Trip Home

Took had to take the bus down to Chantaburi today to renew her ID card.

It's always an expensive proposition, Thai girls going home. It always involves a trip with the family to the local shopping mart to buy 50 pounds of laundry detergent, a cubic yard of tissue paper, a 20-kilo sack of rice... and much, much more. (The 3 items above cost, oh, about 3 dollars, so...)

Fortunately, I didn't go. I refuse to go visit parents anymore. I refuse to have them come visit me. I've decided that I have to know a girl for a lot longer than a few months before I meet her parents. (Fortunately, Took wholeheartedly agrees with this policy.)
