hokay so

i only have a week left and im so sad

anyways the way you eat in thailand is by the spoon in ur left hand and a fork in your right. you gather the food onto your spoon and then put the spoon in ur mouth...for every type of food possible. its itneresting.

i found a lot of black people on the street corner where they sold weave..smh

the weekend was fun i went out with the homies on thursday and stayed in on friday because i was so tired. then saturday we went shopping at two places. i bought a lot of jewelry at jj's so my souvenirs are done then we went to platinum which is a 6 story mall. the map of the place was a book with tabs and wa sthe largest mall i have ever been too. i left after three floors. i cant describe to you how close the stores were or how many cute clothes there were. too bad the mall was one size fits all and that size was a size double zero. i asked to see a skirt and the lady laughed at me! presumably bc it wouldnt fit....like that would never happen in america im not large! -_- whatever. i bought a cute dress but need to get it hemmed. we shall see. we ended up going out to khaosarn that night which was just as crazy as the first time.
we got drinks and people watched. some black men from kenya harrassed us and we ran. we went to one club and danced on stage then moved to the next. we shared a bucket and found some more people. a man followed me out of the club but thank god we all were together and were able to ward him off. there were thai gangsters in the club. they threw up gang signs. and essentially he was wearing a dickies outfit all in red and all so baggy. they were a little behind on the times, still wearing bandanas and things. twas comical. i ended up dance battling one of them and then we shook hands.

the next day we went to the floating market finally! it was literally amazing. for 6 dollars we took a boat ride and reeled in if there was any food or souvenirs that we see. i have a lot of pics but my friends bought hats that were like the triangle ones and when we got off the boat and had bought everything we were perusing on land. a baby elephant strolled up behind us and used his trunk to try and get food! it was adorable. i held its trunk and really bonded with him. sigh, he was rolling around and doing tricks and stuff. also when we went back home we also saw a baby elephant on our street just walking around lol. it was fab.

i think worked with lucy all day sunday on our project. we are trying to get a good case study about mental disability informed consent right to die ethics in america and thailand.

so a word on the elephants. im really sad the way people treat them because i love them so. i think its like unethical to have them and take them fromt eh jungle. but i just learned all the jungles are disappearing in thailand and that the elephants are slowly just starving. so i have changed my minds and am happy people take them in i just wish they were nicer to them. they are really so intelligent.

also more people in the world have their own pet tigers than there are in the wild. so they will be extinct soon. im happy i could touch a tiger even if it was a lil sedated :(.

remind me to tell you the story of our taxi getting stopped on the way back from the floaty market ;).
