Chinese New years!!!

So our bus was like sitting first class on an overseas flight, and it was only a 3 hour ride! I’m talking, our seats leaned all the way back with room to recline and prop your legs up, and they even served us a sweet roll and water! We are staying at the YMCA during our time here and I can’t wait. Tonight we got our room and went straight to the “Chaing Mai Saturday night walking market” which is pretty huge. I bought tons of fun junk then we went across the street to eat Mexican to celebrate Alyse’s birthday (since we’ll be flying on her bday) and Chinese New Years!! We all wore our little matching asian outfits…since that’s clearly the thing to do here (obviously Christin). Everyone walks in twos and always matches, its like you have to have a uniform for EVERYTHING. Anyways, this was probably the best Mexican food (and cheapest) out of the three times we’ve got to eat it here lol. We all had chicken fajitas and a drink and it cost us $7 MAYBE. Crazy huh? It’ll be hard to get use to paying $10 for a meal again in the states! After dinner we had our usual 30 cent McDonalds ice cream cone (I can’t figure out WHY I didn’t lose any weight!). So we have three people staying in a two person room, aka two single beds…and being the poor college kids that we are, we didn’t want to pay that extra $6 for an extra bed. So what I’m saying is…Christin and I being the large lovely white women that we are, are sharing a single bed somehow and its really not that bad hahaha. I mean lets be honest…we’ve had our beds pushed together the last two months, whats a few more nights. I’m going to feel so lost when we get back to Cleveland and I don’t have her one foot away, talking about what we’re reading and pondering life till we fall asleep. I’m not okay with this…I have to convince her to come back with me.
