            I used to be so embarrassed by my mom. Whenever I would have friends over, it felt like she always asked them a million questions.

We stayed there just until we could book our 10 hour bus ride to Chiang Mai where we met our first contacts: Ray and Candice. We loaded a ten bag pyramid on the top of his truck and have been getting around either crammed in the back seat or bouncing around in the...
