Today's activity:
11 km hike plus 306 steps up to Wat Doi Suthep (exhausting! but so worth it.)
This was my first experience in a Buddhist temple. The wat (temple) was pretty much what I had imagined it to look like: gold, ornate designs and many statues of Buddha. I got blessed by a monk, too! Outside the temple there were many vendors (selling food, t-shirts, figurines, etc.). I bought a banana surrounded by waffle on a stick! So delicious.
My days have been pretty much packed with outings and activities, and this is the first day I have actually taken some time off to nap. Tomorrow is my first day of classes, which should be nice. It'll be interesting to incorporate some structure into my days here. Tonight, I'm off to the famous Sunday market! I'm ready for some shopping galore!
My new found favorite food: mango sticky rice
