Dear Hillary,
I know you’ve written before about riding side saddle, but the other day I saw a taxi motorcycle with two girls, both side saddle but sitting opposite ways! Crazy man, crazy! I’m 45 years old and come here twice a year from the States and these Thai girls just crack me up every time. Like to comment on this one, Hillary, old girl?

Dear Mel,
My first comment is, don’t be so rude – what’s this “old girl” thing? I may not have come down in the last shower, but it isn’t up to you to throw off at anyone older than you. But then, you are American, so I may have to forgive you. As regards sitting side saddle and facing opposite directions, that is easy to explain, my Petal (you’re not an engineer I hope), but they travel like that to balance the motorcycle so that it goes round corners. Simple! And you already know that Thai girls like short tight skirts, so sitting astride is not possible without showing the world your underwear, which is not polite.
