Today we leave Thailand for the first time since we moved here 6 months ago, to visit family and friends in the US and Canada. On the taxi ride to the airport, I was
watching our new home city go by and saw a golf cart adapted into a police vehicle
round the corner with lights swinging. We both thought it was pretty funny, the
juxtaposition of power and control with the speed and size of a golf cart and
it led to us joking together about all the driving scenarios we would have to
avoid repeating in North America.
- Drive in the right lane, not the left!
- No driving between cars or on the yellow line to pass or
skip ahead of traffic
- It is not customary to bribe officers – DO NOT ATTEMPT AT
HOME
- and so on…
So much of our daily lives has changed in such a short time.
Many things have stayed the same too, but besides the new baby bump, it’s
unclear to me what, if a lot or a little, has changed in us. I think that
returning to family, friends, and familiar places – HOME – will be the biggest
indicator of how this relatively short period of rapid change has impacted us.
Onward!
