Massage!

Slept regularly tonight! Went to get uniform stuff today and saw some Smcm friends in pictures :) went to town and ate great food at a very secluded place (after some searching.) then headed to the prison massage and got a two hour, full body massage for 12 dollars! It was phenomenal :D so relaxing. All the inmates liked my locks a lot :) now for dinner and maybe big c. We'll see :)

Climbing!

Went climbing today! It was great. Amy and I went to the gym for three hours. I completed six climbs before my arms have out. So tired! I ripped my pinky finger but I'll be fine. Really good stuff for 200 baht. Met great people there. Guy names Harry from whales. Good climber. Also a biker. I might get a membership which would be 3500 baht for four months. Good price. I also looked at bicycles which I might get.  We'll see. Got bubble tea for 20 baht! So good! Going to get a massage tomorrow from female prisoners for 180 baht. Good price and teaches skills to inmates so they can get a job when they get out. Our friends went to a art museum while we climbed. Saw a lot of huge trees. Went to the north west side of the city. Then cut through to south east. Ate awesome food at a real nice place. Bought bed sheets! Lol the exhaust of the city is gross. Need to get a mask for driving around. Love the food a Payap. They cook vegan for me when they don't have it! So nice :) more later!

Chiang Mai

Yesterday was amazing! Went into the city with three other exchange students and loved it! We saw so many beautiful temples and ate wonderful food :) I bought a blessed bracelet and a handmade gift. We found a rock climbing gym that we are going to check out today. Spent like 7 hours in the city and we're going back today :) can't wait!

Football

I was introduced to four Americans today. One from Ohio, one from Texas, one from New England, and one from the Midwest. We drove over to the basketball stadium and played American football. It was really fun and nice to feel at home. My roommate Harry joined us and played the sport for the first time. He did well considering. Still trying to find meatless food. A lot harder than I thought it would be. But I'll get it. Just eating around the meat for now. Don't feel sick any more so that's great. I'm reading a lot. The book, snow falling on cedars, is really captivating. My ankle is hurting because of all the running around. I hope that will heal all the way while I'm here. Might go into the city tonight. Honestly, I'll probably be to tired and just want to read. I can always go into the city later. But overall I'm feeling good and enjoying myself :)

I made it!

I'm here! Long flight and tired body but I'm here. A little homesick right now but also excited and I know things will work out :)

Korea

Made it to Korea. I'm tired but still holding in there. The airport is really nice and everything is going smoothly :)

The big day

Went to Washington instead of Dulles lolz but it worked out and I'm on my way to Dallas. Slept the first two hours :)
