NorthBound


We took the 2nd class overnight train to Chiang Mai. Upon boarding we were immediateley handed orange juice cups. Later, after we were underway, the server came to our cabin with a bucket of beers, we told her maybe later. Five mins later, shes back again, we tell her "no its ok", we didn't want singha in our stomach as we rattled and shook our way up north (the top bunks are especially bumpy). So she came back like 4 more times with her bucket, finally after shooing her away 3 times, on the last one she looks a little upset and she says, "yu pay for orn joose now!". Were like "oh no, you gave us this orange juice, you said nothing about money." So I had to bust out my handy dandy phrase book that I bought at the train station and try to resolve this little issue. It took me like 3 mins to find what I needed to say, so meanwhile we're all standing their awkwardly (in such a manner that suggested if we ignore her maybe she'll go away) while she points at the juice cups, saying "u pay now". So armed with the phrases he would need, Steven ventured off with her to another part of the train to see her manager, while he was gone I found this written on the back of my book.

lol?











*Cost of 4 orange juices $4
