And we're back!
( Vacation log, conclusion )
sun 4/22:
And, as you can see by the time, our clocks haven't completely switched over yet. It's 6am and I'm awake again. Heh. Well, as long as I can make it to 10pm or so, I think I'll be fully switched back over. I'm still on pain meds, but hopefully this silly back will be better soon.
Closing observations on Thailand:
* Motorinos are three passenger vehicles; at least as long as the passengers are Thai.
* Thai stray dogs are smarter than US dogs. They actually really do look for traffic before crossing the street. I saw them do it several times myself.
* Even I can be considered "exotic" in a country full of black haired, black eyed, dark skinned people.
* Even I can get a tan while wandering Thailand. I have gone from totally reflective white to slightly toasted. Ok, very very slightly, but I do have tan-lines from my flip flops to prove it! At least for a day or two before it fades, anyway. :P
* Edit: Oh, yeah! Very important: If you are a first time traveler to Thailand, be sure to take (or buy there) tissues that you can fit in your pocket. I don't think I visited a single public restroom that actually had toilet paper. Oh. And I took a picture of one of the the public restrooms, too. It was an adventure.
(This is a public restroom. I had to take a picture. You have to squat over the bowl to go. Awkward!)
Hm. And I think that's it for now. If I remember anything else, I'll update again. ^_~ For now, it's 6am and I'm still a little achy, so back to being prone for me, and watching some more TV. Maybe an update on the pain meds since it's been about eight hours.... Whee!
