Last night Matt, Evan and I
got back from our
aprox. 20 hours motorcycle trip.
Well, all I got to say is
my BUTT HURT
...and it still hurts.
...and what I will advice you is
bring a butt pillow
when you go on a motorcycle trip,
also a pair of sunglasses,
and a scarf to wrap around your
nose and mouth.
It was ridiculously long
and painful
but once it's over,
it's just another good memory.
The purpose of the trip was
to go to the boarder
of Burma and Thailand
so Matt could extend his stay here
in Thailand.
We saw cool stuff on the road
and
we met good people.
Oh and we almost got hit by a
flying/falling squierrel
which wouldn't have been
funny if it had died.
But Matt saw it running off
once it hit the ground,
so yes,
it was funny.
Of course I knew somewhere
in my mind
that in country side,
people live a simple life.
Though understanding only in your mind
and
actually seeing
is very different.
It made me wonder,
what people talk about
when they see the same people
every day,
and when they do almost
the same things everyday.
Seeing different ways of life,
it really makes me wonder
what happiness is.
The beautiful village we saw
near the border.
It said it's a Burmese people's
temporary shelter.
It almost looked like
a village of elves or something.
I don't know how the people there
feel about their lifestyles,
but the way the houses blended
in with the mountains and sky
was absolutely gorgeous....
I hope they get to go back to their
own country though.
I was expecting to take
many more photos
but unfortunately
the roads were really not
photogenic (in my sense).
It seemed like people burn the mountain
to get rid of unwanted weeds
so the mountain looked
sad and depressing.
At least the places we stopped
at were peaceful and nice.
Well, time for me to work more!
Ciao.
