As we navigate this new place and encounter frustrations and celebrations, many blog ideas pop into my head. As we cruise down the road, I'm pretty much alone with my thoughts since the driver and security guy never speak except to answer my questions. It's just a puzzling mix of Ann Murray's greatest hits and plenty of booty-shakin' R&B coming from their mix CDs.
So out the car window there is an array of sights. Some sad, some baffling. And I'm always thinking how I need to snap photos like crazy and share this stuff! But then, the truth is, any description I can think of seems sarcastic or down-right negative. So I scrap lots of my blog ideas and choose not to share if it means I'm sending out cold pricklies to the locals.
Help me out here. I'm struggling with gaging what's okay to share a laugh about, and what's mean. Tell me what you think about this: Men here seem to urinate in public all the time. ALL THE TIME. It was something I had seen in Thailand. Developing countries do not tend to have public restrooms for those out and about like taxi drivers and such. So, where do they go? I don't know but I suppose I saw a man peeing on a wall in Thailand once every couple of weeks. Here, I must see 5 or 6 a day. Their back is to the road, they are in that tell-tale stance, I know what they're doing! Eww. I guess neither of us can keep it all bottled up inside...
Anyway, I'll do my best to keep these posts upbeat and try to shine a light on the good stuff around here. Be warned, that may mean I blog infrequently.
Then, there may be times that something is just too funny or insane and I just can't resist. I might let a little of my dark side show. Don't judge me!
I could also use the old "pregnant lady-with crazy hormones-can't control her emotions " excuse. Yes. That will surly come in handy (for 4 more months).
