Market and More

Last night we went to the market on campus, I felt like it was one of our deepest forays into real Thai living yet. The students had a stage where some drama dancing and singing when on, but the most amazing thing was the food, Preston (my roommate) and I luckily had a pair of Thai girls showing us around and answering all of our questions. There must have been 30 different vendors with their stalls lined up selling everything from smoothies to squid on a stick. I bought some gnaaw which a red and green fruit that looks like a sea urchin or something but has the consistency or a pealed grape once you get the skin off. At 20 baht (50 cents) per kilo im going to be heading back next week for sure.

One of the reach interns birthday was today. A bunch of us went to Future Park (our local mall) and had dinner and icecream. It was a ton of fun because not only did we have our whole team but allot of people had invited some the the Thai friends that we've made; so there must have been 30 of us all sitting at one huge table at Black Mountain Coffee (kind of the Thai equivalent of Ruby Tuesdays or O'Charlies).

The only other thought I have fort the night is that I really need to find someone new to help me with my Thai. I haven't been able to learn at near the rate I was since Amy left. The folks on the team still say I am coming along really well, but I feel like I could be doing allot better with a little bit more focused help. Well that for tonight, I haven't even been hear two weeks and im already going nocturnal again.
