Heading Home


I just finished a horrifying bus ride. I think that the driver must have been drunk, or at least trying to scare everyone to death. He was weaving all over the road, going super fast, and then slowing down to a snails pace. Ahhh….life in Thailand is never dull. The good news is that I…read more.
