Haha, exactly!
3 months agoThat would have made our journey home even more exciting. Speaking of durian, we were at the Grand Opening (okay, the second day but it was still feverish there) of the Hong Phat Supercenter, a giant Asian grocery, and the durian were flying out of their aromatic cardboard boxes.
3 months agoSorry, they're out of Todd the Pig, but I hear good things about Touch the Sea Urchin.
3 months agoGlen Campbell sings in my head every time I see those guys.
3 months agoTodd the Pig sounds worth trying.
3 months agoDoes he work for the county?
3 months agoI bet a few brooms made it into the bike boxes.
3 months agoI have rather negative memories of Burmese food, but the khao soi sounds good.
3 months agoI wonder how many durian you used as filler in those huge boxes?
3 months agoThank you, Victor, for following along and always having nice comments. Say, if you are in Ben Tre, Vietnam anytime will you go get me that stool for me? I can direct you to the place no problem. I'm sure it's still there and I'm sure if you give the man enough money he will gladly sell it. He has two of them so make sure you get the right one! Of course I wouldn't trust the mail anywhere other than Thailand so keep that in mind when you plan your itinerary. I'll pay you back someday. Thanks. I'll be watching for packages.
6 months agoI really understand your sentiments. The older we get, the more Rachael and I look back with wonder. Did we really do that?
6 months agoLove those stats. Should have brought that stool home....
Thanks for the ride, you two. I sincerely hope there are many more to come.
You're right. Thank you for this link. But, it was more about the guy making this stool because he needed one and he just threw together what he had without thinking about it for more than two seconds. He never dreamed it was cute or artistic or had any value other than to sit on. So, it had all of this connected with it and therefore I kind of wanted it. But it would have been a hassle to carry it all the way to Thailand and then it would have cost quite a bit to ship it home from there. I don't trust the mailing of packages in any country other than Thailand. But I'm sure he would have been thrilled to have sold it to me for $3 because he would simply slap another one together in five minutes or less.
7 months agoThe coffee was great here too.

You know, I totally forgot to stuff a few brooms in the boxes. It would have been a perfect way to get a few home.
