RECAP #1

Once all the teachers checked into the hotel a few of us went to explore the city. 

  Leaving dock, headed to Asia Tique. (typical touristy shot, had to get one with a monk in it)

 When ever you wave at others on boats, they all wave back. Smile, they smile.

Such a great evening/night. 

Spontaneous Fish Spa. SUCH an experience and yes I would do it again. Imagine dozens and dozens of fish mouths sucking all the dead skin off your feet. 

Highlight of my night: watching Allison fight the urge to keep her feet in the water. SHE DID IT! Love this candid by the way, captures this lady's spirit. 

Clean feet, new skin is breathing.

Such a sucker for sunsets. This shot is one of several.... of the same thing.

As the sunset meets the horizon, the colors reflect off of the buildings, clouds and water... it is constantly changing as it falls... breathtaking.

 The area is similar to an outlet mall mixed with a european market square.

CHINA TOWN. There is one in every city.

Around 6 is when all the food venders come out. Take your pick. 

It's overwhelming actually.

 Kayla and I put our 'big girl' pants on and walked across the busy street of Chinatown. We needed to go to the seven eleven. My personal opinion, speaking from minor experience- wait until there are other pedestrians about to do the same thing and go with them. Like a school of fish herding together to escape the hungry shark. The streets of Bangkok are usually impossible to cross. That is why there are a lot of overpasses for pedestrians. What Kayla and I learned when crossing the street was, you just have to go. Refrain from yielding, just walk and don't stop.... of course with the other 'fish'.

Every where we looked there was a street vender, literally. We found a side street table to sit at and have a scrumptious meal.

My dinner was called a Mimosa...? It was Pork vegetables and rice. Very tasty. 

fried squid (of some sort)
