Me, Myself and I in Thailand.

So cried a little when marni left the other day. I feel a little lonely.
It makes me miss everyone a lot ALOT more. But this experience will
be so good for me. I just have to get over this hump of lonelyness. I haven't
been on the computer more this entire trip in these last couple days. I wish
I could see everyong back at home.

The Intrepid Group--who I will be with when traveling to Laos, Cambodia and
Vietnam are nice! There are three Canadians including myself (woo!), two sisters
from England --who just left India, and a couple from Ireland who were traveling
in Australia and New Zealand. Everyone is very nice and easy to hang out with.
I am.. of course.. the youngest of the group. When i was walking down th street with
my room mate, Claire from Toronto, We were making small talk with a Thai guy
and mistook her as my mother! ahh! Horrifying for both of us.

We spent the night walking down Khap Khan Road ( I think thats what its called?)
and its party central. There were drunks everywhere. Unfortunately i didnt get the
chance to take a picture of this one open bar that had a huge sign: 45 baht for beer...
WE DONT CHECK ID!!! You look and see all these toppling over underaged kids.
It was rediculous. There were poeple that were giving people hair raps, dreads and
braides... and there were clothes and shops everywhere. I would have crapped myself
if i was along.. it was definitly a dangerous street. The Taxi drivers would yell PING PONG?
meaning they would take us to all the stripping clubs in town. Very funny.

We took an overnight train to Chiang Mai and we are crossing to border to Laos tomorw.
I am taking the day off to relax , read and write. Its a cloudy day.. but PERFECT for me.
The heat is just right... and no chance of burning!
