Well today was a fun day! i spent it with one of the other exchange kids from the states! we have become pretty good friends which is nice and ive gotten to know his host faimly as well which is good because they will be my second host family! we started the day off pretty early going to the hospital at around 9...dont worry not for me or him but for his host parents haha...they had a dentist appointment haha! but it was cool to check out the international hospital...its massive!! after our trip to the hospital we went to mine and bryans favorite place...the mall haha. we spent a couple hours browsing around and both ending up with the same thing...watches! yes mother im wearing a watch now! crazy eh! its really pretty tho haha and its real!! very cool its pink gold to so no allergic reaction here!! after finally spending some money at jj mall we went to byrans host mom's work which has a gym and a bunch of fitness facilities! we decided to go and do the most asain thing possible! we played ping pong and badminton...and let me tell you we got our bums handed to us on a silver platter! we definitely need to improve on our skills!
In the past couple of days ive done a few things...mostly shopping...but i never seem to buy anything haha. last wednesday i went to explore the central plaza which is a pretty cool mall and i ended up buying name brand!! woo haha i bought a michel angelo wallet for pretty cheap! so i was happy about that!
last night i accompanied my hosts mom student to a toastmasters class. Its a place where students can learn better public speaking and more confidence infront of people...and its all in english which is a bonus haha! i am not a very good public speaker so i think its good for me to go to the classes...it sonds boring but its actually pretty fun! after toastmaster the university students my host mom and i went out for a bite to eat! its nice to talk to the university students because they are closer to my age. I teach them english and they teach me thai so it works out!
my thai is getting much better im learning slowly but i can manage to put a thai word now and then when i have conversations with people!
anyways tomorrow we are off to siam paragon! another huge mall with a aquarium! and a lamborghini dealership...how exciting! anyways you can expect pictures from that!!
XOXO

a Lamborghini dealership in a mall, wtf. Those malls sound awesome. I have mostly markets here. It is so intimidating (for me anyway) to buy things with a weak currency, Rs500 that is expensive then I figure out it is only like 12 dollars, you do feel like a playa when you pull out a Rs1000 bill though.
I think there are some similarities between out two countries so keep posting and we can compare.
Guys holding hands = pretty weird.
haha agreeed! on both parts men holding hands and being pretty baller with my money haha! i for sure think there are alot of similarities! and i know what you mean by imtimidating o god being blonde over on this side of the world is definitely an eye opener!
How's the art galleries, or artisian markets ? Or are those in the malls too ?
