Stalker Alert!

I have a stalker. Like a proper weird person following me!!!

The other night, I think Saturday, eve and I went to Lamai Walking Street (basically a night market on the streets) and ended up getting into a conversation with a Bangladeshi tailor. He was nice enough but I usually just say hi and walk past, they are always trying to find a way to sell you a suit, 'hello, how are you', 'where are you from', 'what job do you do', 'ah you need a suit for that'... And so the patter goes.

He was asking the usual and seemed ok but it was harder than normal to bring the conversation to an end. Didn't think anything of it...

Monday night I'd had stayed in town to go online and eve went home because she'd been in work and wanted a shower. I got a motorbike taxi home (I think they're amazing!) and he dropped me at the end of the path to the bungalow, i walk up the stair and spark a cig after saying hi to Eve. within a minute or two this tailor turns up on his bike, i didn't recognise him and shout for eve in case it was the landlord or something. She knew it was this fella straight away so I talked politely for a couple of minutes when he parked up his bike and came up the stairs to the balcony without being invited and tried to walk in the house but Eve subtly stood up and in the door way to stop him.

So he asks what I'm doing, how long I'm here for, had to lie through my teeth about seeing friends, going to bed early etc. Took five times at least of me saying I'm going to bed to get rid of him!

it's so freaky that he went to the effort to follow me home, he must have seen me go past on the motorbike and jumped on his straight away, he doesn't live near at all! So we've told the neighbours to keep a look out including a Thai girl who can phone the police if necessary. The joys of travelling alone! Don't know what I would have done if I were staying on my own!
