it’s pretty fascinating to watch people in other countries go on with their daily lives. to me, it’s just pure and simple. no BMW’s, no gameboy’s, and no designer clothes. just the necessities they need in life. and yet, they seem much happier than the some people in the world that have everything. it really makes me realize that i don’t need a nice house, or a nice car to be happy. i should be happy that i even have a roof over my head and a car to get me around. these kind of experiences wake me up. that’s what i love about traveling. makes you appreciate every little thing you have… even if it’s little…
the food here is pretty fascinating. cheap and good. why go to an expensive yakitori restaurant when you can just sit on the side of the road and order anything you want. and you don’t need a photo menu or have to speak thai to order. just point. gosh, i must have eaten 15 sticks…. so good…
they say not to eat food from the street vendors because it’s not safe. well, that’s all i’ve been eating. how the heck can you pass up a thai noodle soup like this for a dollar? i went to a restaurant the first night here and ordered some food. lamb curry and a salad cost me $12. i could have eaten the same thing on the street for $3. never go to a restaurant again. you know the saying, WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO. that’s what i told myself i was going to do on this trip. eat local, travel local, and think local… Korb Khun
