Like to cover my beautiful set of hot wheels with ragged tape. Two purposes: a) it protects it in case it were to say… fly off the back of a bus and b) I believe it makes it slightly less desireable for the un-rightful owner to want to take it home.
Last time I used duct tape. Then in Bangkok they peeled it all off, reminded me of its former beauty and required me to do it all over again. But this time, I found hot pink cloth-like duct tape. And this time, in the land of anime, carton-loving adults and motor-decal mania, I think I may have got carried away. I decided to add my own creative personal touch with a salute to “girl power” via Powderpuff Girls support (I really wanted to go Hello Kitty but she’s an expensive little cat in this area). Anyway, I may have defeated myself as now it is probably the most desireable girl bike in all of Asia!
Haha, I wouldn’t buy the female model Trek bike in Bangkok because it was simply too girlie looking (turquoise with white leafy decals and big cushy white seat, puhh-leaze), then I made a joke that I wanted a pink bike with streamers and purple flowers.
Well, voila… Sending my love to all my sistas! Powderpuffs rock, baby!

Hi ! Tried to post this on the other snippet but not sure why it won’t post so I’ll post it here considering it all relates to Thailand! Love the idea of a girl bike in Asia ;-) …. Hey girl!!! Glad you posted some updates. Well you have probably already made your decision considering its now the 4 May. Did you go for option 1? I don’t like the thought of option 2 considering how strict Thailand I think are… Don’t really follow their rule considering you haven’t been that long in Thailand?! Or did I miss something. Sounds like it’s all an adventure though!!! I wish I could be travelling with you. Let me know what you think of catching up end of May? Big hugs and look forward to hear from you soon! Miss P
