Yesterday was so insane. We woke up early because we had to move out of our hotel room and move my mom into a bigger one because well long story. Turns out we didn't even half to get up early because we couldn't move until two. So we decided to get Thai massages, and it was so amazing. I've never had a normal massage, much more a Thai massage, but it was so great and relaxing. It all part of the have to experience of visit Thailand!
After a lot of confusion with the room and moving, and the ATM we finally got a cab to take us to my house where i will be living for the next few months. My house is in a gated neighborhood, so the driver got kinda lost but finally we made it. It was so good to finally put faces with names of all the people on my team because I had only known them from facebook. I started unpacking, but i brought the most stuff out of anyone and in a small room with five other girls, it is hard to know where to put stuff. So I really only halfway unpacked and left it. Then we all decided to go to the night market, Mom was going to go home but it got too dark and late we didn't want her taking a taxi and them not knowing where to go, so she went with us too. It just so happened to be the same market that Mom and I went to on the first day, so it was familiar, which was kinda cool. As we walked around, some people were getting really grossed out by the raw meat and the gross smell of the place, but to others it wasn't a big deal at all. Finally we found a little place that had fruit and really delicious drinks and most of us got something from her. I got this hot pink lemon drink, I don't even know what it was because I just pointed to a picture and she made it. It was a slushie and it was so delicious, I'm going to have to go back there and get another one. Then we found another place that had pad thai and few of us got that and scarfed it down, it was so delicious. Right now that is my favorite Thai meal. Also last night, I got my first Thai bus experience. Instead of paying when you get on, a lady walks around with a tube of money and you give her the coins or bills and she will give you change and then a little ticket. For normal buses it is 10 baht, but for air conditioned buses it is 12 baht, both buses we took last night were air conditioned. We ended up getting off the wrong stop last night for the bus and so we had to walk across the bridge that goes over the highway and then walked down the highway with the traffic, motorcyeles, trucks, and cars speeding past us. It was crazy, but we all thankfully got back safe and sound.
Last night was really fun getting to know everyone and just having a good time. Its cool to be surrounded by people who all come from different countries and have their own stories, and I can't wait to get to know them all better.
