Fell asleep in San Fran and woke up in Chiang Mai. SOS

I can’t say this isn’t what I was expecting, only because I really had no idea what to expect. My loving mother attempted to make me research all of the places that I would be visiting before venturing forth, but that’s no fun, right? The food here is incredible, but now matter how hard I try to order spicy food I feel like they’re giving me a watered down American meal. I’m certain eventually they’ll give me a truly Thai hot meal, of which I anticipate with great fear, and respect. The weak use of phonetic Thai accompanied by the entire lack of understanding of a tonal language has made all forms of communication… interesting… And to settle all debate, yes, everyone here is great at math, and the most common form of transportation is in fact elephant.
PEACE
