yesterday anne and i were supposed to go rock climbing. we found out 30 minutes after the bus was supposed to pick us up that it had been cancelled. because not enough people signed up. oh well. that's 600 baht we didn't have to spend. and a day of sore muscles. so we went in to town. we went to a cafe called "True Coffee" or something. it was very cute. we got crepes. you wouldn't expect to find crepes in Thailand, but they're here. then we went to elephant village. i know i said i wouldn't go.. but i just went to look. they tried to get us to ride the elephants. we refused. they thought we wouldn't do it cause we were scared. kept saying, "it is safe, you are buckled in." i said, "no.. that's not why.." but she didn't understand. so anne and i just walked around elephant village and it was kind of depressing. all these elephants chained up, poo everywhere, stupid kids taunting the animals. i dunno. it wasn't great.
so then we went back to VIP. and then to the pool. and we didn't swim because the water was too cold so we just sat off to the side and talked and talked. and then we went to ninos and tried to use the internet but it wasn't working. so we left and i decided to swim after that. anne and i swam laps and really got a good workout. we tried to hold our breath as long as we could and i felt really weird the rest of the night. my lungs felt funny. we had an awkward conversation with a thai guy who couldn't really speak english at all. and then we went back to the room, which was getting cleaned by some ladies that nino knew. so now our room is spic and span. no more dirty carpet.
and then we got ready and we went in to town with Jamie and Nisa to get thai massages. oh my god. an hour long massage is only 200 baht. that's like.. $5. incredible. best massage ever. you feel really drowsy afterwards, but it's great. and they give you this great tea before and after the massage. it's the best tea i've ever had. it's made by boiling ginger, i think. so after the massages, we stumbled around the night market, bought fruit, and went home. anne, jamie, and i ate at ninos and watched as anne got hit on by a total creepazoid who wants to buy her armani perfume.
i went back to the room and watched nip/tuck and ate popcorn that my mom sent me from st.louis. and that's that.
on friday.. i slept till 4:30pm. i really don't know how i did it. it was insane. and then we went to jamie's 2nd muay thai fight. he won, but got hurt. he has a bruised eye. and he's sore. the guy knee'd him one too many times.
