So... my last couple of posts have had a certain quality to them. Some might call it a negative quality, to others a frustrated quality, and to some perhaps a quality of absolute hate. But, that's completely unfair.
I took a taxi yesterday... even though I vowed that I wouldn't do so. And the taxi driver took me exactly where I wanted to go. We had a lovely conversations in Thai. He dropped me off exactly where I wanted to be dropped off and even offered to wait for me. I declined, but it's the thought that counts.
I also have become addicted to fruit and fruit juice. The fruit is amazing. Dragon Fruit...fresh pineapple, mango, mangosteen, rambutan, chom poo, the list goes on and on. And in my quest to find my favourite juice I have discovered guava juice, white grape juice with aloe vera, pomegranate juice... that list goes on too.
Going to the hairdresser's here is incredible. They wash and blowdry your hair for you, for maybe $5 or less - depending on the place.. and you have two people, each with a blowdryer, working on your hair.
And you meet amazing people. My Thai teacher runs an amazing overseas volunteer program to help orphanages, or to run schools in places that were devastated by the tsunami.
They love me at Starbucks... two Starbucks stores in fact and they know my drink. I woke up at 4:30am today... don't know why, but I made a trip to Starbucks to get started. My barista's name was Cartoon. How can a day go wrong when the first person you talk to is called Cartoon?
