Getting in a tuk tuk
Riding on the back of a moto, sideways some days...
Crossing the road inbetween traffic
Bartering
The language
Being stared at
The smells
The dust
The heat
The colours
Beautiful countryside
Being surrounded by rice fields
Naked children everywhere
Men wearing only a kharma
Wooden houses on stilts
People sleeping outside on hammocks
Kareoke on the bus
Skinny cows with camel humps
Water buffalo led by children
Petrol in coke bottles
Mozzie spray instead of perfume
Riding a bike everywhere
Seeing a family of 5 on one moto
8 Hour bus journeys
Geckos and frogs
Small children riding huge bikes
People standing in the river/ponds fishing
Green coconuts
50 cent beer (more than a coke, same as a water)
Dodging potholes in the roads
Dragon fruit, rambatans
Children begging
Mine victims
Buddas
Monks in orange
Torrential rain
Carrying suncream and rain coat
Wearing suncream and sunglasses
Old school TVs
Eating rice and noodles
My old school mobile phone
Cold showers
Muddy roads
Bananna leaf houses
Flies and ants in your dinner
Doorless houses and shops
Smiling at everyone
Having 'hello' shouted at you over 10 times a bike journey
Markets
Pagodas
Food stalls
Women sweeping the roads to collect dust
Little boys collecting plastic bottles for money
Chickens and pigs on motos
Cockerals in the morning
BBQ banannas for breakfast
