Let's make coffee!!!

In Thailand people sleep very little--which may explain why caffinine is readily available in any form anywhere here. Energy Drinks come in plenty, coffee stands of various kinds are everywhere you can get nescafe, powdered drip coffee, real coffee-- you can get it sweet or not sweet, hot or cold. I liked coffee before coming to Thailand, but living with a roomate who has a cup every day and in a city where it comes in plethera--I've started to enjoy it even more. Coffee has also been a place of great relationship building and language pratice. Almost every Saturday I go to small coffee shop really close to my house and talk with the sister and sister-in-law who run it--their becoming Thai friends of mine. Some days I get some by the bus stop and they too know my name and my order before I even say it. Coffee has become a casual friendship builder and a way to feel a little know in this massive city. It also helps that when I get coffee here it is never more than $1.00. ( Another reason I don't understand why starbucks are so popular here when thier cup of coffee is still $3.50, and I can get good coffee for $1.00--it must be the rasberry syrup :) )

But who would of thought that Rat's like coffee too. Yes that's right Rat's in my house like to make coffee. One morning Sara and I woke up only to find that Rat's had made morning coffee for sara and I. --it's was almost like Ratatouille.
Here's how Rat's make coffee--maybe as strong as french press.
Step 1--knock down a full glass bottle of instant Nescafe red cup
Step 2- Roll around in water and or lick the coffee to become sticky paste all over the floor
Step 3--If you let it steam for several minutes it becomes even stronger
Step 4--Add water while trying to mop the coffee ( this is my part, the rat is too small to do it by
it's self)
Step 5--Add more water and soap while still trying to mop the coffee up
Step 6--repeat steps 4 and 5 about 5-6 more times--each time more coffee being produced
Step 7--drink and enjoy--okay just kidding Sara and I really didn't drink the coffee, but I think the rats might of because they seemed more active and jittery that night.
Can Rat's get coffee buzzed???
