CARPE THAILAND: Top 10 Phrases

Although we've all integrated these sayings into our daily vocabulary by now, I still think this Top 10 list will give you a chuckle...

10. 10-10-10-10, 40 bhat
9. (while at Indian restaurant) Kitchen is busy
8. The food in Thailand is EXQUISITE & very cheap.
7. After 40, my friend say, "Do Botock".
6. Walk arouuuund, take a picture, go swimming, & reLEX on the beach.
5. If you did not like the service, sorry, & and sorry for my English.
4. Drink. Don't drive.
3. Juxtapose
2. Wow, Chitra, you are too faast...trrrrr.
1. ...however, whichever, really realized, instead of.

Instead of.

Those two lovely words framed the beginning of a sentence I was writing at work this morning. I started to laugh softly to myself thinking how nice it would be if others could share this moment with me and then I realized I could share this moment with others on this blog:)

Come to think of it there has been a lot of "Instead of" on our trip, no?

Instead of Wat Po...Tuk Tuk Son.
Instead of Karong...Patong
Instead of Alissa...Pratin.
Instead of Oriental...Shangri La
Instead of Nikki...Oil

Well, instead of doing work, I'm blogging so maybe I will stop this idea for now and come back to it. You are welcome to add onto the list.

Welcome!

This is our first attempt to use a blog -- "the girls" wanted to share reflections from a wonderful trip to Thailand.

Take it away, Ladies!
