Today I woke at 4am to fly up north to Thailand's wonderous city of Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is known for its scenery and laid back atmosphere. Today was critical to the rest of my entire trip because I am going learn how to ride a motorcycle. My ride was a150cc Honda Ninja, which is a small "crotch rocket" that can rip through the roads. So my first attempt was not so good...more like terrible. I was reving the engine to high, let go of clutch, and took off out of control down the road heading directing towards a wall. I hit the wall head first and now I have a broken arm. KIDDING! Well kinda. I did almost hit the wall, but I turned just a few feet before hitting it and finally braking to a safe stop. After that adrenaline pumping first attempt, we decided to find a big lot to practice in and now I got it down. Tomorrow I head off on a beautiful 3 hour ride to the cities of Pai and Mae Hong Son.
Inshalla, I return safely....
