Wow.
Global phenomenas are the quickest way to make friends. Harry Potter? Lord of the Rings? Twilight? Talk about a conversation starter.... especially when you are describing people as Voldemort (our lead professor) and Draco Malfoy (his side kick).
Thai kids have to be the craziest at making nicknames ever. My good friend, Nut, is known as Nut simply because her parents enjoy peanuts... Random.... Then most of our Thai class mates are given nicknames based on what they look like. (Nut, a little chubby, I guess looks like a peanut) One girl, Milk, is known as scream because her facial structure is literally the same as the scream mask. Another is known as Kerope (the frog that hangs out with hello kitty?) the nick names are random but, apparently, very important.
Tonight we went to the night market which is made for Thai people, not tourists. I bought sunglasses, a few pairs of earrings, a couple outfits, and the most delicious waffle I have ever eaten. Even better then the waffle place at Killington....
After the night market we took a tuk-tuk to the place we went to and went to the same place as last night and hung at a reggae bar for pretty much ever considering we didn't get there til 12 am. We danced to the Thai-version of Bob Marley, which is absolutely hilarious (anything done in English is hilarious simply because certain sounds and letters don't translate) but the Thai students are probably the most amazing people I have ever met.
After, we went to a bar literally five feet away and listened to some rock / punk-rock and I met a boy from Chelsea named Chris who got a full-ride for soccer at Northwestern for soccer, playing full-back. So far the final is a disappointment. near posts goal should never be the difference of a 1-0 though we left shortly after the goal so I have no idea about the score... we got back to the hotel/dorm and then just chilled for a while.
Wish I had something cool to say. tomorrow should be pretty legit.
