I went out to dinner and decided I needed a drink, so I made the foolish mistake of ordering a Mojito. I should have known that it was going to be bad. Mojitos, similar to any Mexican food, is always so tempting to order and always so so bad in Asia. The Mojito appears on the menu everywhere, but it seems no one knows how to really make one, and I have gotten several intriguing and rather unfortunate tasting drinks. I believe this is because there are no Cubans in Asia.
The Italian and Indian food has always been great and this is because there are many expat Italians and Indians who come over and open restaurants here. I am eternally grateful to them, because there are only so many chicken curries and pad see ew that I can eat in a row. But no one here knows a good burrito.
I take heart in knowing that I am less than 7 days way from being in Mexico (which is kinda crazy given that I'm still in Thailand) and I have plans to eat a ton of guacamole.
Until then I spend my last days catching as many rays as possible while relaxing on the beach. I spend some time each morning reminding myself that this is January and my biggest dilemma is whether to take a walk on the beach before breakfast or after.
Ahhhhhhhh.
