Well yesterday we went to this incredible restaurant that was the size of a football field outdoors and you pick up little plates and get raw meat and seafood and veggies and grill them on hot coal grills at your table. We went with a bunch of SST students and it was really a great experience. I was nervous about getting sick a little but then I realized that I got sick out of no fault to my own and tons of people eat this and are fine. So I went for it and let me tell you...it was quite the experience...so DELICIOUS!!!
Today we got up and I had time to read a book and relax a little bit before we went out to KFC with our host family for lunch. Not our idea at all, the little girls in my family wanted to go. We met some more SST students and went to this enormous jewlery store again to return rings and buy more useless things. I got some good stuff though in all reality. We then met up with our good Thai friend Buoi pronouced Boy.
She is a student at the university and has more connections than anyone I know! She knows this guy who can get us into this private hotel/spa/pool place for free. So we went and this pool is incredible, quiet and so fun! Marit, Kelsey(another girl from our program), Buoi and another Thai friend of ours all went for a few hours and swam and hung out for a couple of hours. Then we headed to a Mexican restaurant for dinner which was incredible (and a favorite of Buoi's).
All and all i did not eat a single thing of Thai food today but at the same time I don't mind. Weekends here are apparently for experiencing everything touristy and non Thai that we can before we head back to reality on Monday morning.
I had a great day today and I am really looking forward for the weekends to come!
