holding hands.

I was rushing to my Rural Development class today and all of a sudden, I ran into something. I looked down and found there was a tote bag obstructing my way. These two Thai girls were helping each other hold it by each taking one handle.

I don’t understand.

Was the tote bag that heavy? Was it necessary to have two people carry the maybe two books in that one tote bag? Why couldn’t one person just carry it. Or if it was too heavy, why couldn’t they take the books out and each take one.

I guess it’s kind of like how Thai girls always walk around holding hands too. Or how each girl carries two bags: a cute purse and a tote bag that they carry their books in. What the heck. Why don’t they just carry one bag with everything in it?

OH YEAH. Big bags aren’t “cute.”

Some things in Thailand I will never understand. Maybe it’s because I’m American. Sometimes I wonder, is this what my mom wants me to be like? She always complains that I’m not feminine enough or whatever. Wait until she sees my legs. HA. Two huge motorbike burns and a infinite amount of scars from mosquito bites.
