	Martin bought the talking dictionary for Dao. Some US $ 75,-. Here is Dao with her dictionary. On a salary of US $ 500,- a month, she couldn't afford it. Martin can.
	Dao back in action at work. From the computer screen in the background, you can see a sleepy Orchid just getting out of bed Apr 3rd at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok. Then a quick lunch at Arthrit's restaurant where Martin met lovely Kik. There really are stacks of lovely women in Thailand. Martin loves to spend time with them.

The next day, Sunday April 12^th, Martin left for Norway on a sad note. He really would like to have stayed for another two weeks.
