Okay so it is 1pm in the afternoon and here are some funny little things that i have noticed:...
Taxi's are HOT PINK, not just pink, but full on Hot pink, and they drive like crazies. Not to mention the rest of the cars are like ours for the most part, and lots of bikes and moter bikes. John was telling me that cars are also tripple the price here due to taxes... just thinking about it and that means that here you could get a little tiney car for lets say the price of a jag back home! Crazy!
Houses are anywhere from little tin boxes, to very nice ones like where i am
My tummy is unsettled and i could not eat my yummy looking breakfast, but the fresh squeezed OJ was AMAZING!
There are also gods everywhere! Did i mention that there are 10 at John's house alone? Yeah, it helps me with missing Riggs; that would be my dog
I also take COLD showers because it is so hot here....
There are internet cafe's everywhere
Oh and the traffi circles are about 4 times the size of ones back home... SCARY, i would never drive here!
Bhaha oh and now i am loving it! I was a little unsure at first but now that we have gotten out it is good.
Oh and did i mention that i was woken up by a table saw this morning? There is a house being built nextdoor and it is SOOO loud!
Lots of love

gotta try the tuktuks
The traffic is crazy there. You've gotta try a wild tuktuk ride. They are a real adventure. Just think..traffic on Deerfoot Trail in rush hour will be so mundane when you get home! Have you learned to surf the traffic yet? That's a skill when crossing the street that you can only learn in Asia. Be brave, step out , and slowly walk across as wild traffic swerves around you! Keep the blogs coming. Love hearing from you.
