because that is a beetle.
we went to the market, saw eels and turtles, lipstick and fish being cleaved. we saw a bunch of bugs, the woman scooped us up a bag, refused to take any money, so we ate mealworms and beetles and crickets in the street with her.

i still have not seen a white woman here. there are white men, and they all stay in hotels with mail-order bride young thai women and avoid eye contact with me in elevators.

also, we built a house. A WHOLE HOUSE. now, outside of udon thani, there are four walls and a floor and a ceiling and windows for this amazing family who cook us AMAZING food.
i dont know how to blog when so much stuff is happening and everyday something crazy goes down; a drunk tuktuk driver follows us and crashes into us, i almost step on a scorpion, i see more things i have never ever thought were real. yeah. it is neat.
