Tuesday Showers

Lesson of the day, when in Bangkok- CHECK THE WEATHER. 


For starters, me and Brooke went shopping over by grand central mall...walked (for once) and after that I took B to the ghetto barbershop where I got my hair cut for 150 baht. So scary/sketchy getting your hair cut by someone who barely speaks english but when your desperate, anything goes. 
The whole dreadlock thing just wasn't cutting it for me in Bangkok... ITS HOT...ALWAYS.
Brookes hair looks good! I love it... The girl we both went to was a little nervous to cut too much off but I guess that is better than cutting too much off? After getting ready to go to walk to dinner in KhaoSan, we decided we were too impatient and hungry to walk. We ordered a cab and while we were driving there it started DUMPING rain. 
Gnarly thunder and lightning. Brooke spent awhile doing her hair and was wearing her new favorite pants, I spent longer and I was in shorts and her black docmartin boots. 
Picture this: Brooke and Chrissy running down KhaoSan road with no umbrella, B had no shoes on and we were both drenched in acidetic rain. We didn't know wether to die laughing or die crying because we literally spend the last 2 hours getting ready to go out. 
We went with the laughing. 
At dinner (our favorite vegetarian place) we ordered soup. Everyone there was staring at us because we were soaking up the rain like sponges.

While waiting for our soup, a large ass cockroach was crawling up my leg NO JOKE. I about lost it!!!! Brooke was like " OMG CHRISSY STOP, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT." I was like, "DUDE, DON'T SCARE YOU!!! THERE WAS A HUGE BUG ON MY LEG" We then decided its best we get this soup to go and somehow find a ride home in the rain. 
In Bangkok, when the rain comes out... All cab drivers are dicks. 
THEY REFUSE SERVICE LIKE IT'S SOME KIND OF VOLUNTEER WORK. I'm like dude its your job??
So what did we decided to do it the rain? 
Take a TUK TUK.... you know, the three wheeled scooter like car. YOLO.. I was holding on to dear life while holding my hot soup in the other hand. 
This story wont do justice but maybe the fact that I left my laundry on the porch before we left will! 

Overall the night was one for the books. I will remember forever the rain that 1)ruined my outfit 2) made a cockroach crawl up my leg 3) ruined my laundry and 4) made my Tuesday night. 

Goodnight y'all Stay dry wherever you are!
