I can hear my dad sing that same song every time we pull out of the driveway: "....on the road again...", and that's exactly what I was thinking when I took off for Pai this past weekend. I left Friday afternoon with two friends; 128 kilometers/80 miles and probably about 431 twists and turns, we finally arrived in the small, somewhat hippie town called Pai.

Anyone who knows me, knows that if there are certain dishes on a menu, then that's what I'll order. One of these dishes is Falafel - I need to try it wherever I am!

Lieve Nikki,
Wat leuk weer wat van je te horen, en fijn dat we even mogen 'meereizen'. Geniet van al je ervaringen, want voor je het weet zit je weer aan de studie... We zien elkaar sowieso in augustus geloof ik, en hopelijk ook wat vaker gedurende je Amsterdamtijd! Heel veel liefs en groetjes van ons allemaal.

Your Big heart
Hi Nikki, I love the story about the kid and the mom. My favorite stories were also when I was able to connect to the locals after I spending a lot of time trying to break through the barrier where they are just trying to take your money. I remember making it a point to reject buying things from parents who throw their kids in your face (there was this one kid in Thailand who would run around holding my hands and fake-crying while his parents watched behind us). But afterwards I would feel bad, and find another local, one that wasn't trying to sell me anything, and make a donation or buy something. And on those special occasions, they'd invite me to their house and I could be their guests and it was really really a great experience! You think 4$ is cheap for a room, you should try being hosted, for free and you get food and to hang out with the family hehe. Of course in the end, I was so appreciative, I'd make a donation larger than 4$ so nevermind. -Aaron
