Things we've seen, experienced and learned in SE Asia:
-Order the beer, it's cheaper than water
-The best tasting food is usually the weirdest looking at the dumpiest vendor for the cheapest price.
-Bartering is a necessary skill
- massages aren't always what they seem... but for $5 how can you go wrong?
-A smile goes a long way. People are softer than they let on.
-A VIP bus does not mean first class. You never know what you're going to get.
- with a little imagination, anything and everything can be carried on a scooter
- monks may live a simple life but they can still rock out to Justin Beaber
- hippies love dread locks and in SE Asia they grow to the floor (we have photographic proof)
- $5 can purchase almost anything
I would definately like to hear more about these $5 massages that Quentin seemed to enjoy...
ReplyDeleteAnd if the beer is cheaper, did Rye end up warming up to the frothy goodness?!?
i look forward to the stories behind each of these seen, learned, experienced...except the massage one. sara, i think we can leave that one a mystery. ha!
ReplyDeletei'm sure you two smiled (and scootered) your way through a few SE Asian gems. those countries are going to miss the like of you!
