At 5 PM my day at the office is done. Around 5.30 PM I arrive at my condo, but what do I do every evening to not get bored or anything.

Netflix, sport, eat, Netflix, sleep
The day after work is actually not so special. Though, you need to make it fun and busy for yourself to not get any bored. When I arrive at my condo I normally go and lay on my couch to watch some Netflix (mostly Friends or How I Met Your Mother). Besides watching Netflix I am calling through Skype or Face-time with Ranice, my parents or my siblings. Just to tell them about my day, ask them how their day is going and if they experienced something special or anything. After an hour of relaxing I go out again. I try to do different things, but it is always sports related. I go to the gym, which is in my condo and where I am actually always the only person in the room. So I can use all of the equipment I want and listen to some music by putting it on my speakers. Twice a week I am going to play some soccer too. Normally on Tuesdays and Fridays I join a group of guys who play soccer for 2 hours with 3 or 4 teams and they rotate after each 10 minute match. Here I can stay in shape, because it is still hot at 7AM and I am sweating a lot. Besides the soccer and the gym I sometimes go with some colleagues to play badminton for 2 hours. This is in a large gym hall with almost 20 badminton courses.

After I have finished working out or playing soccer or badminton I take a quick shower and go to one of the 100 restaurants that are settled at my street. The food differs every night. Sometimes it is just plain rice with pork, chicken or beef. Sometimes I order a papaya salad (Mi phed = not spicy) with a pad krapow (rice with minced prok). I also order pad see ew moo (fried noodles with pork), or if I want something else then Thai food I go to a nice Steak restaurant where they also have Belgium beers. After I have had my meal, I go back to my condo, normally it is around 9:30 AM already, so I watch another episode of Netflix and then go to bed.
