what i saw/learned while in the countryside:
- the tap water is shitty. so shitty that people have to resort to buying water from stations that dispense solely water. imagine a petrol station, only it dispenses water
- they care a lot about recycling but don't seem to give a fuck about contaminating their rivers
- by right they're supposed to drive on the right side of the road. all sides seem to be the right side though
- life is cheap. very cheap
- there are too many dogs. it seems mandatory for each household to have no less than 2 dogs and the dogs are allowed to roam freely
- the dogs are all bark and no bite. most of the time they just bark too much
- the area is fucking hilly/mountainous
- the temperature is either very cold or very hot
- the food vendors are ninjas, only they don't kill or wear black
- the ninjas ride scooters and pop out from nowhere when you need them the most. kind of like fairy-godmothers
- milk tea (nai cha? is that how its spelled?) never tasted so good
- the villagers <3 soldiers. most of them at least. the others will mock you or just threaten to steal your rifle
- i lasted 7 days without showering
- i lasted 5 days without maintaining oral hygiene
- according to my platoon sergeant, the weather can be hot and cold at the same time. hot as in the temperature and cold/chilly winds. yes, wtf
- the above mentioned point turned out to be true
- i saw a cripple speeding on his motorized wheelchair. what made it so funny was that the wheelchair was ironically branded "karma"

must have been exciting
Don't you wish you could have stayed there forever?
maybe there was a part of me did want to stay there. maybe there wasn't. i find it too hard to feel nowadays.
