overconfidence prevails

so... we're getting a little more confident with our thai language. Last night we went out for dinner to the night market. The ordering went well, so did the paying of the bill. The problem came when i (overconfidently) tried to engage in charming small talk with the lady who made our dinner.

The look of pity and distress when i (accidently) told her i was sleeping in the night market... well, i guess the beard didn't help her perception of me as a vagrant.

We met up with some friends for iced fruit shakes and roti (very sweet bready pancakes) and once again overconfidence prevailed as kate asked for: 'salt juice in a Lime with no glass'.

... did i say that Thai food is gorgeous? Aroi maak!
