Thailand Rules

I spent my first day in Thailand today... and its fricken great. I have had all sorts of awesome experiences. I have dodged mopeds carrying numbers of persons far exceding the capactity of some small cars, it seen a white dog with eyebrows drawn on on it with eyeliner, I have seen friend rice made "american style" with raisins and ketchup in it garnished with a hot dog made to look like a flower. Andrea though it was sweet potato, it really wasnt. Speaking of potato, I even saw a music video by a thai band called "POTATO".

On the particularly awesome side, it seems that drivers in Thailand are far mor intersted in modifying their cars than Americans, and I am talking tastefully. I would go so far as to say, that on average, people who modify their cars here in fact have better taste. Within the closest 50 shops to my hotel room, there are two car tuning shops, and I am not talking tire replacents here... tein coilovers are an example of one advertsied product. Also there is a moped tuning shop that carries some sick Brembo drilled 4 pot moped brakes. I would almost bet that they woudl work better on my car than my current rear brakes.

I would totally consider moving here. I have taken some pictues, hoewver I am having uploading issues issues right now.

kop kun ka (thank you)

Souped up moped breaks? Are we talking honda metropolitan moped or are we talking motor scooter?

Because I have always wanted to put racing breaks on something that can't break 35.
