woah, passport dramas indeed. glad to hear you didn't lose your onion soup for good, that would have been a tragedy beyond comprehension!

I'm going to a self strorage facility. They charge somewhere in the vicinity of 100 baht per week to store a bag, but I suspect that that'll just be on a shelf somewhere, so I'm gonna see what the deal is with their boxy locky things. It's a good idea if you're here for a while... the place I'm going to has a 1 month minimum. Even if you're not, the 1 month fee is probably gonna be waaaay cheaper than airport storage anyway.

Only problem is now I have to find the place. I see a long bus trip filled with car exhaust fumes in my near future...

But yay that the journey is well under way. I look forward to living vicariously through you with the world of travel!
