"妳靠著我的肩膀
妳在我胸口睡著"
We got to Nim's home town of Nan at around 7:30 in the morning. So, as you can tell, this vacation was going to be jam-packed with goodies from the get-go. Mama Nim picked us up in her decked out Isuzu SUV. This jount was a monster, and would be our transportation for the day. She dropped us off at our hotel, where I took a shower and crashed out on the bed for an hour or so. Kim and Sonya were right next door. Just when I was about to dream, Nim comes back from showering and resting up at her house and pounces on me to get up. Needless to say, I was up.
"說不上為什麼
我變得很主動"
We drove to Nim's old workplace, where she caught up with her former coworkers, and we had some coffee. Then, we picked up Mama Nim, and drove to the park, which was over an hour away, and had some sticky rice w/ chicken. All that was missing were some watermelon and grits, I would've felt right at home. What was next? We went white water rafting. That was exciting. No huge jounts, but enough to get wet, and I definitely tanned up a bit as well. After that, we went back to the hotel to sleep. Man, I was tired. I couldn't fall asleep though. I ended up laying in bed for a bit, listening to Jay, where I eventually got up and went to walk around to the Mom & Pops store. I got back, chilled in the parking lot cause I didn't want to wake Nim. I did something that I hadn't done in a long, long time - I threw rocks, or... pebbles/stones. It felt nice, I still got it, to some degree.
We had dinner at this great seafood place. We ate so much food, it was unreal. We parked our car at the hotel, and then walked to this outdoor bar that we saw after breakfast, earlier in the day. As we walk in, I came to a realization that it was a complete sausage-fest. It made me a bit uncomfortable, as I was walking into this place with three beautiful women. We all got the stares... I'm sure many of those guys were thinking, "Who is that guy, and how did he manage that?"
We had a couple of beers, and then decided to dip. We headed to 7-11, and bought more booze to bring back to the hotel. After we got back, we sat outside and pounded those toughguys, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company. It was getting late, so we headed back up to the rooms. We'll have to take an intermission here and stop at this:
"牽著妳的手
一陣莫名感動"
We wake up pretty early the next morning, and had breakfast before heading on another bus from Nan to Chiang Mai. This bus ride turned out to be 6+ hours away. Whew, my entire right side went numb again - NIM! I should've learned my lesson from the previous overnight ride, maybe we should've sat on the left side of the bus. After getting to Chiang Mai, we went straight for food at the Riverside restaurant. After that, we walked around for a bit, where we perused Northern goods, and eventually settled at this Italian restaurant for Gelati. After the dessert, we headed to the airport, hopped on the plane and got back to Bangkok, or... my room at 1ish.
Okay, it was an excellent trip. And here is even more excellent news. Nim has taken charge in setting up a charity concert, where the proceeds are going to renovate/refurbish one of the countryside elementary schools. If any of you are willing to come in with me on contributions, holla at yo boy. Giving back to kids is always a good thing! Kisses, I'll update you guys every step of the way, for these remaining 30 days.
