Thailand trivia
#1 - Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia never colonized by a European power. Thailand actually translates to land of the free
#2 - The power plug, Thai plug or TIS116-2549 is unique in the world as it allows to connect North American flat blade plugs and Europlugs. Smart!

Preface
This all thing started as many good things start, a bit intoxicated with friends in a bar (a crazy spot in Bairro Alto...). Conversation flowed around traveling, past and future trips, until Thailand was mentioned.... great plans were made by the table :)))) full country road trip, heck.... inter continental motorbike trip plans devised...
But on the next day, calm and with settled mind, one thing sticked: Thailand.
And after some googling around, it started to make sense also in the non-intoxicated state. Truth to be told, i think I'm getting in love with the East... And that was it, my mind was set: Thailand or bust :)
