Christmas

Hard to beileve that Christmas is right around the corner, not because its been another year already, but because there is just is no sense of the Holiday here. (It's all about Buhhda in Thailand and its warm). Very few decorations, except some in the Western stlye malls. We haven't been exposed to the endless Christmas music. No loss there! It's kinda been nice in fact; a lot less pressure. We do miss our Friends and Family. Happy Holidays to you all.

The mopeds have turned out to be a great choice. We've been able to explore and get around much better then taking taxis everywhere. (The problem with taxis is that you need to know where you're going, which ofcourse, we rarely do). As I mentioned in an earlierpost, it seems as if it would be impossible to get a moving violation (ticket) in this country. Unfortunately, that's not the case with parking. We managed to have out bikes "booted" by the police for illegal parking. 800 Baht and a ride to Police Headquaters later we managed to free them. In light of the traffic situation here we thought it was pretty amusing.

Merry Christmas!
