I decided to think of some interesting cultural and random facts to blog about...
-even though it's like 100 degrees outside everyday, Thais STILL wear jackets...we still can't figure that one out.
-Around the town, poodles seem to be a popular pet...they're everywhere! who woulda thought??
-everybody you meet has a nickname (they're regular names are usually pretty long)...don't be surprised if they ask you what you're nickname is (mine's shompoo, which is a fruit that's called a rose apple, or it can mean pink). So far I've met several people with names like Pang, Ping, Lek, Noi, Aoy, Nan, Jeop, Fon, Tick (Tock), Yod, and the list goes on and on...it's fun to try to remember all them!!
-We went to dinner at a Korean BBQ place 2 nights ago...it's an upside down bowl lookin thing on your table, and you grill the meat ontop, and boil the vegetables & noodles in the water surrounding the mini mountain grill. Kinda hard to explain, but SO good! We got to try boiled squid :) didn't taste like much, but it was still pretty good if you could get past the bouncy texture.
And while we were eating, a couple of guys walked by with a baby elephant, so we got to feed it for 10 baht :)
-The past couple of days since the Paynes have been gone we've gotten to take care of their black & white guinea pig named Oreo :) he's lots of fun to play with, but it's not very fun when he pees on you...trust me.
Hope you enjoyed learning more about Thailand!

are poodles popular at the korean bbq place? love, dad
one other thing...did you pay to feed the elephant or did the elephant dude pay you? Do guys walk around charging people to feed their elephants? Can you pay to feed a poodle? love, dad
haha, i don't recall seeing poodles at the BBQ place, but wouldn't be surprised if there was one :) and yes, people walk around chraging to feed the elephant, although i think it should be the other way around ;)
