* Suddenly it was flood time, in the infitisemally small ways of things, in the minute creatures he saw everywhere, in the rolling twirl of the giant dinosaur lizards mating in the corner of the lake in Limpini Park, looking for all the world as if they were in love. Twirling, splashing, nuzzling up against each other. Alex chose to have a private meeting with the old priest on the doorstep of the meeting. Just as well no one ever showed up early feeling like a yack, he thought, open mindedness, willingness, tolerance, what an effing bunch! He had seen everything and nothing, and suddenly the rainy season was finally here, the streets of Bangkok flooded in the pre-dawn as he picked his way across the flooded streets. Everything, everything, Aek said, gesturing at the new sound system and the new computer and their new never previously lived in apartment; and he grinned. Never before, never before. And that was true. Never before had he done these things. I'm happy here in Bangkok, he told his mother, as he worried about the repeated pleas of his daughter to return home. I've never heard you say that about any where, she answered, never. And so it was, every day dawned and he couldn't have been happier, it felt like home even if he was the eternal stranger; he had hardly exactly felt at home in his own city, in his own country.
