We went on a boat tour today, which was a bit long, but enjoyable. We got to feed some fish, which were HUGE and kept jumping out of the water. While we were waiting for Pem to return from the bathroom, two girls came up to me and asked to take a picture with me...? I smiled and, of course, agreed. I figured they MUST have been inspired by my natural beauty and poise and wanted to capture it on film. Rebecca informed me it was because of my white skin--the one damn time my paleness is appreciated!--and light hair (eh, either way). It took me a minute or so to realize-uh, duh--I look DIFFERENT, perhaps even out of place--here, and it was kind of neat!
I don't ever want to set foot in another unventilated market again--it was about 400 degrees in the shade and super crowded. I ate some tiny fried fish and a plate of Pad Thai (of course) and we left for home.
After an hour or so of some dumb computer game I downloaded to entertain myself, we went off to the night market (MUCH better) with Johnson and Oil. I ate some french fries (My potato intake level has been extremely low here, so I'll need to refuel at home). Went to bed, woke up, and now it's time for a shower, breakfast, and shopping! All things I LOVE, hooray!
