Chatuchak...

Yesterday morning (Saturday) a bunch of us headed over to Chatuchak market. Its a giant outdoor market in Bangkok. I hear it has over 4000 stalls and is the largest open-air market in Asia. Walked around a bit, but didn't see too much that interested me. Took a taxi back and hung out here in the afternoon. For supper when across the street with some people and had sticky rice, chicken, and papaya salad. Very good. After that went to Swenson's (icecream shop) in Big C. This morning went to Chaengwattana Community Church which is located in a planned community called Nichada Thani. Afterwards I went to Que Paso's again with Lindsay and Nathan. I ordered a taco salad but got a fajita chicken sandwich. Oh well, mai pen rai. Ironed a few shirts this afternoon, then went over to The Mall (capitalized because the name of the mall is "The Mall"). We were gonna watch a movie but it didn't start when the Internet said it did so instead I checked out the rooftop waterpark with Melisa, Hanna, and Heidi, then grabbed some supper and took the bus home. Walked over to the pier with some people then headed back here. Tomorrow orientation starts, and in the evening Nathan, Tim, and myself are gonna clean the apartment.

hi sam - first time i've checked out your blog - really gives me an idea of how life is over there, pretty far from fort mac. i've gotten a bit of a taste of teaching myself the last couple days as a substitute - the low man on the teaching totem pole and the target of every potential student. its been fun, and i've heard that if i can survive this and enjoy it, teaching full-time will be a breeze - read you later
