We're so obviously tourists.
It's embarrassing.
Ok, apart from the obvious pale skin, blonde hair, big chest making me stand out from the crowd my family make it worse.
My stepdad likes to think he's cultured and in with the locals, so he'll take us to these little restaurants where they don't speak any english and everyone there is thai (and gawping at us), making us stand out like sore thumbs. He also likes to go on walks, guidebook in hand, down rainforest paths that go through little villages (where the locals all stop and stare at us when we walk past). Those paths usually lead to a dead end, meaning we have to walk back past the locals. Then there's the posing infront of random things, taking photos at the dinner table... All the typical touristy stuff.
The locals like to stare at me. Especially when I'm on the beach, in my bikini.
Sometimes I just wish we could come when it's a little busier, & stick to the more touristy places where we blend in a bit more.
Having saying that though, Thailand's awesome.
I love it.
Up until today it's been tropical rainforest downpours.
Today the sun came out, & corrr it's hot! I managed to get sunburnt by sitting in the shade all day, I don't see how that's possible but it happened.
There's my little update.
I'm in an internet cafe, & it's slowww, so you'll have to wait until I'm back home for photos :)
Oh &, HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
The most halloweeny thing I've seen all day is a little thai man sitting in his usual bar with flashing devil horns on. I laughed.
& OH I LOVE TUBBY ASIANS.
They're adorable.
Peace Out, in the Buddha sense.

The standing-out-against-thai-people thing sounds a little embarassing, but then, I would think that, I have very low self-confidence.
When you get embarrassed just remember you will probably never see any of those people again, and that they probably see stuff like that every day :D
