How does one know when they have been in Thailand to the point of comfort. Well here's what I think...
This morning I'm sitting on the toilet contemplating life and why cockroaches love to hang out behind the toilet, important, deep things of that nature when out of no where a rat (and I"m talking a real full sized rat) walks across the floor in front of me. He stopped, stood up on his back legs, looked at me and then continued on. The thing is, it didn't surprise me at all. In fact the only reaction I had other then raising one eyebrow was, "Huh, where do you live around here?". Not a scream. Not a holy $%@*! Nothing other then, "Huh". It occurred to me soon after that this must mean that I'm becoming fully comfortable with life over here, to the point where things like this just don't surprise me anymore.
Just thought I would share...

Yep.
I think for me, perhaps the moment that I ceased to be phased by travelling was when I asked Batman (my self-appointed tour guide in a rural village) whether there was a bathroom at our destination and he said yeah, and when I arrived and asked him about it he pointed at the bushes, and I shrugged and went for it.
