so i dont have that much to report today. yesterday, i slept in fairly late, and then got up to go catch the 4PM bus to chang mai. at 4:30 the bus arrived, i grabbed my backpack, walked up to the bus… and then turned around and decided to stay here in Pai for another day. i was feeling quite lazy and decided to spend a day just hanging out, soaking in the atmosphere and doing *nothing*.<\/p>\n
so that’s what i did. i watched “the big lebowski” in one of the bars in town. i took my scooter on a super long ride along the highway (where i finally got it up to about 90km\/h). switched hotels to a cheaper room (only 100B, WERD!). i ate a few meals… and really that’s about it. it was nice to have a day w\/ no plans.<\/p>\n
one thing that i keep forgetting to mention in the journal…. there’s one thing i absolutely HATE about pai. pai is full of roosters. they’re everywhere. and every morning at 6am, they take it upon themselves to be insanely irritating and loud as hell. ugh. and you assume that they would just crow at sunrise and stop… but no. they crow and crow and crow for hours. at all hours. last night when i was trying to fall asleep at midnight, one was just crowing nonstop for a hella long time. ugh!<\/p>\n
today i woke up and took the bus back to chang mai. chill bus ride. we stopped halfway there to eat and i got this snack thing that i’ve bought once before. it’s a stick of sugar cane that’s been hollowed out, and then they fill it up w\/ sticky rice, condensed milk, sugar, and black beans. it’s hella good. to eat it, you fan out the cane pieces like you would a banana peel and chow down.<\/p>\n
once in chang mai, i got a room, and randomly once again ran into this girls from richmond that i keep running into. it’s cool to run into someone from the bay area back home, especially since there doesnt seem to be many americans here.<\/p>\n
