Ryan introduced me to coconut milkshakes in Koh Samui. I really need to go back there. Maybe I will on my break. It is the last chance to go anywhere for me before I head home, so better make a good choice. That was the day I discovered that rum is actually palatable if you bury it in one of these milkshakes. I have since discovered that although the local coconuts tend to be harvested at full size and not as yummy as the Thai version, they make a fine milkshake. Virgin. I can buy whole carved out coconuts with the water encapsulated in the ball of coconut for about RM5. I was putting them into my mango smoothies but realized that they are a refreshing treat at the end of the day on their own if I sprinkle a generous splotch of cinnamon and squeeze of manuka honey, and then blend the heck out of the entire thing with about a dozen ice cubes. I probably wont find a whole ball of fresh coconut in Vancouver. Right?
But I still wont miss the drivers....
from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
