Parking.....thai-style

Today I finally became a "Thai Parker"
I drove to were church meets, got there early so decided to try parking IN the parking garage. (usually I park outside and walk around to the side door. anyway, I found a nice spot, parked, and went to bible study and church service.
After service was over, I made my way back to the car, AND SURPRISE a car had come and parked so close beside me that it was a miracle that my side mirror was still there AND there was a whole line of vehicles parked behind my car (and everyone elses) !!!!
In thailand, once the parking places are filled, then folks park across the back of the cars. they leave their cars in Neutral, so that you can push them out of the way.
Today the cars were all parked so closely that I had to go to the end car and start moving one car at a time so that finally I was able to move the car that was behind me. then I had to crawl through the passengers side door, and do some acrabatics to get my body positioned behind the wheel. finally I was able to back out and drive away !!!! Mission accomplished, I can get out of Thai parking !!! I drove away with a smile on my face.

Later on in the day, my roommate, eileen and I were running errands and needed to find a place to park at the store. All the parking slots were full..... So guess what I did ???? Yep, I parked behind someone and we ran our errands>

I am a Thai "Park-er" :0)
