The apartment is beautiful. The family dropped me off and i was really sad to leave them, but next weekend we are all going camping together, so i will get to see them again soon. Leaving my host familyw as like growing up 10 years in a day. I realized, since coming to Thailand i have been living in the mentality of a ten year old. My biggest responsiblities have been walking home from the bus stop alone, or doing the dishes, andplaying with my bros, and suddenly we were living with our peers, going grocery shopping, and going out to dance bars. In some ways it is like mvoing into a competley new city.
My roomates are so so so much fun, and i feel super close to them already. I can't wait for our adventure to come. The aparment is quite nice, as well. The floor is blue tile, there is a bathroom, two betrooms a sitting room and a balcony. Cody and Emma share one room, and erin and I share the one huge bed in the other. The balcondy looks out over the city of chaing mai (8th floor) and on huge blue and green mountinas, practically a stones throw away. On the top of one of the mountians we can see the temple of Doi Sutep that we hilked to last weekend. In the night, it is lit up ang glows like a golden castle. Because the moutinas are so dark and close, in the evenings the temple looks like a it is floating in the clouds.

ReplyDeleteWas it planned that you move into an apartment and away from your family? I'm wondering why you moved if you're still in Chiang Mai -
ReplyDeleteLove your stories - I'm so so proud of you!

Yeah. its totally planned. We just have too much intense homeowrk (the book work for the tfield courses is almost all front loaded in the city) and it give us a chance to be independent and explore the city. The last weekend i was in Chiange Mai before going to live with orgnaic farmers in the hills, was spent entirely with my family since i am so close to them. But there is no way i could keep up with all the homeowrk if i were still livign wiht them.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you!
