Pai

Had some pad Thai as usual and then cultures class and then dance where we learned a finger nail dance and I learned a sword dance. The former involves long fake finger nails and much wrist movement with the latter using real unsharpened swords. It was all very awesome :) then language where we took an auditory quiz. Got two wrong but it wasn't graded. I didn't feel to bad because I knew all the letters and what characters they related to but all the sounds sound remarkably similar. Then a quick packing job and off to pai on the bus. It was a four hour drive but it was beautiful :) about 60% of he driving was on a winding mountain rode. Got some amazing views as I listened to my audio book. It was a nice van and it was just the ten of us so there was a little extra room. Got to pai around 8 and checked into the hostel. Great place with raised rooms over rice paddies :) walked to town and did some walking market where I got pad Thai, corn, spring roll, and soy milk for about $2 :) then walked home without the rest of the group and found all the Europeans still up making quite a racket. Hope I can sleep soon!
