Random Thailand Photo for you guys...

[penda]

This was while I was riding a stoned and angry (see also, hungry) elephant along a very narrow trail while trying to motivate it by encouraging it to move in about 7 different languages.

It eventually got annoyed with me after I'd cycled through Karen, Thai, French, German, Japanese, Russian, English, and English Vernacular. It decided to uproot a tree with its trunk and threaten me with it, and also lean over the edge to try to tip me, Jovon, and one of the germans off. I don't know if you can see it in the photo, but the cliff on the right is STEEP! It would have been unpleasant to fall down that. We all screamed and held on. I also laughed. I did that a lot in Thailand, snicker after nearly dying.

We behaved after that and let it satisfy it's munchies.

Anyway, this photo was taken soon after that event. Note the "Oh god, I think it might try to kill us again... HILARIOUS!" look in my eye.

Also, looking at this photo it isn't hard to see why the Germans thought I was Mexican, is it? Of course, I'm not a Mexican. It's possible that I could be a a MexiCANT, though. ;)

are you still over there? or have you come back? or are you somewhere else?

what lesson did you learn that day?

Ok, I'm home. These are photos from the trip, I've just been going through them and feeling like telling little stories about the trip. First time since I came back that I feel that way.

That day I learned that when you're a little pink thing sitting on a very large grey thing, it's not a good idea to say "Move it, ya lazy bastard!" Heh.

Um...how do you get an elephant stoned? How pot can that thing smoke?

[inevitability.livejournal.com]

I dunno, but he was definitely stoned.

LMFAO! *giggle* Neat!

Maybe you were missing the hint and needed to shout out, "Vamanos!"

[inevitability.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I forgot... we also used Spanish. Vamanos AND Andale.

So, adventures in SE Asia huh?

Yeah, I'm just cramming for the Bar Exam at the end of July. And then, finally, I'll be finished with my schooling. Hehe.
