copy of email sent during trip to Thailand, December 2003 – January 2004
ok, one more – I forgot to tell you two cool things. One – our tuk tuk broke down in bangkok and as we were sitting on the side of the road, a man came up & started talking to us. he is a doctor in bangkok & asked where we were from. when you say Canada here, they all go “Ottawa?” or “Wancouver?”. So we said “Wancouver” and it turns out he has a good friend who moved to Vancouver & owns a restaurant, so we can’t wait to check it out. It was REALLY weird to hear this Thai guy say “you know Lobson & Georgia?”
the other cool thing is I ate bugs last night – yummy. Grub/maggot things, cockroachs, crickets. Mmmmmmmm. Taste like deep fried chicken skin. Went to the weekend market today. what a zoo. bought lots of cool stuff though. OK, that was the last email for real. See you soon.
ps for nicole: we turned a corner at the VERY crowded & huge weekend market and I stared at this woman staring back at me for a second, then we both screamed “AAAHHHHHHHH!” It was Anne & Roger! They just got in. Vanna & Joachim were around but we didn’t see them. if they’re not too tired they are gong to meet us at the VW bar tonight. Roger is so cute, he said “seeing you guys just made my day”
