Friday was the first day with no classes! The whole group took these boat taxis called khlong boats down the canal to downtown Bangkok - there were AWESOME shopping markets and stuff outside :) We went to a really cool restaurant for lunch and then shopped around a little before coming back.. Traffic in Bangkok is AWFUL by the way. It took us over an hour in the taxi to get back to our apartments.. but good thing is the taxi only cost us about $1.75 per person because everything is SO cheap! Friday night we went out to this place called Route 66 for one of the girl's birthdays. It was so much fun, coolest club ever with laser lights everywhere and a big screen that was playing music videos - all american music! - and let's not forget DJ Buddha! :) By the way.. Sangha = awesome thai beer!
Saturday we went to an amusement/water park for the day which was cool and then we went to dinner at this outdoorsy place and had a bunch of food that was pretty good for the most part.. I am still not a fan of this Thai food i miss my american style burgers & fries a lot! I was so exhausted on Saturday that I didn't even bother going out so a bunch of us stayed in and got some rest.
Today (Sunday) I went to mass with everyone in the morning, then breakfast at Grandma's (the little restaurant we always go to that I have mentioned before) and then we got our Thai cell phones! Then about 8 of us girls went on a walk down by all these cool little outdoor markets and shopped a little.. dripping sweat the whole time because it is literally 9328453945 degrees here everyday! Not used to the heat at all yet.
Grossest thing ever.. last night on my balcony (mom you will appreciate this one) I saw the biggest cockroach on earth.. probably at least three to four inches long. Terrifying
