Traffic...

Yesterday was our second Thai lesson with Pii Wan. We started out the day at the Bamboo House restaurant for breakfast, and then headed over to Ekkamai. We had lessons from 2-4, then chatted with Alan for about an hour. It had started to get really really dark about four pm, and we didn’t really think about it until we went outside, to head home. A huge rainstorm started as soon as we got on the bridge to cross over to the bus stop. Within about two minutes, it looked like Kaitlyn and I had taken a shower in our clothes. Our clothes were drenched, our hair was wet all the way through and dripping, and our makeup was smeared all under our eyes. We were soaked. It was about 5 pm, which means crazy traffic in Thailand, and we waited about 25 minutes for the bus to come. It was packed. In the end, we were on the bus for about 2 hours and 20 minutes. The first hour and a half we were standing, holding onto the bars, and then we got seats for the last little bit. At 2 hours and 20 minutes, we hadn’t moved very far, so we decided to get out and walk to the mall, which was probably about a mile-ish. It was a crazy crazy night. Regardless, we go to the mall, and got pizza and salad and pepsi, and it was a good night. But I’m not a fan of traffic.
