Map of town

In case anyone was interested, here is a map of town--a couple years outdated, but it still gives a decent idea of what there is here.  Funny note: the road I walk down every day to the market is called Cheetabut.  Now I will have to laugh every time. (http://hobomaps.com/NanCentralMap.gif)

In other news, I have been a bit sick the last week or so--traveller's stomach finally hit me.  Despite a few rounds of antibiotics it wasn't going away, so yesterday I endeavored to see a doctor.  Easier said than done, since this is the queen's birthday weekend.  So I ended up going to the hospital.  Side note: the nurses totally still wear the little hats!  Seemed like a flashback to the 50's.  The hospital was a bit weird--not what I would call "modern", but it worked for me.  Translation: if I were in an accident or really sick, I would definitely be headed to Chiang Mai or Bangkok.  All that being said, I was able to see an English (sort of) speaking doctor pretty quickly who got me more antibiotics (longer treatment period) and some rehydration salts, since my blood pressure was pretty low.  So the trip turned out pretty well.

Anyway, that is all for now.  I have a big blog post in the works updating you on the floods form a couple weeks ago, but that will have to wait until I have a bit more energy.  See you soon!
