surviving in thailand

nice to see more people blogging.
congrats on nearing term Marina! Who is the lucky PL-2 to be at your delivery? LOL

Would I be fooling myself to think my fellowship will be as chill as Leslie's and Brian's?

While Tisha is in the hospital for the mornings, I try to read but only about page 200 in "Laughing your way..."

more thoughts from Bangkok:
- did not remember my 1st traditional Thai massage in 2002 to be painful. This trip, I had one for 2 hours long. They start at the feet and legs. In the first hour, I swear my legs were gonna develop compartment syndrome. I wanted to curse at the masseuse but she didn't speak English. Instead I would just yelp in pain followed by laughing (at the ridiculousness of the situation). I swear my CK was elevated and worried about not being able to or having blood in my pee.
- hands down, the street vendors are the best places to eat. I have yet to be disappointed with one or develop diarrhea.
- Tuk-Tuk are not worth it. Tisha and I almost died trying to save some money. The driver was speeding, running redlights, cutting across lanes, going down closed streets. Spend you baht on an air-conditioned taxi.
