My internet stopped working for a while, and then I got lazy, so now I have too much to write.

Oh well. I'll do my best. Although my head keeps hurting whenever I lay down or sit up right now. (Am I really that sedentary? It's weird.)

Saturday was rather eventful. First thing in the morning I had breakfast (oh my). But at like 10:30 or so Mickmee's friend, Bi, came and took me and Mickmee away~ (Well, her parents were driving.) We went to this place called Pimai.

As it says, it's a "historical park." Mostly it was these ruins that were like 1000 years old or something. They were prettty gorgeous.

Yay gorgeous stone work!

Yay me?

We spent like an hour there, wandering around and taking pictures and stuff. Climbing places we weren't really supposed to be. :];;

Then we went to this other place, the Banyan Tree.

The banyan tree is a tree. A golden fig tree, I guess? The thing is… it’s enormous. And like, I don’t mean it’s got a huge trunk or something, I mean that the branches are spread super far. Like the sign says, its branches span more than 35,000 square feet.

This is some of it. A small part. The tree creates a sort of canopy everywhere.

On our way out there was a guy selling musical instruments, who started talking to us, and eventually was like “I’ll give you a 10 minute lesson, and then you’ll be able to play this.” (The instrument—I asked later—is apparently called something pronounced like “saw”)

He roped us into doing it… and then eventually he even got both me and Bi to buy one. I kind of sucked at playing it, though. Mickmee, the one who didn't buy one, was probably the best.

After that we went and ate (of course) some som tum and noodles, then we all went home.

That evening we had a going away party for Mickmee, which was sort of a welcoming party for me too. At like 6 or something Mama Sea, Mickmee, Pi Lung, Pi Nen, Pi Mim, and Pi Dao (our housekeeper), Peter and I all went over to a seafood restaurant 10 minutes away. We went to a big private room there, and soon other people showed up too. The food there was so-so. It was tasty, but a lot of the dishes were things I don’t especially love. Once some people had finished eaten, they started… karaoke. I’m not going to lie, Thai people singing karaoke in English… it’s funny. Go do karaoke with some Thai people in Thailand some day. It’ll be fun. Anyway, after like half an hour of that, they had me and Mickmee get on stage, and then they passed the mic around and had everybody wish us both luck and stuff.

Me and Mickmee on stage with my host cousin. She’s cute, but I think she’s a little evil, to be honest, hahaha. Not particularly evil in a bad way, though.

Anyway, after that was nice and done with, the karaoke continued. They even got me to sing a couple songs in English, which was amazing—since I can’t actually sing. (So usually I don’t.) Then I just sat with Peter at the computer controlling the karaoke and stuff for like hours, while Mickmee and Bi and occasionally Peter sang many, many Thai songs. I was so relieved when we left, since I was exhausted. I get tired easily here, especially at night, and I’d spent the whole morning walking around and stuff. By the end of the karaoke it was hard to keep my mouth shut for more than a second, I was yawning so much.

On Sunday we went to this place like 45 minutes away to go buy Thai silk stuff. For some reason Bi came too. Mickmee bought a whole bunch of stuff to bring to people in the US. Seriously, a lot. I tried to buy something too, but I was standing with Mama Sea and she was like “Oh, you want that, okay.” And so she took it and ended up paying for it. It’s really frustrating, because she’s spent so much money on me already, I can’t get her to let me spend my own money. Like, school uniform? I was like “No, I’m really supposed to be paying for this one. Like, I have the money.” And then we went and she bought it all. I think most of the uniform was pretty cheap, but the shoes weren’t particularly. I don’t really know what to do. I guess I’ll just have to try as hard as possible to make sure she doesn’t pay for other things of mine for the rest of while I’m here, and see what I can do about previous purchases in the future.

After Mickmee had figured out what she wanted, Mama Sea went to go try on a shirt, and then pay for stuff, so we wandered off a little. They had silk looms in a building in back of the shop, with people making fabric on them. We went over and looked—it was pretty cool.

They also had really nice swinging bench things. I wanted one. A lot.

To be honest, I can’t even remember what I did on most of Monday, so obviously it wasn’t super exciting. I suspect I sat around all day. I’m pretty sure for dinner we went to this restaurant and sat outside, and then across the street there was a huge ad for Yamaha motorbikes—featuring Golf & Mike~ I was staring at it for a while, and then Mickmee was like “Do you know who they are?” and I was like “I think I do, but I’m not sure. What are their names” and she was like “Golf and Mike” and I was like “Yeahhh, I thought so, but I wasn’t sure!” Oh, also, Monday night my internet stopped working. YAY. YAYAYAYAYAY. I was supposed to go home and talk to my parents that evening online and it STOPPED WORKING. YAYYYYYYYYYY.

Tuesday was exciting. I had to wake up at like 7, but at like 8:30 Me, Mickmee, and my host father went off to my school! When we first got there we were a little early or something? I have no idea. But first we just walked over to this place outside, with a guy on a phone and... a not-Thai girl sitting at a table! This was Alex. She is from Cadillac, Michigan. Anyway, after a minute we all walked over to this conference room thing in another building, and in there were the two other exchange students (Rianna and Mauricio) plus a few rotary people. A bit after us, our school councelor and the vice-director person of the school came in and talked to us a little about possible classes and had us write down what sounded good, and then we got to eat some things that had been made at school. They were yummy.

After that was over, we all went to the bank so that the other kids could open their emergency funds, and a couple of them also opened personal bank accounts. Then all the rotary kids, along with Mickmee and Peter, went to "The Mall".

Apparently they have a sort of aquarium thing going on there, because I saw those fish I hate. (They have them at the Berlin aquarium, and that place in Qingdao.) They're so ugly and creepy and ughhh. For lunch I had like... pad thai inside egg. It was a little odd. But it wasn't bad. After lunch we wandered a bit, and eventually we ended up in the arcade/fair room of "The Mall."

We went on this ride that took us over the room, and over the pool area outside.

Wednesday me and other rotary kids went to the zoo! All the animals are pretty far apart, and Rianna's host mother owns a place that rents them, so... we all got bicycles... except I can't ride a bike, so Rianna's host mom decided that Mauricio should get a tandem and I should ride on the back. Hmm... Apparently Mauricio's not great on a bike in the first place, and this tandem was like... impossible. Yeah. We sooooort of managed one trip over to some an imals. Monkeys first, and then we walked over to lots of snakes and things.

I got to hold a snake!! I like snakes. I want one. Get me one for my birthday, somebody. (Perhaps when I get back, though. Also, get me a maid to feed it and stuff.)

Then we moved on to alligators... bears...

The bears were cute.

We ended up hanging out on some swings near the bears.

In fact, we spent like 2 hours sitting there. (Wary of another person taking pictures of the scary North Americans. Yes, that happened earlier that day.)

When we finally got up we went and returned the bikes, and then walked over to the zoo's water park.

It had an enormous gorilla!

Rianna and Alex felt all awkward because they were wearing bikinis. All the girls there were wearing one pieces with skirts. (I should have worn mine, haha. Oh well.) Once we got in, this lifeguard whistled at us and gestured to his head. We needed swimcaps. Ew. It gave me a headache.

We only stayed there for like 45 minutes, and then we headed back.

On the way we saw a bunch of people in animal suits. They were dancing to Low. Most of them were just bobbing around, but... the green one was totally into it. Green knew what the song was about. It was totally shaking its ass and stuff. By the way, what animal is that supposed to be. Green...?

When I got home that evening, Pi Lung let me in, and Mama Sea came downstairs and was like "Mickmee got into an accident!" And I was like "o.o Oh my god, really? Is she okay?" Mama Sea took me upstairs and into her room (!-- Thai people seem to be very private about their bedrooms. I'd never even seen into it before.) and Mickmee was sitting on a chair there, with lots of bandages and stuff. She'd gotten in a motorcylce accident, but luckily all her wounds were outside. She has bad scrape things on her hands, knees, chin, and a couple other places. But she still limps and they hurt a lot. I ended up sitting there for a while, and then me and Mama Sea went and bought take-out for dinner.

We also went to the bakery to buy breakfast things and stuff, which is where we saw these panda bun things. We actually bought one, but somebody else ate it. (tear tear) I'll have to get one for myself sometime.

Thursday morning I had home made jok! (The packaged stuff is better. Heh...) That is about everything important about Thursday.

Friday was hardly more exciting. Pi Mim went and showed me how to get to school on a songthaew. Yep.

I don't really know what this stuff is, but it was freaking delicious. Me and Mickmee devoured it last night.

So far today... I haven't done a thing. I should probably go hang out downstairs in a bit, though. Shmmmheeegghhh. (My thoughts on getting up.)

Two posts today? Oh boy.

I think I can truly say, if nothing else, that I eat damn well here. Like... yum.

Although, along with all the normal deliciousness, I've been good about trying everything. I think I've turned down one thing so far, and that was because I just wasn't hungry, not because I didn't want to eat it. (Plus, it was some delicious looking fried dough thing, I really just wasn't hungry. Don't fault me for that.) Because of that, I've now eaten a fair amount of squid (which, to be honest, I don't really like, but I've just ignored that fact for now), and... jellied chicken blood? I think that's what it was. There was a cube of it in some soup I had, and I was like "Hey Mickmee, what is this~?" and she was like "Um... dictionary." She pointed to blood. I tried some, you know, and I didn't really think it tasted particularly good. I left most of it in the bowl, haha.

Just now at dinner, I was happily going along eating some of the ground pork dish, and there were some larger pieces of meat in it too, so I ate one of it, and I was like "Hmm, that doesn't taste like I was expecting..." and Mickmee must have seen me eat it, because she grabbed the dictionary and was like "That is this." Liver. Ah well, it was okay.

Today, after I finished writing before, I went down and chilled out in the shop for a bit. My host cousin (Her name is Fan? Fun maybe? Fun is better, I think), came over a bit after I came down, and disappeared off somewhere into the house. A few minutes later Mama Sea was like "Mickmee cut hair. Watch?" And I was thinking "Watch Mickmee cut her hair... But Mickmee's hair is already nicely cut." But we walked into the house entrance area, and Mickmee was all cutting Fun's hair~ I think she did a pretty good job. It looked nice, at least. Soon enough the shop was all closed, and Fun's hair was all cut, and stuff... so I, Mickmee, Mamasea, and Fun all went to dinner. We went to this place that seemed kind of fancy. The Thai name is um... prik dang or something? It means red pepper. The outside was quite gorgeous, and inside it was nice too. (The food was also tasty.)

Blurry picture of the pretty fountain outside.

This time none of us ordered personal dishes, but instead all shared a bunch. I got some coconut smoothie deliciousness to drink:

One of the things we had to eat were morning glory greens with squid. The morning glory was like... coated and fried... and totally delicious. As I previously mentioned, I am not a huge fan of squid, but I ate what appeared on my plate. (Not even kidding with the appeared part. People kept spooning food onto my plate for me. I guess I seem pretty helpless.) Among many others, we also had this sea bass:

Crap picture, but this fish was really beautiful. You'll have to trust me on that one.

Mickmee got a watermelon smoothie thing.

After eating we just all went home~ c:

These, by the way, are delish:

They kinda taste like those lime flavored tortilla chips.

Today I almost cried when I saw one of the many stray dogs hobbling accross a street. It had three legs.

6 days here now.

Or something like that.

So, I officially have to start taking more than one shower every day, because I've grossed my family out sufficiently by taking only one.

And I officially dislike having to meet and speak to new adults in Thailand. It's hard, and they expect more from me than anyone younger does, but I'll just work on it I guess. Once I'm comfortable with the adult I'm okay. Kids are still cool, they'll just laugh at me and go on with life. Yay!


Tuesday I went to some thing that was teaching outbounds going to America how to cook some Thai dishes. I was planning on helping, but I didn't know how to ask if I could, and nobody set me to doing anything ever, so I kind of just awkwardly stood there. I did get to eat yummy Thai food then, though. Also, I guess I have to start eating more, because then maybe people will stop asking me if I'm hungry all the time and offering food to me. There I also drank some Thai iced tea in a bag.



At first I was pretty awkward with the girls there, for a number of reasons I guess, but we're all rotary exchange students, which means we're all nice kids. :'D So soon enough we were figuring out how to communicate anyway, and it was fun.

The group, minus Pat, who didn't want to be in the picture. haha
(Bad lighting. D: )

The middle is my host sister, Mickmee! On the left is um... Pe? Haha, I am not sure of her name. Her first choice for exchange was Germany, but she got the US. On the right is Cartoon (fantastic, yes?). Initially, when I was sent information about who my first host family was, they messed up, and told me the wrong family. That wrong family was Cartoon's family! They may still be my second host family, but I'm not sure. Not in the picture is Pat, who was in Michigan last year, and is now back.

When we went back home, Cartoon came with (apparently she takes dance classes somewhere near here) and I hung out with her, Mickmee, and Mama Sea for a little bit.

Later we had dinner at The Mall. I had seafood fried rice, and, as always, along with our own dishes, a couple more were gotten along side. This time we had som tum and some soup, I can't remember what kind now.

Som tum: shredded papaya salad stuff. Kind of spicey, pretty tasty. They take everything and pound it in a big morter and pestle thing.

Yesterday I didn't do much all morning, but at like 2 Mickmee took me to buy school supplies, and then ended up making me get more junk food, too. (They're really working to keep me fat?) One of the things we got was Choki Choki, which is like... tubes of chocolate paste stuff. It sounds weird, but damn, IT'S FANTASTIC.



Then at like 6 we went out again. First we went and got me my school uniformmm! Wooooo! It is a plain white blouse and a black skirt... not very interesting. The black skirt will probably be handy to have in the future, though, to be honest. Alsooooo, part of my uniform: Heels. They're not particularly high, but they're heels, for sure.


After getting my uniform we went off to The Mall for dinner. It seems like the standard here is: eat at home for lunch (well, nobody can leave the shop alone for too long), and then go out somewhere for dinner. I mean, the housekeeper cooks lunch and all, and she leaves at like 5, so... yeah. Anyway, we went to this place "Black Canyon Coffee House" for dinner. They served both western food stuff, and also Thai food. I got pad thai and tamarind juice. Not bad. I'm not a huge fan of the tiny little shrimp with their shells still on, though. There were also other dishes there, of course.

Mama Sea enjoying her food.


I think Mickmee is totally gorgeous, but she sure does pose funny.

After eating, we headed off to buy stuff for Mickmee for the year. Makeup and stuff. She really likes this Japanese makeup brand... and the model for that brand right now is Mika Nakashima! <3>
One side.

The other side. That's a large picture of my host mother in Australia. And Aladdin sheets. (Yess.)

So far today only one thing of real interest has happened. Like, I woke up, ate breakfast (today they were Chinese bun things-- my family is of Chinese descent), sat around in the shop for a while, and ate a yummy lunch with Mama Sea. Howeverrrr, a little before lunch, the rotary youth exchange coordinator, I don't know how to write his nickname so I'll call him Kittisak, called and was like "You have to go to the bank and sign one more thing." So Pi Lung took me there... on her motor bike! (!) (!!) I know I shouldn't be so excited, but riding on the back of a motor bike for the first time on the left side of the road in Thailand felt pretty exciting, man. Anyway, since then I haven't done much today. In fact, I've sort of just sat in my room for some of it. Bad stuff. Once I'm done writing this I'll go back downstairs.

Fun fact:

Round these parts we get house lizards. They are tiny, and crawl around at night. Plus, they are cute. This glorious specimen was about 1.5 - 2 inches, tip to tail.

Some things to mention.

• I have a Thai name! It's pronounced like Soh-pah! :'D; It means beautiful girl, though. (Although I get narak [cute] a lot more than soi [beautiful].)
  
• I mean, honestly, I seem to be "the cute white girl." You know, that's fine with me.
• THEY DRIVE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD HEREEEEE. THIS ISN'T ENGLAND, GUYS, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
• I swear I had more things to say, but now I can't remember them.
  

My internet failed last night, when I wanted to post this.

I woke up kind of early today. Yuck. But a bit after I woke up Mama Sea came in and was like "breakfast?" and I was like "sure." I had this:



It was like... pork rice porridge? I don't know, but it was pretty damn good. I think it's called "joke."

After breakfast I went down with Mama Sea to the gold store, and I ended up spending most of the day there. First thing she introduced me to the three girls who work there. After that she sort of gave me a tour, and like showed me what was being sold, haha. She told me about the price of gold and showed me a few of the things there like "This necklace is ---- baht [unit of measurement, actually], and costs ---- baht. This bracelet is ---- baht, and costs ---- baht." I thought it was a kind of funny. :];

The girls who work at the shop. Pi Mim, Pi Nen, and Pi Lung. (Well, that is my approximation of their names. I have no clue how to spell them.)

I spent like 5 or 6 hours today just sitting in the shop, sort of talking to people, sorttttttt of communicating with the shopgirls, and kind of being fed fruit. I tried guava, longan, and a couple fruits I never got the name of. Longan are like... lychees that aren't quite as good, haha. I also had some pinapple.

There were a bunch of people that came in and out all day. Some were there to buy jewelry, some seemed like they were friends, and there were plenty of people whose visits seemed extremely mysterious. Sometime in the middle of the day, it happened to be when Mama Sea was out of the room, a woman came in selling some drink-- it seemed like the shopgirls regularly bought some from her. This time, they bought me some too~ I was just sitting there, watching what was going on, and then one of them handed me some, and I was like "Oh! Khap kun kha!"

It turned out to be some orange-yogurt drink. Not bad.

Also at some point I had some chicken and rice dish for lunch. I ate with Pi Mim, Mickmee, and Pi Tao (who, by the way, is like our maid, which we have apparently.) Thai people really do eat with a spoon and fork, so I just went with it and followed along. I guess I must have not looked happy, trying to figure out how to eat with those utensils (although it does actually make sense, I think. Fork/spoon is not a bad idea,) because she was like "I think... you don't like it?" and I was like "Oh, no, I do! :o"

At like 5 or so Thai-kid-I-met-on-cultures-shocked, Peter (well, he's called Pii or something in Thai, but that wouldn't have worked out so well in the US, so...), came in, and then a couple minutes later Mickmee was like "I'll show you the department store." This department store is about 3 feet from our side door. We were looking around a book store when Peter appeared! So after that we went to another book store, and they were like "We are trying to see if there are books in English for you." and I was like "Oh, thanks, I did actually bring some, though." After that we went down to this food court area with seating, and... like... sat around for a while. I've really been speaking too much English. Must stop. At some point we got up and went over to this hot pot restaurant that was right outside the department store, on the other side from the house. I've never eaten hot pot like that before, so I was pretty much lost, and had to be annoyingly dependant on other people to show me what to do. That's one of the things that bugs me the most at this point: how extremely dependant on other people I have to be, constantly. But it was yummy all the same. They kept being like "eat more, eat more!" and my host father (... Pu Tao?) kept putting stuff on my plate and telling me to try it. I did, of course. And it was all good, of course. But by the end of that I was like "I don't want all that food! Really! I'm eating enough! It's okay!"

Once everybody was done, me, Mama Sea, and Mickmee went back to a supermarket in the department store and bought some things-- including more junk food they bought for me, even though I said I didn't need it at all. Are they trying to fatten me up or something? Hahaha. I commented on how I'd never seen this candy before.

Turns out it's Swiss or something.

Mama Sea came to say goodnight to me tonight, and hugged me, and it made me kind of happy, hahaha. I think they must think I don't like too much physical contact or something, because I always feel a little awkward at this point, but I guess I should stop, because I love hugs! :'D

I MADE IT!

Wow.

Sooo, Friday morning me and my mom got up at 4 am, and were out the door by 5 for my 7 o'clock flight. We were checking in at like 5:30, and all of a sudden the machine was like "It is too late to check in for this flight." And we were like "lolwut?" And this guy who worked there came over and was like "No, that flight is at 6. You'll have to go over to the help desk." And we were like "lolwut?" But we went, and the line took forever, but finally when we got there the woman was like "Nah, you can make it." Both my suitcases were 2.5 lbs over the weight limit (exactly) but she was like "I don't have time to deal with this, your suitcases are over the weight limit, don't do that again," and she let them go. So then me and my mother pretty much jogged over to the security thing, and my mom asked the person guiding people to lines "Hey, her flight is boarding now, can you help her?" and the woman was like "Sigh... yeah, okay." and my mom veryyyyyy hurriedly gave me a hug and kiss, but I had to run off and go through security, so that ended up being an oftly crappy goodbye. Haha.

Once I got through security I speed walked to my gate, which was a couple minutes away. When I got there everyone had boarded, but I was okay. It was a tiny plane, and my seat was the second row, so I was actually the only one in that row, but before we started taxiing the flight attendant was like "We need three volunteers from the first three rows to move to the back of the plane-- it's imbalanced." Two men got up, and went back, and then nobody else did. So I was just like "whatever, I'll go, give me a second," and I ended up sitting way back. That was an uneventful flight.

I got to DC at like 6:35 (dude, it's close, and that pilot was pretty fast.) And walked over to the gate the flight attendant had said my flight to Tokyo would be. Anddd I was the first one there. I got out my laptop, plugged it in to this cool plug thing, and tried to use the airport wi-fi, but it wasn't working, even though it was connecting. I was just about to turn it off when TA-DA, a Rotary kid showed up! Her name was Emma. After a couple more kids came, Helen, Jay, Elizabeth, Maia, some of us went off and bought smoothies... then a little later I went with Emma and bought a pretzel at auntie anns. I was like "Hmm, last pretzel for a while. Yum." Then more kids came, and stuff, and we waited for a very long time. Eventually other people who were on the flight came. Then we waited. Then finally we boarded, and at first it looked like I was going to get the seat next to me, too, but then some guy sat next to me. He was like "Haha, did I ruin your fun?" and I was like "Hahaha, yes." He was an opera singer headed for Seoul. Anyway, the flight was kind of dreadful. It was super long and my muscles kept all hurting and stuff. Plus, the movies sucked and I could never seem to catch the beginning of one. Blah.

Hanging out in Narita for a couple hours was fun, though. I got a type of pretz that I'd never seen before, and I ate some green tea kit kats (yummmm), and I went to McDonalds with a couple other people. At McDonalds I got Shaka Shaka Chicken, which I don't believe you can get in the US. It's a piece of chicken that comes in a little paper bag with a packet of seasoning, and you put the seasoning in and shake it around until the chicken is nicely seasoned. Season season season. While we were at Narita, a couple more rotary kids joined up with us, coming from California.

On the plane to Bangkok I was sitting next to a couple of kids that were like 10 years old or so, and about as annoying as 10 year olds tend to be, but they ended up just falling asleep about 10 minutes after the plane took off, and then staying that way pretty much the entire time. I slept pretty well too, because my window seat didn't really have a window, so the wall was close to the seat, and much more comfortable than usual. I ended up missing dinner because I slept through it by accident, which was a little annoying, but then I wasn't terribly hungry, so it was okay. I slept like 3 hours, and watched like most of 17 Again without sound. I could have had sound, I just didn't bother. And I listened to my iPod for most of the rest of the time on the plane.

Once we disembarked, things went pretty smoothly. We all got through customs without mishap. I had an almost impossible time hearing the woman through her face mask, and I felt really bad, but it wasn't really a problem. I got two guys to help me grab my huuuuge suitcases from the belt-- they both came out within 5 minutes of me getting there, and then I managed to sort of drag them to the place where the many host families were standing. My host family (Mama Sea, Mickmee, and my father whose name I can not think how to transliterate. I will figure that one out at a later time.) and my councelor were there to pick me up, and then we all drove back to Korat in a van. After the 2 1/2 hour drive we arrived at my brand new home! It's mostly above their gold store, but other than the ground floor (which is really just an entrance hall place) there are three more floors. My room is on the top floor, and shaped pretty oddly because it is above the store! Which also means that my windows look out onto the street, which is kind of nice. It's a good thing I'm not my mom, though, because there are tons of things that drive by and make a ton of noise all the time, and this greatly increases in the morning. It would make her miserable. It doesn't really bother me, though.

This morning I woke up at like 9, and just chilled out in my room until like 1:30 or something, at which point Mama Sea and Mickmee came to wake me up/check on me/whatever. Since I was all up and dressed and stuff they asked me if I was hungry, which I kind of was, and I had some crazy hot dog wrapped in dough thing (a la pretzel dog, or bagel dog) which had plenty of mayo on it. (At this point I was very glad that I was not one of the many people I know who hate mayo.) I guess the other two had already eaten, since I was the only one who had anything, and then once I was done Mickmee went over to this mall that's a bit away (but first I got the internet password from her!). Mama sea went to go take a shower and told me that in a couple hours (at like 4) we'd head over to the mall, and eat dinner there with Mickmee. We ended up doing that, and also eating with my host cousin, and aunt. (By the way, this mall was freaking huge. Hugeeeee.)We ate at this American steak house place, Sizzler, which was pretty silly, but it was still nice. While I was there I got to meet the Thai kid I'd met online, who is good friends with Mickmee. He is taller than I thought, haha. Once we'd chilled out at the restaurant for a sufficient amount of time, we went to a supermarket (which was a big supermarket!) and they tried to get me to buy snacks and stuff for myself. I was like "You don't need to buy me junk food. Really. owo;" but they wanted me to, so I got some chips and some intriguing sweets.

- Mama sea interjects to say good night. :'D -

After that we just went home, and I went on the computer, and took a shower, and went back on the computer, and wrote this, and stufffff. c: And soon I'll be going to sleep~ Hurrah.
