A few more things I miss about Thailand.

I miss the sound of roosters crowing at dawn. I miss the ballet of Bangkok traffic. I miss seeing school children doing homework Saturdays in a cafe. I miss long tail boats on the river. I miss riding the water taxis. I miss the ubiquitous pictures of the king. I miss the melodramatic Thai TV. I miss the cutsie, sentimental decorations on bags and packaging. I miss the hucksters trying to sell me "Rolex" watches. I miss deep fried bananas rolled in sugar. I miss soda in plastic bags. I miss the calling of doves. I miss feeding the catfish. I miss students calling out "teacher" "teacher". I miss seeing first graders mopping and sweeping.
