Ting Tong

There's a guy who walks the beach all day selling ice cream, and he sings this song- "Velly good for you, velly good for me, velly good for holidaaaayy.." I can't get it out of my head. Everything is "velly good for you.... velly good for me..."

You can eat pretty well here for less than a dollar. As a consequence, i've stepped up to five meals a day. Breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies... But what eats my baht up is the drinking. It's deceiving, because the food's so cheap, and before i know it, i've spent three day's budget in one day. Things can get pretty ting tong (crazy) here at night too, because of all the mow muk mow (drunk) farangs (whities) on holiday. I'm actually ready to be away from it (tomorrow). I've spoken way more German here than Thai, and i know too much about thai whiskey.

Sure the beach sounds nice but look what you're missing. Here's a little taste of home courtesy of your friends at BPN ;)

Snow man, snow. And the news weather teams were in their ultimate "High Alert" mode 24/7. It was awesome...so ridiculous and so awesome. Things like reminders to dress warm and graphics on how to walk on ice were all over the airways. It was hilarious. Half of downtown was shut down. Cars were spinning out left and right. Funny funny stuff. It was beautiful too. The snow stuck on the trees the last 2 days and is just starting to melt off. Love it when it snows here.
