Do you ever start doing something, then in the midst of your actions, ask yourself
why exactly you decided to do this? I had one of these moments yesterday: After my
20 hour plane flight, I rented a car and drove it to Burma. On my drive through Northern
Thailand's beautiful rice fields and mountains, I had about five hours to reflect
on why I decided this was a good idea. I wasn't sure. Every time I went for my blinkers
and accidentally turned the windshield wipers on, I questioned my good judgment even
more—it was a trial by fire trying to navigate Thailand's crazy streets while reversing
lanes in my head (Thai's drive on the right wrong side of the road). Yet, around 5:00
a.m., I successfully arrived unscathed at Mae Sai, the Thai-Burma border town.
