After my exhausting hot shopping experience at the weekend market, I decided to take a tuk tuk from the metro station to the hostel instead of walking an extra 10 minutes. After a horrible night's sleep on the train from Chiang Mai, walking around outside in a crowded market looking at things I can't afford right now just was not my idea of fun. After being around people constantly for 3 weeks, suddenly knowing nobody in a city as huge as Bangkok can be a little overwhelming. I was feeling pretty homesick, when the tuk tuk driver asked me where I was from.
"Texas", I proudly but tiredly said.
"Really? I lived in Bastrop, Texas for four years!"
"Uh?" Obviously that threw me through a loop.
"Yeah, I worked at a Thai restaurant. I loved it there."
So I guess it goes to show that there's a little piece of Texas everywhere you go, even in Bangkok.
awww im glad he didnt try to get you to sit right next to him :-)
