Another Exciting Weekend

Well I thought that I was going to do nothing today, but instead I did quite a bit. Morgan, Stacy, Kim, Justin, and I all went to the shopping mall. Holy crap was there a lot of stuff. Shoes everywhere which was good because I am looking for some to match my suit. So we went and checked the whole mall out. Bought sandals and some black dress socks. Saw a bowling alley and then got some donuts at a random little donuts store. No shoes, but other stuff. Then we went to the Forest Watt. Cool tunnels. Then walked around looking for a pawn shop to buy a guitar. No pawn shop, but definitely a guitar. Brand new, “epiphone like”, “Carols guitar. Awesome! 1500 baht. $43. oh ya….plays good and sounds even better. Emmet bought a electric mandolin as well….it’s awesome. Just formed our band….. “Farangs”…..classy. But now headed to bed for the gibbons tomorrow!!!

Day 11

Flight of the Gibbon. Crazy fun. It was exactly like it sounds. Zip line over a jungle. Lunch and a waterfall. Cleaned up and went and got some food for dinner. Burmese food was disgusting. I think I’ll probable get sick  Came back and played some music with Emmet and got another dinner at Laan Dao. Good but the owner sat in front of us and watched us eat and talked with the whole time. Kinda awkward. But we went and got some shoes for our suits and came back and showered again and strapped up the new suits for Kalen’s birthday. Went back to Laan Dao for drinks and headed up to the roof top to drink and play some music. Got tired and came down stairs to pack since we are moving to the International Center (IC).

Day 12

Woke up and realized that the Burmese food was bad. Mantazuma’s revenge!!!! NO!!!! But, I got it out ;) Went down to the coffee shop to talk with Ashley and did that til 11:30. Grabbed my stuff and headed to the IC. Got here and it not as good as the hotel  Have to pay for internet and it’s farther away from everything. So it’s a good thing we are only here for two more weeks. Took a long cat nap and ate some food down stairs. Pretty good and inexpensive. Then we took our laundry down and paid for some internet that will last us about a week. Went and ate again at an “organic vegetable, food, and drink” place. So freakin’ good and good veggies and big portions and really inexpensive. We will definitely go back  Then waited around for people to get back from dinner so we could go bowling. Walked to the mall where the bowling alley is on the fifth floor. Weird, because the mall stores were closed, but not the mall, so we could walk around an empty mall. Kinda weird. Went to the rock and bowl and bowled ok, but not great. Had fun, but got way too hot. Then we went down to a bar where our friend “Ball” was playing in his band. Emo music, but it was good. Walked back, took a shower, and now off to bed. I actually have school tomorrow. What the hell?!!!
