Hello, สวัสดี (Sa wa dii), Hola

Today we had a picture scavenger hunt in Nakhon Phanom City. It. Was. So. Much. Fun. We basically pretended like we were on an episode of the Amazing Race, briskly walking around the city, taking pictures and trying to be the first one done to call our Field Director and meet her wherever she happened to be in the city. My group dynamic was SO fun and it had just rained so we all kept sliding in our sandals and cutting it way too close to falling many times! Hahaha It really helped us get a sense of the city and I can find everywhere I would need to go now! After we finished the scavenger hunt we did some shopping and I bought another skirt for teaching seeing as they are very much into clothes and appearance here and I did not pack enough riproy (Thai phrase used to mean clean, put together, and fresh) clothing for teaching. The two skirts I have bought can be worn also as a dress so I’ll hopefully get more use out of them when I’m back in the states. We took a sawng tao back to Pla Pak in the afternoon and then stopped at the fresh market that is in town every night to get some dinner. I got a feast for 25 Baht which is less then 1 US dollar! My dinner included meat on a stick (2 pork, 1 chicken), fried rice, and fried bananas (my new favorite thing!). The food here is SO good, I don’t know how I’m not going to gain weight! Hahaha
