Thailand makes me want to go veggie

After only a few short days here...I've decided that the meat in Thailand has convinced me to go vegetarian. I think I'm going to stick to the green stuff (and tofu!) for the rest of our trip.

Why? If you saw some of the "meat" that floats around the curry and noodle dishes we have been ordering, you would understand. Sometimes it is quite normal looking... but sometimes it is big pieces of just skin... or stringy ligaments... or other things.



Here is a photo of the "chicken" that Matt pulled out of his curry tonight. Mmmm.




I don't want this whole post to be a downer though, so I'll end with a few GOOD things about food here: 1) It is cheap! So cheap! woohoo! 2) The pad thai tastes exactly like pad thai in the US... and it is amazing and reliable. 3) You can get plastic bags of delicious sliced fruit (pineapple, watermelon) just about everywhere and at any time of day.



And generally... the food (minus the scary meat) has been pretty dang good. Example - my dinner tonight (green curry with tofu and veggies)
