It's become a ritual, a habit, an EVERY DAY thing. I think I might go insane. As the sun begins to rise in the wee hours of the morning, the roosters begin to crow, the streets become louder with motorcycles zooming by, and people begin to yell as if no one in the world is asleep.
All of this white noise does not compare to the one single most annoying sound in the world that decides to perch itself right on our balcony railing every morning at 5 am. I think it is out to make me insane. This morning I had enough of it. As it began its horrifying screeching, I snuck to the balcony door and slowly opened it. What do you know? There it was, perched on the railing squawking TOWARDS our window! As I began to open the door more it noticed me and turned towards me. It took off towards its home in the tree across the street. That bird has not seen the last of me. I will have revenge!

In the country, the roosters would start crowing at 3am, before the sun comes up. It was so annoying. Who ever heard of roosters crowing in the dark! While I was in Thailand I made a tape of the different common sounds that I heard there and I know I recorded the roosters on it. But then the ladies who cooked for us deleted it by accident. They tried to listen to it one day and hit the record button instead. You can hear them talking in the background, sounding confused like "Why can't we hear anything!" It's pretty funny actually. I should play it for you sometime.
