This is what ________ sounds like

In Thailand stray dogs wear t-shirts. No, really. Sometimes its basketball jerseys, but for the most part they wear t-shirts. I'm not sure why, but hopefully I'll know before I leave this country.

I'm sick. It started with my cousin Noah, and then worked its way to me. I think his immune system handled it better than mine. It has made traveling over the last couple of days difficult. Sara, Noah, and myself went to one of the largest islands off the coast of Thailand. It was nice, but a little crowded. There is much more of a tourist industry in this country than anywhere else I've been on this trip.

Thailand has been a pleasant shock in a number of different ways. American movies, toilet paper, price tags, western brand names, drinkable water, soft beds, real pillows, the customer is always right, fast reliable internet, easy access to medicine, excellent hospitals, sane drivers, etc. are all in abundance here. I think ending my trip here will help soften the blow of culture shock when I get home.

I'm not quite up to writting anymore, but as soon as I'm feeling better I'll give some more in depth accounts of recent events.

Happy New Years.
