On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

What I Like About Summer

Well it's summer. My favorite season. I love hot weather, the smell of sunblock, and wearing flip-flops all the time. My feet are no longer bound by socks and close toed shoes (except at work), they feel so trapped, and it's such a pain to put on socks, tie shoes, or buckle straps. It saves so much prep time.

Another thing I love about summer are the movies. Out are the depressing epically long films, and in are the funny ADD friendly films that are mind numbing, perfect for forgetting all the calculus and Shakespeare that we really don't need to know--unless you're an engineer or college professor.

But most of all barbecues. Being outside. OFF. and Lots of free time.
