Chiang Mai to Hong Kong culture shock in the 5 hours I’ve been here is as follows:
- Pedestrians do not have the right of way. This means I can no longer run 20 feet in front of a full-speed automobile and expect it to come to a screeching halt.
- Toilet paper goes in the bowl.
- It’s xie-xie, not khop-khun-kaa.
- The hot pot place we went to for dinner was serving testicles of the ox, goose, and chicken variety.
- FRIGIDFREEZINGARCTICCOLD. I have goosebumps for the first time in 10 weeks.
Ah, home sweet home.
