Up North

I just spent the last day and a half getting up to northern rural thailand. On the train they were blasting the AC and it was cold, so the girl next to me shared her Mickey Mouse towel with me as a blanket. We must have looked really silly, huddled sleeping there under a Mickey Mouse towel. But she was very sweet, as are most all of the Thai people i've met.

I've also noticed that Thai people usually smell really good. This girl smelled fantastic. Like tropical potpourri...

Now i'm in the ancient capitol of Siam, Sukhothai. And just typing that makes me excited.
