JJ

Today i tackled the well known JJ market and let me tell you...i was defeated! This is a massive outdoor market where you can find just about anything! from cats dogs and lizards to books and buddas! Any kind of clothes imaginable with also any kind of food! I went to the market with JaJa and some of the university kids we met last weekend! it was nice to have someone to show us around! The market is very cheap and you can bargain with the owners even more if you dare! sometimes they will five you a discount sometimes not! i was shopping for probably 6 hours today and only bought one thing!! a dress for 100 baht! which is like 3 dollars in case you were wondering! When you are in the market it is extremely hot because of all the people and the cook houses but i was so excited most of the time i really dint think about how much i was sweating...gross! haha! I think i was so overwhelmed by all of the interesting things to buy that i wanted to see it all before i bought anything! They have a whole animal section in the market where they sell cats dogs bunnies hedge hogs and other furry creature but they also have turtles lizards snakes and cool fish! its sad to see all the cats and dogs tho because there are so many of them and they are just dying in the heat and then they are all cramped into a small cage i just feel so bad i want to buy them all! In the market there were quiet a few baggers which is really sad to see! there were children begging for money and even a small girl dressed like a gypsie dancing for what ever she could get! its hard to watch all the poor people around. i gave away most of my pocket change to some of them but i mean you cant help them all right?
After we were defeated by the market and the heat we retreated to the well conditioned mall which is called "the mall"...{how original eh?} after searching for another hour to find myself a pair of shoes i was let down again! its hard to find a pair of shoes in thailand with big feet!! and very frustrating! so we finally gave up on the whole shopping thing and went to...Swensens!!!! its like the ultimate sundae experiance! thats what it says on the menu! Its like an ice cream restaurant and let me tell you i was sooo glad to sit down and eat my feelings! all on all it was a good day tho! it was nice to get out of the house and do something other then school! even tho i was defeated by the heat and the market i still had fun adventuring! Anyways thats all for now!
