Just for Fun

Hi Everyone! As I find myself blessed with some internet time, I thought I'd give you a brief accounting of the Lie Ka Tone festival. I'm sure I have ampaly slaughtered the name, but to my American ears, that's what the festival's name sounded like, so I appologize to any of you who actually know how to say/spell it. So with that disclamer, on with the e-mail!

Hi everyone! As nothing outstanding has happend lately, I thought I'd give you and accounting of my motercycle adventures! I started learning to drive the motercycle (which I have nick named Elsy) a couple days after I got to Thailand. The first lesson was kinda exciting. PiDuang had just given me instructions on how to drive it. Then jokingly cautioned me: "don't run into that car over there!" Well, as I got on and gave it what I thought was a little gas, Elsy went racing across the street headed for that very car! I frinally remembered where the brake was and stopped about 4 inches from the neighbors nice new toyota. So needless to say, Elsy and I didn't get off to the greatest start
