Things I've learned about Thailand...

Its humid 100% of the time...

Don't be surprised to find out that the woman you thought you were talking to, actually used to be a man...

Don't ask how much unless you plan to buy it...

Personal space? There is none, you will get pushed and crowded upon on public transportation...

The tone that you speak can mean something entirely different to someone else...

On most mornings you will wake up sweating...

So get used to cold showers... They feel great!

Just going simply to a convenient store may take you an hour or two just to travel back and forth...

Your fan becomes your best friend...

Kareoke is a must!

The currency exchange changes everyday...

The white and yellow lines on the road are just merely guidelines for Thai drivers... People take up two lanes, drive the opposite ways, and sqeeze their big trucks and motorcycles into tiny spaces...

People will cut you off...No matter how close you are or how fast you are going...

Thai people are very helpful...

Toilet paper is optional for toilets (aka bathrooms) but you won't find a restaurant without toilet paper served on your table as napkins...

Glass bottled drinks are just washed and reused...

The fruit is amazing, and eating hot fresh corn in the morning is delectible...

Vendors will rip you off, but there is Always room for bargaining...

Everyday is a new possiblity and learning new routes and foods is the best part of living in a defferent country.

Step I'm laying in your bed again this morning. We are up for uncle Bobs funeral.

Have you seem any of the protests going on there in the city? The Internet says there is tear gas etc. Hope all is well with you and your school.
