Happy to Be Here

I borrowed my parents’ laptop to upload some photos for you. My
smartphone has been acting as my computer but I had a lot of photos on
my camera not my phone. This morning my dad rented us a scooter to go to the Tiger Cave
Temple! I am sunburned from yesterday’s excursion to Ao nang beach so
I’m glad we had a morning excursion which left me free to hide my
crispy skin from the heat of the afternoon in an air-conditioned
bungalow.

I’m such a farang. Farang, btw, means foreigner. I can dig it. It
makes me feel like I’m in an episode of Star Trek! Tomorrow afternoon my stepmother and I will be attending a cooking
class where we will make 6 authentic Thai dishes for 1,000 baht each.
This culinary adventure includes transportation to and from our hotel.
I’m looking forward to riding in a little truck/taxi!

Here’s hoping the ‘breezy outdoor kitchen’ is, indeed, breezy. It
would be painful and embarrassing to pass out, face-first, in my wok
full of green curry. Food today:
- leftover pork skewers and a pork pao (bun)
- young coconut yogurt
- baked beans on toast
- pineapple shake
- store-bough bbq chicken and slightly curried noodles
- chocolate soymilk
…and I’m about to scrounge for supper in my parents’ fridge.

My flickr account is updated now! You can see photos of my trip here:
