A True Fan!!

I think that you will never believe the story I am about to tell you. As most of you know I LOVE basketball and ever since I was about 5 I loved the Lakers. Of course because I lived in LA and my dad loved them and because they are the best team! :)
But all that is beside the point! I know live in Thailand and so watching the games in a sports bar is not going to happen, especially since the game is on in the morning here. So, I go up to Ubon because I will teach up there for a week and it happens to be the same week the Lakers are in the finals. So I thought, I will get a hotel room one night and we can watch the game in the morning before we check out. My friend said that would be okay! Well, it would be okay if anyone in Ubon had American television. We called 5 or 6 hotels to see if they had ESPN. They not only didn't have it but had never heard of it. These hotels called themselves 5-Star hotels. At the house in Ubon there is not internet, well now there is but it is dial-up and so slow that we can not really use it. So of course, my favorite place, Starbucks, saves the day! They have high speed internet, good coffee, a good atmosphere, and good snacks. So, to Starbucks we went. We sat there for 3 hours and read the play by play of game 3! By the way they won that game!! Go Lakers! Not as exciting as watching the game but when you are a fan, living in Thailand, with no other options, you gotta do what you can!
