hey everyone
just returned from chiangrai yesterday
its was wonderful
never wanted to leave the place
the village people were just so nice and kind
leading simple lives of their own
they cook awesome meals
better than s'pore's homemade food
its true
thailand's very own homegrown rice
the usual table manners
we thanked the cooks before every meal
there's so many things i want to talk about
well
we went there for cip
but we did mostly road building
it was only for the guys
the girls had to go down the mountain to a kindergarden to teach
they're only 4-6 years old
and everyday for 8 days a group of three guys has to help teach at the kindergarden
=/
the last two days at the city was great
shop for clothes and shoes
i bought 6 pairs of clothes and jeans there
oh and not to forget bargaining
big mistake
dont remind me about it
need more tips about bargaining
lol
anw we went to watch casino royale at the malls there
the cinema was better than s'pore in terms of standards
they've got reclining seats
haha
the movie was not bad
three hours long
and junliang slept for about an hour
lol
one thing though
after the starting commercials just before the movie starts
everyone has to stand up to sing thailand's national anthem
interesting right
we were stunned at first as we didn't know there were such a rule
okay
the hotel wasn't bad too
half expected a television in it
jason went to buy a scary looking mask
and went around knocking on doors scaring people
so crap
but its quite a memorable experience
learnt quite a handful of things and made new friends
alright
shall post about the rest another day
slept for over fifteen hours ytd till this morning
feeling wide awake
tell me it didn't happen.tell me it wasn't true.
