After a few months here, I've learned a few things about
- For women pajama sets are always appropriate attire, no matter what the situation
- There is no such thing as an "express bus"
- Thailand is the land of 7-11s, and Cambodia is the land of rubber banded plastic bags
- No matter how big or small, a bicycle is always your size
- 90% of people in the world are size 'M'
- It is far better to be Canadian than American
- Tanktops are never ever a good look for a middle aged man
- Rice is the perfect side dish to anything, even rice
- Mime is the universal language
- There is no problem that cannot be solved by money
- "Hey lady you need tuktuk" is the most lascivious statement ever
- The holier the temple, the more foreigners dressed inappropriately
- Korea is Spaaarkling (that's their national slogan)
- Monks are more adventurous than the average person (i.e. riding in the back of a truck, covered in auto parts)
- Processed meats come in every shape and color imaginable (but everyone will call it chicken), and should be put on everything, even vegetarian pizza
- Every white guy secretly has an (east) asian fetish
- Things sold in boutiques are really just things bought in local markets and cleaned
- Anything and everything can be transported on a motorbike: refrigerator, chest of drawers, TV, girl w/ IV, 1000 baskets, 5 huge ceramic urns, 3 fat Americans
- Toilet paper can clean anything
- Plastic bags are the perfect containers for all items
- No real asian actually finishes all their food-- to not leave something on your plate is to prove yourself uncouth!
