Banana Hammocks.......yikes!
























Well lets get cracking. Im always sitting on the skytrain or the subway mapping out my blogs in my head and by the time i sit down and write them ive forgotten all i wanted to say!...go figure. Well were should we start? last time i blogged i was telling you about supanburi....wow that seems so long ago when that was really only a couple weeks. Ive been busy.
So we can flip back to Jan 24th and 25th. I went on an overnight trip with Stephanie. Her host dad was going up to run in a marathon so we thought we would stick along to get out f the city. It was nice to adventure a different city. At night we wandered the night market and a Chinese temple. Found a couple of elephants to chill with :P and that was pretty much it we really didn't do much but i mean when you've been a hermit in the big city for as long as i have it real nice to get out of the city. The Sunday we found another elephant at a different temple we went to see and just played with him for a while he was an interesting fella.
On the 26th it was Chinese new year. Wow people go insane for that here. Probably because a large percent of the population is Chinese. Something like 60% is from Chinese background. So a couple of YE's and i headed down to the insane china town. we were exhausted after 20 mins. So many people and soo hot! It was really cool to see the celebrations tho. We headed out of china town and into little India for a bite to eat. Found the BEST little Indian restaurant yummm butter chicken and naan! just thinking about it makes me hungry! After eating we headed down to the more tourist part of Bangkok for the celebrations there! wow! sooo crazy! a good time for sure!
So the rest of that week i had school...which i mostly slept through wooo.
On the 31st my host family took me to ancient Siam! Well this is where i discovered about 116 ancient temples and ruins from around Thailand and Cambodia......i was tired after 20... it was a long day but really interesting to see all different types of architecture. I ended the day with thee most beautiful farmers tan! Damn sexy if you ask me! im pretty sure i slept most of Sunday the heat really kills me! why am i in Thailand! they should have put me in Siberia i thrive in the cold!
So February rolls around ALREADY! and its the 6th and i FINISH school! wooohooo! no more school! all done finished finito kaaapuut! yes! i did like my drawing classes however :( o well i can draw at home! On the 7th my host family brought me to Khon Chang (aka elephant island) I was sooooo excited for the beach! YESSSS finally down time with the ocean.....didnt really get much down time...thai people arnt a fan of the sun...hmmm soooo why go to the beach if your not gonna lay by the ocean and get glorious tans? who knows these people are strange to me! It was nice to get away from the city and actually swim in the ocean for once tho! I swam as much as i could and got as much sun as i could soak up....maybe a little to much i got a little it of a sunburn...opps we all now how i like to neglect the sunscreen! right momma? i also saw the most beautiful banana hammock in the world....bright red...i nearly hurled....pretty sure it was a european my goodness it was quiet the sight...i wanted to take a picture but i was afraid i may offend someone haha!
