Oom

Bangkok was an enjoyable experience although I would have done more exploring if I had the choice. The shopping and eating (the cockles salad was SO fucking good) were good but the real fun was in talking to other people.

This cab driver and I were having a pretty friendly conversation and we got to the topic of his daughter and the following ensued:

Me:

So what's your daughter's name?

Driver:

Oom. Her name is Oom.

Me:

Oh, what does that mean?

Driver:

Oom is like *makes cupping gesture with hands, like carrying a baby*

Jules & I:

(Oh how sweet.)

Driver:

Oom is also like how you *cupping gesture* your girlfriend.

Jules & I:

(WHAT THE FUCK???)

I'm sure there are other things to write about but I can't seem to recall anything right now, other than the bloody delicious cockles salad.
