been awhile since a post. its been full-time drama here, that's why. about started an international incident. long story short, i had some money stolen. the school is so embarrassed by it, how could this happen at our school?? (answer: it happens everywhere, you are not that special.) but they feel so responsible that they are gonna give me money to make up for what i lost. or, what i estimated i lost since i wasn't actually keeping track of my spending. so that was a good end to a long, dramatic few days.
this weekend i went into bangkok and just wandered around, mostly. yesterday i went to the chinatown area, although it was disoriented so i didn't really even penetrate into the neighborhood. but i did find out where the train station in bangkok is, and got a schedule so i know when i can take the train from or to school (train station 4 blocks away). its cheap, takes about the same as the bus, but isn't air conditioned. it just depends on where i'm going as to what is the better option.
today i went to a weekend market. it was gigantic. i got there early and it wasn't too crowded, but it was pretty packed by noon. it was tiring, walking around and looking at things for hours. plus, it gets hotter and hotter, so that wears me out as well. i have to make sure i eat and drink something regularly or i get totally pooped and irritable. there was some so-so stuff and some pretty amazing stuff, i have to say. lots of clothes, jewelry and art. although it was probably all cheaper than it would be in the US, some of it was expensive.
anyway, that is all for now... this cracked me up:
