The land trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai took us 9 hours and 30 minutes. We left at 830pm and arrived at 6am the next day. We rode in those double decker buses that ply the Bangkok to the neighboring cities/provinces routes. The road to Chiang Mai is really well-paved, and considering the distance it covers (about 700 kilometers from Bangkok!), I can only sigh when I think about how a 10-hour ride can only take me as far as Banaue (which is about 333 kilometers).
Versimilitude, in literature, is how fully the characters and actions in a work of fiction conform to our sense of reality. To say that a work has a high degree of verisimilitude means that the work is very realistic and believable – that it is "true to life."
