To the end of my time here. I'm currently in my guest house's lobby because my power adapter is completely done. There will be no more pictures on here until my return next week.
I can't believe that my time here is almost done. I feel like I haven't even begun to learn what I want to learn and that I would need to stay here for months more to do so. I ran into one of the Pauls last night and we talked about studying with Pichette some more and his school. I want to do both and am going to check out the weekends at the school in Chicago and hopefully come back to study with Pichette. I'm just really hungry to learn this right now.
When I first started doing massage I never did continuing education and was just ok getting by with what I had learned in school. Now I feel like I need to get better, to expand my knowledge and become more than a therapist who gets by on deep tissue and Swedish alone. I really love Thai massage and want to learn as much about it as I possibly can.
This new drive is really going to get expensive.
It's getting pretty hot here. It was a little above 100 the other day and the rest of them while I'm here are supposed to be right around 100. I want to go to the zoo on Sunday before I leave but it might be too hot unless I go really early. They have pandas, though.
I'm taking a cooking class on Saturday and still need to go to the Saturday night market and the market in front of the mall tonight. This weekend is going to be busy until I get to the airport.
Last night a few of us had girls night. We ate dinner at the Blue Diamond, which is this super delicious vegetarian friends restaurant, located on Soi 9 off of the main road around the old city. It doubles as a restaurant and bakery and specializes in vegetarian Thai food, although everyone recommended the salads. Most of us got sandwiches because they had avacado, which is hard to come by, and they bake their own bread. I also ordered a papaya salad, which I've grown to really love while here. I was never a fan of papaya but these salads...they're spicy and sweet and just so delicious.
We had a lovely dinner and then walked to the bowling ally. Bowling. In Thailand. It's definitely something I never thought I would do. But we had such a great time. I bowled a 158, 145 and 135. I get tired by the third game. I also did something funny to my leg on my very first turn. The power of sleep and stretching seems to have fixed it.
My taxi to school will be here in a second. I hate not having my computer.
