Slow site seeing

---

I have been holding up in Chiang Mai since last I wrote. I fly back to Vietnam tomorrow. I just wanted to post a few pictures and let you see what I have been up to.

There are a lot of Vespas here, I think some are made here. I Met an english teacher girl from New York, she said there is no V in Thai so they all call them Wespa's and think that is how the rest of the world says it too. Kind of cute.

The best pictures are the ones that you have to let get away. I was using a payphone today and an grandmotherly type lady, quite short, could barly walk, pulls up on her motorbike, pulls off her half helmet to display her curtly gray hair and walks into a store. I wish I had a picture of that moment. But it would have been rude. Garret

hundreds of tins
Here is a small part of a shop that had tin after tin of cookies, crackers and the like. Very odd, I never saw anyone in there.

Biskut!
ZOMG those biscuit tins are EXACTLY the ones we used to have in shops when I was growing up! Don't hardly see them any more, except maybe in smaller towns. It's a simple concept - like the bulk foods section at your local grocery store. You bagged as much as you wanted.
