Happy New Year
Well it's the second day of the new year...soo exciting. Yesterday was Saturday and I actually woke up EARLY! It was amazing, but I had plans, so I had to. The weather was kinda chilly, and last ngiht I slept wiht both my blankets and no Air Con, Maine must be FREEZING. So yesterday I headed out around 9 I was going to Siam Square ALL BY MYSELF I asked my host dad the night before how to get there by bus...So I went to the stop he told me to go, well I got on at the democracy monument which has tons of buss stops, so I got on at the first one. It didn't take long to get to SS. But it was on;y 9:30 and none of the stores were open untill 10 so I walked all over up an down the overpasses. Then I went into Asia Books to read magazines forawhile and ran into Maryn there early. So we sat reading for awhile on these little kid stools. Then we went to check out movie times for Bridget Jones. The first theater wasn't playing it untill 4:45 so We went to another one and bought tickets for the 12:15 showing. Then to another book store and were there for awhile. Then back to the movie place. The Movie theaters here are really nice. Comfy chairs that lean back, you pick your seats when you buy tickets, and good stadium...or what ever you want to call it. There were still tons of previews and commircles, but thai commircles are always funny. The movie finnaly started after we stood to pay respect to the king and one of his songs played. The movie wasn't bad...jsut as good as he first one I thought. We were laughing at the opening scene. The Thailand part was sorta interesting. Then we got food at Au Bon Plain. Back to Asia Books, I read another magazine and some others...I lost Maryn, but decided she had left to go home after I looked @ the store and it was close to 5. I bought a book, and got a free calender. Then went to the Loft (a store) didn't buy anything there then decided to hea home. I wasn't exacitly sure where to get back on the bus to go home. But then I saw my buss leaving towards the direction I wanted or thought I wanted to go and waited at the stop it passed..to late for me to catch it. Well one finally came, and I wasn't really sure of it's rout and where we were going because it didn't turn. So I jsut rode it because it Knew it was the right # and thought it would eventually go to my stop...well it went but stopped at the bus station where we had to get off...i wasn't sure what to do...I could call home, or take a taxi, but decided that another buss would be leaving and start a new loop and get me back where I needed to go...so that's what happened, after waiting on the bus for awhile waiting for it to leave. The bus got packed. I got off at Sanam Luang and walked home. Didn't do much else, had some dinner, e-mailed Maryn to see if she was ok. Went to bed really early actually.
Today I slept kinda late, went out to Tesseco Lotus with my hfam. Stocked up on Oatmeal and Frozen Peas which is like the only frozen vegetable they have here. Grocrie shopping isn't somthing they do over here like in America, alot of people go to markets, or eat out. Then we went to have lunch but it was really late lunch so it was almost dinner. But the dive was nice. I like riding in the car here, I wish I could do it more often. It's really strange almost because you have the road and placs along it with appartmests above in the middloe of nowhere almost, theres trees and grass in the back ground. Somthing a movie would show imagining a 3rd world country.
