1. Pho is not pronounced“fo” but rather, “fuh.”2. When they say the temperature is 35 C and feels like 47 C with humidity, what they actually mean is that your brain and body are convinced that it’s 55 C.3. I really do like taro.4. Patrick was right– cotton is best. Wicking fabrics don’t really wick in this kind of heat. (refer to #2)5. There are no limits to how big and curly my hair can get.6. Always carry electrolyte powder. Always.7. Crossing the street unharmed is not a human right.8. In some places it is logical to have an extremely strict motorcycle helmet law but to allow families of 5 to ride on one scooter.9. It's possible for a woman with 50 live ducks in baskets to ride on the back of a motorcycle.10. It’s as I suspected - Nestle is taking over the world.
