I'll leave the update on our jungle trek to our own Crocodile Dundee, Kyle Burr. (UPDATE: As we speak, resident exaggerator Ben Mundel coming at you with his sensationalized version of our jungle trek.) Nonetheless, it actually ended up being an amazing adventure. The highlight for me: Pati, a member of the Karen tribe with whom we stayed, stumping the hell out of four Penn graduates with his stick logic puzzles. Ridic.
On to today though: pretty tame, but we got some much needed relaxation. We woke up late -- exhausted from our trek. I would like to take this time to comment on the French Toast being served at our hostel. Delectible! I will sorely miss this staple of my Chiang Mai experience.
We hit up our daily wat before grabbing some pizza and falling back into bed. After a quick dinner, we rolled to the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar which was uhhhhhmazing. So many legit deals and great buys. I got an authentic Liverpool jersey for $25...typically bought for $80 in the States. I also got a cool gift for my Mom (yo Ma, I got you a gift) and a neat tuk tuk made of a Thai Coke can. Hova. Ant and Kyle also picked up some nifty gear. A quick shoutout to all the women in Ben's life, including mothers, grandmothers, and Elizabeth: Ben is coming home loaded with gear for you. He's either a huge suck-up or actually a nice guy.
We're back now, ready for a 13 hour bus ride back to Bangkok. I think I may have convinced the boys to check out Transformers 2 in a Thai cinema, an experience that *apparently* goes unrivaled. I'm feelin it.
One,
Vas
P.S. Equally amazed at how quickly a bug can bite me and fly away. It all happens so quickly...
