One Night in Bangkok...

Thursday was one of our more uneventful days of the trip. School has begun to settle into its normal groove, and the students are feeling much more comfortable with our presence. They still giggle and scatter when we walk near them, but most will talk with us, or at least say hi. After school our ride was over an hour late due to taking a monk to the temple (very important here...not exactly something to question), so Piak and I made due by playing a little modified soccer (it has an actual name, I forget it) with some students, then checking out a little guitar/sing-along section later. Thanks to Mark getting some pictures while we were playing!




We headed into Bangkok again last night so Mark could pick up some tailored shirts. Right across the street was an Italian Restaurant, so we decided to grab a bite. It was Gay and Piak's first experience with...it was quite the site.


Garlic bread with a spoon and fork...

The first bread stick!

Wow, that looked like pretty hard core soccer! No wonder you were sweating so much!

The "breadstick" Piak is holding doesn't even look like a real breadstick! It's so skinny!

And what a tiny piece of garlic bread! The portions weren't American-style at all!
