6 THE FINAL WEEKS IN PATTAYAThe final few weeks in Pattaya were a real scramble. Lek was concerned with visiting all her friends several times and then saying goodbye to them all several times too as if she were emigrating on a one-way ticket to a dense jungle in deepest Central Africa. Craig rarely saw her alone and even then it was only to sleep. On the other hand, he was trying to find out if there were any programmes he needed to buy while he could, because there was nothing where he was going. He also needed another visa and wanted to find out about IPstar as a backup in case the trees kept growing in his way. Lek had already assured him that there were telephone lines in the village.
Craig usually started work immediately after getting up and waited for Lek to get back from shopping
