Scooter crash!
I was in a minor scooter accident last night. Long story short, I went to test try a scooter and accidently pressed the accelerator, and got dragged halfway across our street. I must have been really excited, and not really thinking. I have ridden a scooter in Thailand and in these past few weeks, so I was really shocked that this happened. I was lucky that there was no oncoming traffic, and that I was able to stop myself before entering the other lane.
My Taiwanese roommate was horrified. I apologetically made an excuse to the scooter shop owner and we headed to the pharmacy to fix up my wounds. To make matters worse, I fainted and then threw up right in the pharmacy. Ai-o. I don't think the pharmacy lady was impressed...she said that I needed to go to the hospital.
I went and took an X-ray today, and thankfully nothing is broken or shattered. I will give it some time before climbing on to another scooter. This weekend, we will go to a gay pride parade/concert at S.Y.S, and maybe head up for a BBQ at Yummy mountain! Yay for the weekend!
