Phonecall to Eric

Today, I called Eric (and actually got through for once!).

It was good to catch up. I can't believe I'll be in Thailand by Friday. That's five days from now. And then another two more until I go to the park.

Eric offered to drive me to the mall so I can get a cellphone. When I get to the guesthouse on Friday, I will give him a call. After I get hooked up with a number, I'll probably get to meet his family.

I found out he has SIX children. I wish I knew earlier so I could have sent them something in the mail. He said he never told me because I never asked. He doesn't look THAT old but I remember that most of the staff at the park surprised me with their age.

Good news. I didn't get Pon's birthday wrong. Eric received the package and he was able to give it to him on his actual birthday. I hope he liked it.
