I started talking to a Chinese girl, she grew up close to Shanghai, named Lee but calling herself rather Michelle, with a perfect English. I found out that she got married with 24 and now she was 26 but travelling a few days on her own. We got along quite well so we ended up spending the next day with eachother. She left at 4pm today so I had to find new friends, which is a very easy thing as you know

Pai
The bus to Pai picked me up at 11 am (in front of the Hug hostel) and I sat with a bunch of Chinese people on the backseat which was quite funny; they got all excited and kept on asking questions and taking selfies with me. We had to change bus at a point and when I took a seat in the new car, a yellow paper on the cars wall hit my eye 'Please vomit in a bag, do not vomit in the car, 500 baht fine'. We were all laughing and sort of anxious at the same time because we had no idea what was expecting us. But in the end the drive was not too bad, I have to admit the drive from Kuala Lumpur to the Cameron Highlands was way worse! We arrived 2 hours late, even though there was no traffic, in the beautiful small town Pai. It was hippier than expected and I found more people with dreads and barefeet than in Byron Bay (Australia...). I stay in the Huan Saran Guesthouse leaded by a Swiss guy from Luzern! My room has the lowest standard I ever had since I'm travelling, but I obviously don't mind. We have no matresses, just a sheet on a piece of wood :'D but we have towels provided which is nice. It feels like sleeping outside because we don't have proper doors and in my dorm room there is a bar, seats and tables. When I arrived there (in my 'dorm') was a bunch of drunken British playing drinking games at 5pm. They suddenly invited me to their circle amd I got a beer put in my had from a guy but I just put it on the table because there was no way I would drink before it gets dark. The other thing was I've just been drunk in Chiang Mai, so I didn't feel like drinking again and I honestly prefer it when it just happens and not trying to force it to get drunk.
