You don't need a hairdryer because you have a motorcycle. You eat vinegar, chili powder and soy sauce with breakfast. You drink out of water bottles with straws. Lane lines don't count. Three adults and a toddler on a motorcycle is no problem. You have some sort of fancy cover on your tissue box and you have a tissue box in the car. There's someone riding in the bed of your truck. Finding the words "not" and "spicy" together is a fairly rare occurrence. No one likes to be tan. People use umbrellas... rain or shine. There's a monkey following you. You try to tell someone they're beautiful but use the wrong tone and call them unlucky instead. You speak in third person. Twenty five degrees celsius is cold. Yes or no questions aren't answered with "yes" or "no" [ex: "Are you hungry?" you don't say "yes/no" you say "hungry/not hungry"]. If it's raining, it's pouring. The three closest towns to you all end in "-buri". Gas is about $1 a gallon. You really, really love the king. Every morning, every student (uniform clad of course) praises Bhudda and sings the national anthem. Sunscreen is part of your daily routine. On the street you can buy anything you'd ever like to eat or drink. Fruit is always fresh. The fan is your favorite invention [beyond air conditioning of course]. There's a good luck message from a monk drawn on the ceiling of your car.
Just... A few things I've noticed. I'll continue updating the YKYT list every once in a while. Had a fantastic time in Pattaya with my second host family, but more about that later! Exhausted and off to bed, school tomorrow!
Hope you are well,
Kearn
