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.)

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.
