Woke up at 12:30, after tuna sandwich and chokolate milk took boat to China town, to buy some stuff before I leave to north. In the midway saw a very very nice temple and decided that i should see it. One the way back a nice local man started talking to me (I was surprised,here people don't just start talking like in India). He told he's going to teach english in budhist school nearby and would be very happy if i could help him, you know, someone that could speak in normal accent. On the way i started to think that it's a trick to get me robbed, but soon we arrive to the school. There were 7 students, 6 women and a young monk. They come every sunday to practice speaking english. It was a nice experience to "teach", they were very happy and asked alot of questions.
Afterwards i went to restaurant with the teacher and then visited his home. His wife , who runs hair salon gave me a "hairwash", which was more of massage with shampoo. It was nice. Relaxing.
I don't know who said that thai people are not nice. I think in a way they even nicer than indians. THey don't fuck your brain with questions like my name age and if i'm married or not. And when I ask for directions the point me to the right one or say that they don't know.. Indians just point somewhere, you need to ask at least 3 and go to the direction where most people pointed. The problem that most of people hardly know english, and those who know speak with terrible accent!
