(Katherine) We once again ventured to the hospital this morning where a very nice doctor gave me bad news - my eye infection had gotten worse. He recommended that I spend the night in the hospital, but I swore that we would administer my eye drops as diligently as a nurse and he conceded - whew! We returned to the hotel and decided to check out our rooftop pool for the first time. I can’t believe we didn’t head up there sooner because it is lovely! It’s a nice sized pool with a 360 view of the western edge of Bangkok; we will definitely be spending more time up here.
Tonight we also had our first real set of social plans; we had two new people from Airbnb to meet for drinks and dinner. Daniel (Venetia’s brother) and Justin were heading up the Chicago customer service branch (a.k.a. their apartment) until they recently were assigned to focus on building up the SE Asia market. Right now they are traveling from one Airbnb apartment to the next and try to sign up new clients along their journey…what I would have considered to be a dream job back in my 20’s! They met us at Hippie de Bar on Khoasan Road and brought along Julia, a Bangkok host. After a few drinks, she lead the way to a Lebanese restaurant called Namaste where we indulged in traditional dishes. Afterward, we introduced Daniel to Robert’s favorite dessert on the street - Mango with Sticky Rice. It was wonderful to meet more members of the Airbnb family, and we’re looking forward to hanging out with these guys again in Bangkok!
