Today was a mixed bag. It started of really well, church this morning was great both the message and our small group. But we went to one of the malls in Bangkok afterwards and the noise literally made me sick. I had to shut down completely in order not to lash out at teammates. I just tried to remove myself from everything, and it worked to an extent, but I also had to blow everybody off completely. In Bangkok there is always background noise so I think that getting used to it is going to be one of my biggest adjustments here; noise pollution is the first real complaint I have about Bangkok. It got bad enough at the mall that I was nauseous from the noise. But as soon as we got back to campus tonight a new friend called and asked if we wanted to get some dinner with him, so the last bit of the day has been very good. I am loving getting to know my new Thai friends. But this is all for now, im going to go have a good pipesmoke and do some reading to unwind.
