Yi doing laundry!
On way to 15 - kilometer bike ride. Ted ("my parents watch a lot of American movie") was our guide. Ben says “Best guide ever.” Ted likes MTV, Rihanna, Sean Kingston, and Jay-Z. Jake introduced him to Kanye on the ride back.
The ride was great except for the occasional stretch WHEN WE WERE RIDING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. No one was killed.
We stopped for a snack (pineapple and watermelon) after a few kilometers next to a school. After a lot of prodding from Jake, we went over to check it out. It was like the circus came to town -- quite possibly the first Americans most of these kids had ever seen. We met the English teacher and got a brief tour of the school as we disrupted international learning. Some girls said Ben was very handsome.
We ended up taking a ferry to an island and piloted a labrynth of shops, homes, and secret Thai hideouts. Not as fast as taking a tuk-tuk but nearly as thrilling because we were driving. Also navigated one-meter-wide concrete paths that hovered over the river -- like flying over the water with the caveat that a slip of the wheel means going off into the drink.
