Sabai Sabai (phrase, thai): meaning 1) to take to the Thai way of life and chill out and take things easy 2) pure happiness for indo-canadian female tourist.
The past few days have been a blast, including such activities as: driving a scooter up the mountain, shopping in the Night Bazaar, and becoming a lead singer for a live band. Explanations as follows:
Yesterday, Claire, Mark (a fellow trekker and the first Saskatchewan-ite I've met) and I were wandering the city looking for trouble, when we built up the courage to brave the roads to get up to the mountain and check out the temples and sights of the city...Claire was very reluctant, and I was iffy, but didn't want to show any weakness to Claire for fear of her "You've got to be kidding me, there's no way we're doing this" look (I've gotten it a few times). SO after I convinced her and myself that we'd be perfectly fine since I'd driven a scooter before (um, like 14 years ago), we headed up the mountain, which was soooo much fun....I definitely see a Vespa in my near future!
Night Bazaar = shopping = happy Nelu.
The lead singer thing...haha, we met up with our trekking crew on Wednesday night at a place called Utopia, and that it was! Our friend Rene had purchased one of those wooden frogs that make the sound when you run the stick over its spine...anyhoo, a song the band was playing needed some cow bell, so I took my little frog friend up and joined in....which quickly turned into playing the tamborine, then doing a duet with the singer for "By the Way", and rounded out with me singing Oya Como Vah for the crowd. Red Bull does funny things to a girl...Thai Idol, here I come.
We're off to Huahin today to visit with my family friends...it's full moon party all weekend, but the islands are being hit by a severe storm so we're going to play things by ear...Huahin is a great beach resort town from what I hear, so some sabai sabi is definitely in our future!
