Riding Against Traffic...
So today, Erin and I had an interesting experience involving a motorbike and many, many cars. We had just finished eating at our favorite new restaurant, "Black Canyon Coffee." Side note, the food there is amazing and not to mention the coffee is heavenly! I'm so addicted. But anyways, afterwards we're walking to the supermarket about two block away and we hear honking. At first we didn't think anything of it, cause there are many tuk-tuk's and song tao's that honk to get your attention. But in reality, the person honking was someone we knew from church. He was on his motorbike and apparently he had seen us walking (we stand out like a sore thumb.) Now this road we're on is a two-way highway, but it's divided in the middle. We exchange hello's and he offers to take us to Tesco (the supermarket, America's "Walmart".) At first we hesitate cause there's two of us and that would mean there would be three of us on the motorbike, but we get on anyways (we have done this once before.) Now what I didn't realize, until we were already going, was that we were driving the opposite of the traffic. It was so much fun, but scary at the same time. This kind of thing is done a lot here, so it wasn't weird for anyone but us.
