in chiang mai, seeing an elephant doesn’t mean you’re drunk
(necessarily)  so there’s this cluster of bars really close to
where we live… it’s pretty cool, there’s always live music in
one or more of them, and the people are really laid back.
there’s a ton of alt 90s music, which is excellent (anyone who
knows me know i have grown weary of the retro 80s crap that’s
been going on since the 80s ended… enough is enough! bring on
another decade for crying out loud! anyway…). it really brings
me back to when i first was getting into music, lots of
nostalgia and whatnot. me and shaun went and got more than a few
chang beers there the other night. we were sitting outside and a
baby elephant came up! it was so awesome, though i did feel kind
of bad for the little guy, walking around the city. apparently
some elephant handlers bring their elephants out at night and
get people to buy sugar cane off of them to feed them. it was
pretty cool to just see an elephant hanging out though. we
didn’t get a picture, but i’m sure
