The scene is a crowded Bangkok Internet cafe. The protagonist is a pudgy, 50 something American with a southern accent. The man sits down and calls his family on Skype. Because on Skype you use headphones (there is no phone booth) and because of his projecting voice, we hear a several hour phone call I never thought would be so public. Things about this nice man Nisha and I now know:
- Evidently he has been married for 2 weeks to a Thai woman (we did not hear how they met), I am assuming some kind of mail order bride.
- She does not know much English, but their connection is like nothing he has ever felt before.
- He has never been so happy in his life, every day keeps getting better and better.
- The lord and/or Jesus are responsible for the proceeding.
- His new Thai wife likes to sleep draped all over him in a non-sexual way.
- She is a massage lady and he hopes that she can get a job as such in the US.
- He knows someone who knows someone who works in Dick Durbin's (US Senator) office, thus her Visa is assured.
- He gives her a $20 dollar a week allowance, which goes a long way in Thailand.
Gotta love Bangkok!!!
