I'm in Thailand?
What? I'm in Thailand? It looks like America... but people drive faster and on the left instead of the right. Then there's pretty Thai things all over... Not to mention everyone speaks Thai and barely anyone speaks English.
So I stepped off the plane not knowing what to expect. I had slept through breakfast on the plane, so I didn't get anything to eat. It's alright though... it was actually 4 AM when breafast was held on the plane.
I've been plane riding and hopping for over 24 hours now, and I'm sitting in front of a computer, feeling like I'm still in the air. Not the coolest feeling in the world, maybe I should walk it off.
When I got to my new home in Udon Thani, we walked into my host family's store, then to the back. That's where I live. It's actually quite big.
I just unpacked and put things in my new room, and then went downstairs to "take a shower." What that REALLY meant was "take this tupperware, fill it with water, and repeatedly drench yourself with it." Oh, and by the way - there's no hot water for "shower taking."
The only problem I'm having is with the language. Barely anyone, even in my family, speaks English, so it's hard to communicate with them.
Lunch time, they just asked me if I was hungry. They're taking me somewhere... I wonder where?
Monica.
