Notes from elsewhere
Short notes from the places I've been, written a few days after, when the details are still loud. Each one ends with the small paper thing I kept.

The long way homeกรุงเทพฯ

kept: a night-market receipt, ferry ticket stapled on

kept: an overnight train ticket

kept: a boarding pass, seat 23A
