To start with...I am very sorry to my loving and wonderful parents who I once again fooled from the other end of the world on yet another April fool's day where I am abroad. I am just too good and it is just too easy when you can get people as soon as they wake up before they are suspecting. So i am sorry, but it was really funny. And I am sorry to all the rest of you who I had great plans of fooling but then got too lazy. Like-I'm moving to India permenantly or got married or both. ha! Happy April Fool's Day everyone! And Amy happy early birthday as I will be on an elephant's back spending the night in the jungle for your real bday and don't want to miss it!
Ok so after I last wrote, I experienced some serious horror. We had discussed going to a Thai boxing fight and initially that sounded cool and then i realized i don't like fighting. like at all. i thought about it for awhile. I really didn't want to support such a horrible thing, but then I figured, hey, I'm in Thailand. We arrived in the stadium to our ring side seats and I realized how terrible it was going to be. The first match was with 2 little boys-really really little. it was awful. They beat each other up for 5 whole rounds! I can't even stand to watch dogs playfully fighting! The rest of the rounds were with older guys and seemed more skilled than just plain fighting so it made me feel slightly better. But I am still ashamed that I supported fighting. don't hold it against me. I am still a lover, not a fighter. Afterwards we were able to buy some cool Thai boxing shorts which will make some superb Halloween costumes!! ofcourse-i'm always thinking!!! We walked around in Patong for a bit which was a bit crazy and scandalous. Out in the open hookers and stuff. it was pretty disgusting. We then headed back to sane Kata beach to sleep and called it a night.
The next day, we chose to lessen our sun for a bit and hung around the shop where the others were having wetsuits made. We had lunch at "Mr. India" and even got to meet "Mr. India". the food was excellent and they even had real Indian tea! it was so exciting! After the meal, I thanked Mr. India in Hindi and he was pretty psyched. yes, i just wrote psyched. Last night we had dinner at a pretty nice place where I had a feta cheese salad with actual feta cheese. yum. Afterwards we went to Ska Bar as recommended by a British guy we had met a few days before (although we thought it was called Sky bar due to accent misunderstandings). I had a delicious drink that tasted both blue and like grenadine. my favorites! We played soccer with a local little boy on the beach which was pretty fun. He was out way passed his bedtime selling roses and was just cracking up laughing while playing. In the middle of playing, he would just stop and say "roses" while being the all super serious salesman that he was. it was fun!
oh right and i forgot...i got my first Thai massage and it was great! 1 hour of being yanked and stretched and all for under 10 bucks! I am thinking I will definitely have a few more of those before leaving the country! It is almost like PT without it being PT!
Today was another day of bumming around the beach. I am thinking I need to invent a face mask that is UV protectant for the ocean addicted child like myself. I can't stay out of the water so i am getting a bit of color. oops. I try to stay under the umbrella (sing it Rihanna) while on the beach, but there isn't much you can do while swimming. We then had dinner nearby where I was forced to have grilled cheese and fries (my only option...and it was supposed to have ham!) but it was great considering our awesome musical entertainment. I don't know where they got the singer from, but he makes me sound like a real singer! We all sang along to Brown eyed girl, although I think we did better at singing the right words (I'd say he was at about 47% accurate with the words). Katie and I then got up and danced to "No Women, no cry" Thai style. which to me includes the cabbage patch and running man. dont ask. it was pretty fun. oh and the spoons as our mikes was a pretty nice touch. this was all fueled by some good old all natural pineaple juice with nothing in it, although I am sure they probably thought we spiked it ourselves.
I think that is all for now...I'll report after the elephant day-hopefully i won't fall off and hopefully my elephant won't run off in the middle of the night with his legs tied together to find a girl elephant as Charlie my camel had a few weeks back.
