I'm thinking of spending the rest of my month here painting.
I'm getting more used to the idea of being on my own more. Of course by saying 'on my own' I'm not really on my own at all. I will definitely be cared for by someone- although it won't be my family much anymore. I've been rather surprised lately by people's generosity. There are a lot of nice people out there.
I've been away from home for almost 2 weeks and it felt really good. I like Thailand. I spent last week in Baan Jai Deow... one of the ministries for university students. There was pretty much only one farang working there. It's good to see Thais lead. It doesn't happen as often up here in Chiang Rai.
I'm kind of ashamed by how bad my Thai has gotten. For someone who has grown up here, I should be a lot better. I like to blame it on my going to an international school ... and that is a huge part of the reason... but I probably could have worked harder if I really tried. It's been coming out easier though as I make more friends here and speak more Thai.
In Bangkok, there were two bunnies... I mean, two people dressed up in big bunny outfits. Some kind of lame cutesy advertising. I like being mean to people dressed up in costumes but the guy I was with mistook it for me wanting to take a picture with the big pink bunny. The big pink bunny was very interested in having it's arms around the girls... and then I see someone lift up the head peice... there is a big bearded guy inside. Not funny. Not quite what I pictured to be inside a cutesy pink bunny.

Actually Janel, I find it quite amusing about the bunnies err weird men in bunnny suits. HAHA. Who did you think worked inside them? My dreads have gotten pretty sloppy because I dont have wax. I need wax to keep up with them. I looked everywhere and the only place that has it was closed the day I was in Chiang Mai. Poo. Jon is sending me some though so thats good. but for now they are a bit unkept, but in a week or so things will be better.
good lesson to learn
