My City is Better Than Yours.

My city has a temple. I bet your city doesn't have a temple.

Koreana and I decided to venture to the temple today after a wonderful sleep last night. We were both a little nervous about going to the temple, and we didn't hide it very well. As the silly Americans in Thailand, we can get away with most mistakes that we make. But we would prefer not to make the cultural mistakes. Going to the place of monks we knew there were plenty of opportunities for mistakes. Luckily for us, everything went well. We went to the temple, did everything correctly and took tons of photos. Well, we think we did everything correctly, and we are perfectly content with that. Below I have attached a video from the temple.

After our morning excursion we came back to the apartments with the intention of finishing our lesson plans. I got distracted. Instead, I worked on my snapfish photo book. And boy, that can be quite time consuming. I made very good progress and I hope to have it shipped home soon.

Tonight we went to the gym, had a great workout, and left to eat dinner on the way home. We were stopped by our friends at Games Toy. The funny thing about Games Toy, other than the name, are the owners, Apple and Naam. They constantly sit out front at a table drinking whiskey. Starting at around 3 pm everyday they are out there. We have heard through the grapevine that their rich daddy just bought them the store to keep them busy, and based on their work ethic, I believe it. We decided to stop and chat very briefly. Apple quickly jumped on his motorbike to go buy more whiskey for us. And Naam introduced us to the other people at the table. We met Please. And as she said, "My name is Please. Like pretty, pretty Please." Okay, easy enough. The buy sitting next to us said, "My name is Aid." Hmmm... we weren't sure if we had heard correctly. So he said, "My name s Aid. Like H- I- V." Hmmm... was he just spelling Hid? Or was he saying "h" at all. Wait. Wait. Aid? Like HIV. Oh. My. Word. That did not just happen. Koreana and I were both laughing hysterically. That was by far the best explanation of a name I have ever received. Aid, you win.
