Yet another thing I never thought I'd experience

So I knew when we moved to Thailand I was in for a whole lot of new, exciting, and most likely unusual experiences. But what I find funny is that some of the things we've experienced are not necessarily the type of things I had in mind.

A few weeks ago we went to a Drift Competition. Yes, it was voluntary, and no I never in my life thought I'd be at one of those. Outside the mall they are often having some sort of event going on. We were going to the mall one day and Micaiah (my car-lovin' child) noticed that there were race cars everywhere. After some investigation we realized it was a Drift competition. Micaiah, upon hearing that cars were racing really wanted to check it out. Since it was $3 for adults and the kids were free we figured we only had $6 dollars to lose.

Wow, what a blast. These drivers were either really good or really crazy. Maybe both. I have to say it wasn't my best moment as a mom since the cars were driving and "drifting" out of control about 50 feet from us with only a cement block between us. But it was so fun to see Micaiah's face as he watched them race.

Here are some videos. It was incredible how close some of those cars came to hitting the barricade but always somehow skirted past!
