I never thought I’d eat fried grasshopper, it tasted like pork rhines, but with little legs that get stuck in your teeth.
-
I never thought I’d be saving napkins or kleenex to use as toilet paper. I really REALLY don’t like squatty pottys. In Asia, there’s no toilet paper, just a bucket and some water to clean yourself, hence the reason for collecting napkins and using every scrap of paper for toilet paper. It’s like Christmas when you find an actual toilet seat!
-
I never thought I’d be spending Christmas in Thailand teaching primary school kids about Christmas and God.
-
I never ever thought I’d be on the radio station on my WR trip or singing Christmas carols to the Commissioner of Ratchaburi (province), the Governor of Ratchaburi or the Warden of the prison.
-
I never want to eat chicken blood, cow tongue, or cooked pig skin ever again.
-
I never thought I’d see so many people come to accept the Lord as I did in the men and women’s prison.
-
I never expected to be treated like a celebrity and have random people ask to take a photo with you ( apparently having your picture with an American is very cool)
-
I never thought I would be able to give a monkey a Wurther’s Original Butterscotch
-
I had always hoped I would never have to take a cold shower in the cold. Never say never. (Those of you who know me know that I absolutely hate being cold!)
-
I never thought I’d see millions of bats flying in the evening sky. Incredible!
-
I never thought I would love Thailand as much as I do!
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year,
Laura
