i don't have internet access on the weekends...so my apologies for the delay in posting...i'm at an internet cafe right now so that i can give you an update.
i completed my class on friday....and the adventure has begun:
Saturday we went to my first of the "1000 things to see before you die" that is located in Thailand. The Chatuchak Weekend Market...it was incredible! there were stands selling anything you can imagine lining streets and creating their own streets for over 5 miles. (pictures to come;)
the afternoon was spent reading by the pool, and the evening brought another small adventure. in an effort to see a movie (which is quite the experience in Thailand) we went to an incredible mall downtown. it was just like the King of Prussia Mall in America but nicer...flat screen TV's hung on the walls in the food court...and level 5 of the mall had Ferrari and a Lambroghini dealers. it was strange...
i had my first ride on the skytrain which was neat and ate ROTI for the first time. it's like an omlette inside of a pancake...and has chicken and veggies inside...topped with a chili ginger sauce. SOOOO good...my favorite thing yet.
Today we went to an English speaking church downtown-very cool- and then went out for Lebonese food for lunch. good stuff...
basically i'm just counting the minutes until my sister gets here....
tomorrow we're headed to Krachanaburi...where the bridge over the River Kwai is lacated along with the historical death railroad...then picking Clare up from the airport late...then the real fun will begin...
i'll add pictures on monday...
AHHH you can all pray for one of my classmates who contracted Denghi Fever and is in the hospital...it's a disease transfered by mosquito's and it referred to as "Break-bone" fever because you feel like your bones are breaking...great huh. she'll probably miss class this week and she's bummed...and not to mention in pain...don't worry mom she contracted the disease in Cambodia...

Germs:) Let me say I let my daughters go during a heightend terror alert! I am learning new depths to trusting the Lord! I think there is a lesson here! Enjoy. experience and write a journal. You are never going to want to forget this!Love to you! We are praying for you daily...Love Mom and Dad
the markets are almost overwhelming...i found myself limited my wanderings to the Thai goods sections only...no need to shop for "western" clothes;)
hope pizza was good!
mis padres:
well i'm glad you released her;) just got filled in about the car-bombs in london...crazy. will keep you posted as we travel...love you.
Sometime roam the "western clothes" section. You could make some great finds for peanuts. Most US designers use Asian sew-shops to fabricate their clothes. You'll recognize the labels!
