Whew! I’m back from Thailand. Let me tell you one thing… when they say “don’t drink the water,” they’re not kidding. That is, unless you enjoy having your guts all messed up, as I do now. Aside from that issue, it was a wonderful trip. It’s a strange country, with lots of overloaded vehicles, temples in the middle of nowhere, friendly strangers, and cheap food.

The Austrian government got sick and tired of motorists pissing on the side of the road (a little pedantic, perhaps?), so they put up signs warning of snake attacks! I have to say, that’s pretty ingenious… although it DOES show a cobra, which clearly doesn’t even dwell in Europe.
Ahhhh, sweet sweet Florida. What happened this time? A man was performing dental work in a dirty garage. As funny as this is, I would totally go there, especially if I was without dental insurance. How are people supposed to afford this shit anyway?
