Ok, so I don't have a lot of time to post right now. More to come later, just a quick story.
Today, our guides came to pick us up from our apartment building to go to the office. We were all dressed in professional atire, as requested...and were expecting the same van we'd used to come home from the airport. Then a fleet of six motorbikes come around the corner...you know what comes next.
I crammed my American size ass on the back of a tiny little bike, held on to my briefcase with my left hand and death gripped the driver's shoulder with my right as we flew down the road at close to 45 mph...did I have a helmet? no.
Here's to already pushing Mai Pen Rai to the limit.
Hopefully I have pictures with the next post!
Who's the "Semi High Strung American"??
- Wesley
- Bangkok, Thailand
- Recently graduated with my BA in Political Science, and am now in search of the rest of my life in a country I've never been to, that I know little about, without the ability to speak the native language...and I could not be more excited about it.

I love how I can just picture you laughing hysterically as you hopped onto that motorbike, swooped your hair off your forehead, and held on like hell to that briefcase!
Can I incorporate Mai Pen Rai into my everyday life?
I personally enjoy the image of what your hair looked like after you got off the damn motorbike. At least you didn't have helmet hair!
Like on America's Next Top Model (the season with Shandy)? LOL, I love it.
This made me LOL! Also made me miss you. And I'm with Eleta... I want to incorporate Mai Pen Rai into my everyday life too!
Seriously, this should be a book when you get back.....this is just too funny. I miss you and love you
