Zippin around Hat Yai

I'm spending the night in Hat Yai, a city not far from the Malaysian border. Tomorrow I cross over and head to Georgetown in Penang Province. I'm excited to see a new country and new people, ya know how it is. Just a change.

When I got to the bus station, there were hoards of tuk-tuks around and even more motorbike taxis. Usually, when I get into a new town I head straight for the nearest shared tuk-tuk but there were none today. I decided to try a motorbike taxi, with all my crap. The guy held my pack between his legs while I hopped on the back side-saddle (I'm wearing a skirt) and held on for dear life.

After a few hairy turns (and me feeling like I was going to slip off) we arrived at my guesthouse. Now I feel like I have truly experienced transportation the Thai way. Wait, no. There needed to be a third person on the bike or a little kid in the basket. Either way, it was fun and I may use the motorbike taxis more often.

Hi Claudia-
Miss you much at Williams Sonoma. It's all that bitch Mary's fault! We've had some really cute guys working there recently- Brendan sure knows how to hire 'em. Hope you are having a great time and look forward to seeing you in June.
