A detail I left out of my Chaing Rai trip. Me eating bugs. Crickets and worms are it so far. No, they don't taste like chicken. Yes, they are crunchy and get stick in your teeth. I can't do anything else like the giant roaches in the picture. The worms are what my students call "Worm French Fries" and they are expensive. Clearly I did not buy them, they were given to me by a Thai and I didn't want to refuse after he spent all that money. I would object to any associate and say the name compromises the good thing that is the French fry. Bugs make squid and octopus very non daring. Incidentally, squid and octopus are both superior in taste to insects.
In other news... they were running a fabulous special at the local barber. I got a terrible, probably, yeah, definitely the worst ever, haircut for the same price as a good one would have cost. Lucky me. I think an English speaking epileptic could have done better cutting my hair because at least that person would have understood that I wanted about 2 cm cut off, not I wanted 2 cm left on my head. Mom, tell Debbie she has got some repairs to make. (That's my hair person I have been seeing for years. Say what you want, I like familiarity and I'm not afraid to visit a salon if I must.) Oh well, I'm not in Thailand to impress. Hopefully it grows back. Au revoir m'amis.
