skin changes and bananas galore:
- i find that as of late, the entirety of my skin has grown increasingly more sensitive to dust. specifically when i touch old rusty metal, or walk upon unswept floors barefooted.
the sensation following the physical contact is a slow-building itch which spreads and lingers; a thousand fire ants scurrying beneath the skin.
- we just stopped along the road wile entering chumpon, a town 500k from bangkok. chumpon is considered, and aptly named the "gateway to the south." the purpose of our journeys pause was to buy a crapload of bananas. those small delicious beautiful thai bananas.
we loaded up around 20 bunches, totaling around 200 bananas. after looking down the street, i noticed that all the stalls were selling bananas. in a row where bananas are the name of the game, you gotta have selection. picture 500 vendors all selling awesome bananas hanging on plastic strings?
i mean, you can literally drive past the first vendor, decide to not buy some, then change your mind 3 times, before pulling over at a completely identical banana stand. this is the kind of twilight zone that most people fail to come across.
on the other side of the road, prachaosua temple stood out a blazing red against an ocean of yellow and green; remnants of two thousand firecrackers lay in a wide heap, the past services to scare away bad spirits.
as motorists passed along the rows of banana vendors, they honked their horns loud and true 3 times; a passing moment of respect.
