The only other thing of note that happened was Meredith and I took a cab back from somewhere and our cab driver's name was Diallo Amadou! (Any chance any Fulbe people read this? Is that a really common name or is this pretty rare?)
...meaningful-video-game-release-date! In this case, ladies and gentleman, the game in question was ROCKBAND! My brother and I are huge Guitar Hero fans and we'd been waiting on it for months!
Here's where we left off! Meredith in a cab smiling about picking up our two pet rats that Mandy was nice enough to look after for us while we took a month-long trip to the United Arab Emirates and then Thailand!
We spent Saturday afternoon getting settled back into our apartment. Meredith was jet-lagged and called it a night...
We dropped off our bags and immediately went uptown to Mandy's apartment to pick up our two rat ladies that she was nice enough to take care of in our absence. (Thanks again, Mandy!)
We didn't have any luggage checked, so as soon as we got off the plane, we hailed a taxi and asked to be taken right to Khao San Road - which is pretty much the jumping off point for all backpackers looking for cheap accommodations.
My train ride back home was uneventful. But I decided to catch a cab from Penn Station cross-town and my drivers name was Harriram Supersad! Awwww! Cheer up buddy!
Then I made sure I could use my new camera to take pictures of myself where you can't really tell that I'm the one holding the camera. (Which is important when you travel by yourself!)
