Things I love about Thailand

1. the spicy food
2. how cheap everything is
3. buying contacts or prescription drugs over the counter
4. paying 120 baht or 3 dollars to see a movie
5. national pride every morning/evening and even before a movie
6. Wai Krue- a day to pay respect to teachers
7. organized chaos
8. paying 300 baht or about 7 dollars for a 2 hour massage
9. the people
10. the juxtaposition of old siam with new bangkok
11. knowing enough thai to get around and know when people are talking about me
12. taking 3 modes of transportation to get to one place: walking, skytrain, boat
13. tuk-tuks
14. crazy taxi drivers who fall in love with the C.T.
15. seeing my thai friend walk into one random restaurant in one of the biggest cities in the world reminding you that it is, indeed, a small world
