One day I needed to check my email so I hiked out and took a motorbike to Minros (or the Main Road).  On the way there I gave a sister a ride as three can fit on a motorbike, easy.  On the way back the driver pulled over and offered to let me drive.  Sure this could be fun.  I was scared to go too fast so I am sure I was crawling, but we made it safe.  When we got off I put out my hand and said “hah sip bhat” which means 50 bhat, the price of the ride.  Wow I had the other drivers rolling.  Yea two word jokes!  It created quite a rapport with this driver and he ended up helping me hike out my pack and giving my a ride when I left the gathering for good.
