Last month, I wrote a list of things that I will miss seeing when I leave Thailand. Living in a different culture means that everyday sights, smells and sounds are entirely different from things I experience in the US. I love my life in Thailand; this has truly become a home to me, and I will miss it tremendously when I return home to the states. For now, here is a list of things that I enjoy smelling each day I live my life in Thailand, and that I will miss when I depart in two months....
-rice cooking on my morning runs
-spices that catch in your throat and cause a whole restaurant full of people to start coughing
-fried squid (okay... I lied, this is one smell I will NOT miss. It gets caught in your helmet when the visor is down as you drive and then all you smell is squid. I'm not a fan.)
-incense burning
-exhaust as I drive (it sounds weird... and I dislike exhaust now, but I bet that in 2 months when I'm no longer driving my motorbike behind stinky tuk-tuks I'm gonna be missing it
-Thai tea
-clean laundry hanging out to dry on the street
-Thai food in general
-the leelawadee flower's beautiful scent
