Thailand Recap {Part II}
I have been fighting naps like a champ. Yesterday was the first day I felt like myself since my return, but today is not better so I'm hoping that this weekend will be my catch up moment where I can make it all day and sleep all night! Here's to hoping!
So in part 1, I told you all about the ministry we got to do at the schools. Part II is all about the fun!
Thailand is a unique country a couple fun facts about it:
- In Thailand, they love to eat, all the time and its spicy
- They also really love treats, ice cream, coffee, snacks, donuts ect (or they think Americans really love treats and just are overly nice to provide it)
- Thai people are shy at first kinda like coconuts, hard on the outside but soft on the inside
- Iced coffee is sweet as syrup and comes in a bag
- They don't cook because its cheaper to eat out...thats pretty awesome, even though I do love cooking.
- In Thailand its ok to pick your nose but its rude to pick your teeth...crazy right
- You can't go anywhere without seeing a photo of their King
- Movie theaters are way nicer and malls are a million stories
- Thai kids are the cutest, especially our favorite little mixed baby, Rooney!
- When in doubt wai (a bow with your hands )
- There are so many forms of transportation and Im pretty sure in a week we took them all.
Here are some of the fun things we did while we were in Thailand!
First things first: This team was the most fun! I am thankful for them and would not have chosen anyone else to go with me to the Land of Smiles!
So we had one free day where we took off to the Damnonesaduak Floating Market just outside Bangkok! After that we got to go to the big market mall to do our souvenir shopping and then we hit up Starbucks and a movie! This is one of those must dos if you ever go to Thailand. We got into boats and went shopping boat-side to vendors right off the water. It was fun and everyone had a blast!
Coconut pancakes and fresh coconut were a hit with the team. I still taste the yummy coconut pancakes as I write this! So Good!
