One Week




Well Thailand has been quiet the adventure so far! Ive only been here one week today and am still suffering from some homesickness. Zeus spends the majority of his time lounging about in my bed during the day while im off to school. Being blondle in Thailand is an experience thats for sure. You are noticed by most people and everyone likes to look and smile! School is quiet different from canada. There are alot more rules i guess you could say! We have to wear uniforms....{not the most pleasant ones thats for sure :} our hair must be pulled back and we are not allowed to wear make up. Its hard to adjust to everything here but i think im starting to get the hang of it. The traffic deffinatley takes some getting used to!! There are 3 lanes painted on the ground but there are some how 5 or 6 lanes of traffic! and when the speed limit is 80 people drive 110 its crazy! people like to park where ever and do whatever when they drive its nuts! The food is good but im starting to miss things like KD and steak! Things are definatley different and im starting to adjust but it will take some time!!

So much to say....





Well the trip here was quiet the trek. I think Zeus enjoyed himself more then i did because hes small and can fit almost anywhere. I on the other hand get crammed into a seat that is only comfortable in one position and thats sitting straight up. Its really not the ideal position for sleeping thats for sure. When i arrived in japan it was a rush to get to my next gate because we were supposed to be taking off 20 mins after i had arrived, but i was lucky and the plane was delayed because of bad weather. YES! is what i thought because with this extra time i was able to fulfill my sister request and go find the closest washroom to find the floor toilets and thats exactly wehat i did :) it was quiet the site thats for sure. Zeus almost fell in as i was about to take a picture but luckily i saved him... i dont think moose can swim very good in asian toilets! The rest of the trip went smoothly. When i reached bangkok we didnt get out in a normal terminal. We actually got off the plane outside and got on a bus to the terminal. i kinda just followed to people till we reached immagration. I went through customs and then found my EXTREMELY heavy luggage that was fun! Comming out of the terminal into what they call a meeting place and finding my host family was awesome! Both my mother and sister speak very good english so thats has been really helpful. Ive only been here 2 full days and im still suffering the effects of jet leg which really sucks! Everything is going good so far and there is plenty to tell but im still tired, so i think i will leave another story for another day :)!
