More Animals

Some updates from the last couple of days:
Indian food, cosmic bowling, Thai cartoon movie, dance club, walk across the city, move to our new home (the International Center), massage, lack of sleep, school

Since class has actually been held for the last few days (as opposed to our field trips at the beginning of the trip), the schooling part of the program has finally become apparent. The chaos and excitement has settled down, and we've actually started to read and study for class during our free time. However, we still manage to find fun adventures!

For instance, last night a group of us went on a night safari! The facility was very state-of-the-art (think Animal Kingdom at Disney World), and before the safari began, there was a water show on the man-made lake. I could've sworn I was watching Fantasmic (again, the Disney influence)! It was so impressive! The safari consisted of a tram ride throughout the park with stops at each animal's habitat. The driver shined a light on each animal, and the female Thai safari guide offered her best attempt at English commentary. Of course, we rude Americans had to poke fun at this. Oh, and I had my first encounter with the Thailand rain last night. It poured, but it felt so nice to be out of the heat for once.
