no english?

After my episode with the mango shake, my body was pummeled and I just woke up from sleeping for 16 hours straight. The last time I slept for that long was when I had mono in high school. The good news is that I feel back to life now...

One of the most unexpected things on our journey so far has been the lack of people speaking English. I don't necessarily mean the Thais themselves, but more so the white people that we see. We have yet to meet any other Americans. We see quite a few white people but they are speaking other languages! We have met a few Australians but no Americans. It has been quite surprising.

Today we continue on our search for housing and jobs....we have to remind ourselves regularly that it is only day 5.
