Randomness

In recent news, I had a new unexpected Thailand discovery whilst driving back home from meeting last Thursday night. As we are about to turn the corner Leah spots a black creature on the road. Upon getting closer we come to the horrible realization it is in fact, a scorpion. I knew about the snakes. I knew about the ridiculously huge tarantulas. I did not however expect the scorpions. And so I'll be on the next plane for Oregon.
Just kidding. I'm practically MacGyver for goodness sakes. ;P
I have a new favorite eat spot, it's kind of like a bunch of food carts that came together in one building with a huge cafeteria. I dig it. I seem to be the only farang (foreigner) here. I don't mind though, it's nice not to see a bunch of white people every day ;) I went up to what I believe will now be my usual booth and said hi to the woman working there, Sun. She remembered me and what I ordered the last time, this chick is good! She said in broken English 'ohh I like you, you me buddy' and then I replied in broken Thai 'yes, friend'. Good moments :) She has now made me my favorite Thailand dish so far and a local Thai sister told me she'll teach me how to make it. Score!
I think I've made friends with a neighbor kid. I started 'racing' him when he was on his bike the other day and ever since then he's been totally interested in what I'm doing. He started copying what I would say to my mom when I was on the phone 'love you mom' 'that's so funny' it was hilarious! I asked if I could get a picture and he started dancing. Such a ham :)
Only one more month left here :( it's bittersweet since on one hand I really miss everyone and, let's be honest, my car and my daily Ground coffee fix (first world problems haha) But on the other hand I really have loved this experience. Seeing a completely different culture and basically a different world than back home has been really awesome. Hopefully I'll come back with a better perspective on what's really important. Simple living is the way to go :)
Started the March invitations today so it'll be a busy month :)
This post will have random pics, enjoy ;)
