I will post my daily journal later on. As of now I am exhuasted and running out of time.
For now, please enjoy this video of me and my elephant ride!
Instead of a journal for this day I'll keep it short. I keep running out of time for things!!
A Few Observations:
Most places, even businesses require you to take off your shoes before entering.
Most people ride scooters – there are more of them than cars. But there seems to be no law requiring helmets, regulating how many people can be on one, and where they can drive. Also, babies are carried on the laps of the driver – no safety belt, no helmet, just out in the open.
The language barrier has not been too hard to overcome. Here are some words that I have learned and used on a regular basis:
Sawas-dee ka – Hello
Kawrp-koon ka – Thank you
There are sprayers (like on kitchen sinks) in the bathrooms. After using the squat toilets, you are supposed to wash off with these rather than use toilet paper. If you do use TP though, it goes in the trash can, not the toilets.
Fresh fruit here is magnificent.
Thai people are very, very considerate and relaxed people. Not a lot of things seem to make them upset. Our guide says many times in one day, “No worries, be happy.”
Everything tastes amazing. Everything. And there are a huge variety of flavors amongst every meal.
