Traveling

Now that is how you cross a border!

I am in Thailand. Again.
So I took a minibus down to Vientiane, which was nice and quick, and met some cool people. Went across the Thai-Lao Friendship bridge (checkmarked: done!)
Just after the crossing thru Lao immigration you have to take a bus to Thai immigration, then figure out a tuk tuk or taxi or smthg to the train station, or wherever you wanted to go.
Thank god this hot hunky Spaniard took charge and this Canadian girl I was chatting with (who happened to be travelling with the hunk) and I were escorted into a taxi and whisked to each place for 100 bhat. I think it's the first time I crossed a border without feeling like I got ripped off! Damn it felt good!
But get this, we get to the train station where I was getting my train to Bangkok (the Canadian and the Spaniard were traveling on by bus). The girl says she has a ticket that is basically going to be void so she'll come in with me to see if she can change it over to me...
It worked and she didn't let me pay her! Now those who know me, know I don't accept this type of behavior! But she ran! Really!
So I sat there in a stupor and paid the change fee and have 3 hrs before my train to Bangkok. I don't even know her name!
So lady from Vancouver- Thank you!!!
