Monday night after we got back from the beach the BCC administration took us out for a going away dinner. Okay, it was definitely the most food I have eaten since I've been here. We went to The Grand Hyatt Hotel where they had a huge buffet of food from everywhere! I pigged out on some sushi, chicken in mushroom sauce stuff, and yummy desserts. My supervisor and head of the English Immersion Program is the sweet muslim lady standing in the back, Ajhan Fa. Ajhan is the Thai title like "teacher Allison." She's so sweet though, she's one of the many reasons I would love to come back to BCC. I have so many things that I want to write on here but I won't until everything is final. All I'm saying is me and Min are Bangkok bound HOPEFULLY :) AHHHH!
This would be a motorbike taxi...they are actually pretty dangerous to ride according to some people. We really just wanted to do it before we left...and it was way to fun! So Christin and I hop on the back of two bikes...we tried to ride with the cute guy but the other guys diverted us...boo. As soon as we hop on though, we start driving on this huge highway AGAINST traffic! Like, going the opposite way! I was gripping the back of my bike praying we got there okay, and everytime we would squeeze between two cars I would literally suck in like that was going to help me fit hahah. I don't know how they do it, they drive on sidewalks, drive between cars while driving at like 40 mph...its ri-donk-ulous! It was fun to see other parts of Bangkok though because we ride the BTS to work EVERYDAY, so we see the same things, I really enjoyed it. I've heard some pretty scarry stories of riding those, but we just wanted to get our fix and ride them once before we head out. Christin definitely sat sideways, like most Thai women do. No thank you, this big girl wanted to evenly distribute my weight on each side and not have two nobby knees hanging off the side to get whacked off by a car lol. 
Okay seriously, how cute is this picture? Christin and I fell asleep like this last night :) Like we both have our little hands folded under our face and everything...I laughed so hard when I saw our friend took this picture. Too funny :) I'm going to feel lost when I have my own huge bed by myself and I don't have Christin to talk to as I read and fall asleep...no homo haha. I love that we passed out fully clothed with our shoes on. We woke up late for our flight to Chang Rai this morning and it was just a disaster! We had to pack up, jump in a taxi, and RUN halfway to the airport cause they dropped us off earlier than they were suppose to! Thankfully we got there in time and Josh Wheeler's sweet mother picked us up from the airport. We're staying with them at their orphanage these next three or four days. She made us rice with scrambled eggs and dell sauce for breakfast...SO GOOD! I'm seriously going to learn how to cook all this when I get back (aka learning to cook rice).
