Doing business my way and riding the whole BTS

Saturday, May 24.  Hi everyone!  I hope all are doing well.  I am doing very well, but tired and missing home a little.  But in a good way, and lots of good things are going on and I am enjoying myself.  Today, two new things happened.  One, I went to Sampeng by myself and talked to both the fabric guy and the hat guy, and did things my way.  I was straightforward, honest about what I want and need, and they responded in similar fashion.  Today we all moved forward in a bigger step than ever before.  Don't have all the answers yet, but are getting closer to figuring out how much each hat will cost to produce.  Ah yes, the golden number.

My second new thing was to ride the BTS, the above ground railcar system in Bangkok, from one end all the way to the other.  I started at the Jatujak station and rode it all the way to the On Nut station, where Nana and A Liang live.  Cool.  Only 40 Baht, or a little over a dollar.  

Next week, starting tomorrow, I will look to get the last bits of information about the hats and fabric, look to design and make some t-shirts and maybe some microfiber type golf shirts/mock turtle neck shirts, look for some fleece for Paula, and some containers and bags for Paula.  She may need some things for both her pie idea and her crafts idea.  And oh yeah, also change my business cards because of the silly company in Switzerland.  And I do think it's a real company, but we'll see.  Until tomorrow friends, enjoy the day and laugh a little and smile a lot!
