Bangkok Protocol Item 1

Here is the protocol for coming home after work in Bangkok:

1.  Walk up the stairs in non air conditioned building in order to avoid the oppressive heat of standing in a tiny elevator with sixty seven other people.

2. Stand sweating at door trying to dig key out of the very bottom of your bag because you're too sleepy and impatient in the morning to put it somewhere more convenient.

3.  Walk through door and immediately(before even closing it all the way) start stripping off clothing while walking toward air conditioning switch.  Turn on AC and also the fan you have in your room.

4.  Position fan 1 foot away from you and lie naked on your bed until you stop feeling like you have been walking on the surface of the sun.

5.  Shower.
