Well bust my chops....

SO.....I was able to experience a little bit of the Thai culture at an outdoor/indoor/barely any doors market today. OH BOY. I just love food, I don't know how many people I've told THAT secret too, but it was just wonderful getting to take in all of the sights and smells, (yes, friends, even with my lack of a sense of smell I got in a few good whiffs), and really enjoy the FOOD. And oh, THERE IS FOOD! Sticky rice, pork on a stick, fresh pineapple! And oh so very CHEAP! I'm gonna be honest right now, I am not even gonna lie.....I'm drooling a little bit typing about it. AND.....I know with a lack of Starbucks at every corner, which here is replaced by a 7-11, I now have a new favorite! It's called Cha-Yen, which in Thai means Tea-Cold, or Cold Tea. Oh, it's amazing. They mix sugar, condensed milk, and red tea together, and shake it up with ice, and it tastes like heaven. Mine was gone within a minute. OH SWEET MOSES....I could have one every day.

I'm not feeling too jet-lagged, a little tired spurt here and there, but for the most part I'm doing great! God has been wonderful about it thus far....I know He's really helped my body to adjust. Praying for that to continue!

Fun fact.....there are miniature lizards EVERYWHERE....I'll find out the name again and post it, but they're so cute! All over the tops of the walls, but they eat mosquitoes so they're welcomed here. I'll get a picture and post it as well.

Thanks for keeping in touch! Take care, and good night Americans. ;)
