gung hay full bellies

kyle and i knew something was up when, before making it 500 yards from wat's hill, we were ushered into the home of perfect strangers who spoke no english and were fed chicken, sticky rice treats, and beer. at 8:30 in the morning.

happy chinese new year! it's 2552!

everybody is in a good mood today. everyone driving by waves, and at every house we pass, someone tries to feed us boiled chicken and get us drunk.

to kyle's parents - the noise you heard while skyping with your son was not the thai mafia gunning us down - firecrackers have been exploding randomly since about 6am.

what a fantastic holiday.

  1. It was great talking to you. The background noises of the automatic rifle fire (asian new year)was a little different. It is mind boggling the technology of today to allow that long of a phone connection for that little of a price!What an adventure. Can't wait to hear the continuing saga.
