ROOKIE
I fell off a scooter today. I didn't actually fall off. I jumped off...intentionally. I was sitting side saddle because I was wearing a skirt. We weren't going terribly fast. I think we were only in second gear. I started to slip and couldn't re-situate myself. I had to think fast. The best I could come up with was to jump. It wasn't the brightest of decisions I've ever made. I was wearing a skirt and flip-flops. I jumped off and started running with the scooter because of the momentum. I looked like the Road Runner. My wheels were turning fast. I'm surprised my legs kept up. My friend who was driving stopped and couldn't really take in what just happened. I still don't know what happened. We both started laughing hysterically. This amused the faculty at school the rest of the day. I'm glad that we could laugh about it because I'm lucky it didn't end badly.

Welcome to the "I've fallen off a moving vehicle in Asia" club. Did I ever tell you that I fell off a bus in India and a rickshaw in the Terai? I'm glad that you aren't hurt!
