No Rain No Pain

Neglecting my updating, but look, I don't want to pay $4 for an hour of Internet. Here's the scoop:
Chiang Mai trek was pretty cool, although it involved a lot of uphill sweating, but it was pretty good fun. Watching the election results brought me to tears and cheers. I'm so happy that I was a part of that moment in history, and I love watching election results in bars, I love the comradery. Maybe it would be different in the state, but it was pretty great in Thailand! The Indian friends that we met drove us around on their motorbikes (whee! so fun), fed us amazing Indian food and were terrible flirts. Then they took us out to a night club and got a little too friendly with me. Then they called my cell phone a few times at 3am to profess their love to me. It kinda got out of hand, I felt a little bad, BUT they were really fun, and I'm glad that we got to hang out with them, they certainly made Chiang Mai memorable. As Jenn likes to point out, she's never seen a person get hit on simultaneously by 3 Indians. Imagine my surprise when that person turned out to be me. That never happens, it was a strange fluke, probably something in the water. Or the curry.
Quick stopover in Bangkok was a day in a tuk tuk, seeing some wats and big big Buddha, thanks to a friendly english student who got us the cheapest sightseeing arrangement ever. 20 baht for 2.5 hours... yeah, sounds great.
Ko Phag-nan was also memorable: it rained. Not just rained, monsooned. Despite meeting fantastic people (the night train Germans, Kristian and Hayden, who drank whiskey with me till 3am and helped me instigate not one but two drunk night time pool parties, and Canadian Drew Barth! his name is Tyson though.) we just had to ditch out. It was eating our souls and crushing our gentle spirits and just plain making us cranky. In the sun, it would have been amazing.
We reached Krabi today, and I am ready to put to bed a grumpy, very wet, insulting day (some asshole, completely unprovoked, called me "homely" but whatever he was a old fat drunk and I know a whole gang of indians who say different), and hopefully wake up tomorrow feeling sunny and happy. At the very least, there is NO WAY POSSIBLE for it to rain as much as it has been. We send the universe peace and love, it just better start paying us back.
