Facebook is awesome !!!!

 
   Well, I am not going to make this blog become a monthly updated blog but actually it has been more than one month since my last update; uhggg, bad owner huh? Honestly, Facebook has been attracting my time these days and that made me almost completely forget... Space; I am sorry, but just trying to be as honest as possible. So anyways, these are what have been happening in my life...
   I had a freezing Tet (again, Tet is lunar New year) this year. I had never been like that before, so I did not hang out much. Until the 6th of Tet, I took a train and head up to Hanoi. It was so nice with sunny and warmer weather up there. 3 days in Hanoi were just in the circle of shopping and eating and sleeping and I walked a very long day everyday then; it is kind of killing time but also enjoying the fresh air (just the way I say; not really fresh).
   Back home just for 2 days then I did an awesome trip with 3 other friends.We... went... to... Thailand (I did look for you Saksinee Wink). Our first stop there is Mukdahan and we kind of very impressed how quiet that city is. We thought it was on a holiday or something so no one get out of their houses; but no, it was just a normal day. We were dropped at the bus station at night and fumbling the way how to get downtown. We found a Shell gas station just few steps away from the bus station. We got there and hopefully could figure out some useful information or the direction. Shoo, no one there speaks English. We tried to use body language and the map on our hand, but... When we were leaving the gas station, there was a guy drving his small truck there to get some gas. Thank God he knows some English. We asked and he said "I'm going on the same way to get downtown too so I could give you a free ride". We were so glad with that, jumping on the back of his truck and enjoy the place.

   The next day, we arrived in Khonkaen. There is a friend of my friend, I mean my friend's friend, not my friend but we made friend and she is now my friend; so that is a friend anyways (Confused what the hell am I talking?). Whatever, but we got a great chance to stay with her at her house there. She is very nice, as Paul said "better than good". She took us around Khonkaen and showed us the direction to hang out when she is busy with classes. I have got a chance to try lots of amazing Thai food. they have the best curries ever, but really hot and spicy. Just imagine how you are while eating those curries, your nose is running, snuffling sound and saying "yummy yummy" continuously; ohh, I can't wait to have those super good food again.
   There also are bunch of other good food there. In the following picture is a food that I don't even remember its name but it includes sticky rice with mango and coconut juice I think. I have tried a piece of that and it tastes amazing.

   I could not show you the others cause I did not take any picture of them; my fault. But we tried Japanese food at a very nice restaurant intown. Thanks Lauren for that awesome meal.
   Thailand has a weird 3 wheels vehicle. If people use it for a taxi, it is called a tuk-tuk, but if it is a public vehicle, it would be called a songteuw. Here, we are riding on a tuk-tuk and one more thing is that people drive on the left in Thailand so that is why the next picture was taken when Paul and I were stopping for the red light and we both confused that little kid was driving a truck.

   In this picture is I and Paul proudly riding on a motorbike without helmet to the bank for some money exchange. Driving on the left is kind of strange to me. We were stopped twice by Thai cops within couple minutes because of no helmet but when they figured out we are farang (that is how Thai people call foreigners), the conversation was switched over... cops: "where are you from? where are you going? have you known where the bank is? I recommend the Bangkok bank, fast and easy and no need passport". Eye-rolling

   Thailand is a pagoda country, pagoda is everywhere. I visited an amazing pagoda and could not say anything except "awesome". Let show you some pictures I have...
