Many times this trip I see something a bit different, something that I have not seen before in all my years in Thailand. Today that sight was an old lady riding on the back of a bicycle legs outstretched, with feet turned out rather awkwardly at a right angle (to stay clear of the spinning back wheels of the bicycle directly underneath her)while talking on a cell phone.
The old lady was extremely skinny, rather shockingly skinny, rather unhealthy like underweight and probably about 75 years old. The strangest thing, was that as weird and fragile as she looked, she also seemed perfectly comfortable.She happily chatted away as a younger Thai women peddled (her daugher?). She seemed like she had been riding that way her whole life, which she no doubt had. This talkative old lady probably road that exact way minus the cell phone 70 years on back, with her mother pedaling away.
