Firsts

This is a list of things that I did for the very first time in Thailand

1. eating rice out of a pineapple
2. NOT appreciating "civilization"
3. going to a teacher seminar
4. enjoying a fruit smoothie without worrying about "trashies"
5. walking with a tiger (I'll elaborate once I get my pics sorted out)
6. feeling I could actually pass out from dehydration
7. being sick of pizza
8. being so hot I forgot what AC felt like
9. Thai massage (I'll elaborate in a sec)
10. eating a pancake with a chocolate target (yum)
11. riding an elephant bare-back
12. having water squirted at me by an elephant (can you say SNOT?)
13. air drying my hair in the back of a pickup truck
14. seeing a stampede of pigs (we're talking HUNDREDS of pigs)
15. being nibbled by fishies (weird, unpleasant)
16. having to guard my belongings against monkey theft
17. sliding down a waterfall
18. worshipping a giant Buddha
19. riding a bamboo raft
20. jumping off of a bamboo raft
21. being unable to find anything English on TV
22. eating an egg wonton
23. having three taxis not only refuse us a ride, but drive off as soon as we opened
our mouths

I think that might be it...for now anyway.
