Life with the Locals
... that night. After all the other workers left, I had Borrick and Junfil stay back so I could give them my favorite hat (my UT one), my work boots, and my rain boots.
PG-13
If you've been to Thailand, you know how popular sex changes are. I wouldn't say it's nearly as prevalent, but it's definitely here as well. One of the local volunteers was a transexual. I don't really want to harp too long on this, but basically she (formerly he) was a ...
