Chiang Mai Locals

Well you know you're practically local when you have a gym, your favourite coffee shop and a good Thai accent. For people who know 15-20 words of Thai, that's not bad.

Mostly I've learned to ask for ice...yeah a wheel barrow of ice. I want to rub ice all over myself 90% of the day, the rest of the time I will allow the scorching hot air to access my skin. Come to Chiang Mai, it's a giant, smoky crematorium.

But it ain't all bad. It's actually a lot nicer than we remembered it, except for the dry weather. The people are very friendly and we've expanded our circle of trust. Note: The circle of trust is the designated area Dave and I can walk or drive around without any fear.

We are currently waiting for our Indian visas to come through...may not happen until next wednesday. So we'll have to make another trip up to the bamboo house near Mae Taeng.
Starting to look for jobs in Australia.

update! update! What are you up to?? Or have you just become such locals you don't even think you have anything to write about?
Hope you are well and having a good time...
