's dependent! In order to get that approved, I need to transfer 500,000 thai baht into my thai account here, need to have a lot of paperwork filled out and then have it all signed, stamped and approved by the governer of Chiang Mai. This is a very tough task to accomplish - the thing about the Governer approving it all. I saw the stack of papers my son's principal was so kind to prepare and that is nearly done. BUT, until it is completed, I cannot get a certificate of residency, meaning I am driving around a car that is actually still in the car dealer's name - if he wanted to - he could call the cops and say I stole it! So drama drama drama. I don't know if anything I just wrote there makes sense - it's just my ramblings.

Ok so after all that, returned home (had no time to do any work) and answered a few emails and took off on my 30 minute drive to pickup Josh. On my way there I noticed that there were two foreigners and a thai woman who looked like they had just gotten in a crash at the intersection. No one was badly hurt, but the woman hurt her leg and cut her hand open a bit. I saw them as I was passing and couldn't stop because of cars behind me. In thailand I noticed that no one stops to help - they just stare. So I did a U-Turn and another U-Turn and pulled over and offered them a ride. The woman turned around to look at me when I walked up to them and turns out it was actually a man (living as a woman) with long hair - most people wouldn't know the difference but I've lived in Thailand long enough to know. lol…so I took her - her name was Noi to her apartment and it was on my way to get Josh. She asked me for my phone number and told me about her boyfriend - as she referred to him as her "darling." They were going on a motorcycle ride into the mountains to see the flowers - all the mountains are blooming and gorgeous this time of year. Then they were making a turn at the lights and some people cut them off and hit them as well, then zoomed off into the distance. How nice, right. I think i will make myself a nice car first aid kit because I've seen quite a few accidents already. What a day!
