anyway, i finally found my way to Mission Hospital. Stayed there over night, and found my way to everyone else Thursday morning. The girls wanted to go shopping at a mall. We got as far as the food court. There was so much american food!!! We just spent the rest of the day there. They also saw a movie, while I hung out in the bookstore. I was so thrilled to be in a book store again. Oh, there was an anime show there, and I got to hang out there while they were in the movie as well. We ended the day back at the hotel, stuffed to the neck with wonderful american food. We were there during the vegetarian festival too, so we got so much vegetarian food. Like every third shop was selling it.

On Friday we got up and went to the Tiger Palace. That was incredibly awesome. I'm gonna try to post pictures of it too. Got to pet lots of tigers. It was so fun! We got to see the bridge over the river Kwai too. I visited a monument to chinese people that died there. On Sabbath, we went to an english church service. Then, since I couldn't get ahold of the people i wanted to hang out with, i spent the day with Phil, his friend Sam, and the girls, who also had no where to go. We got to go to a royal palace, which Rama V lived in for 5 years at the turn of the century. (20th) Truly cool. Loved that place

I felt this accursed cold coming on Saturday night, so i got pizza and went to bed early. the girls went shopping at a night market, and Phil went to a show with Sam.

Sunday, we went on a tour, where we were paid to speak english with some Thai people who wanted to help their english skills. they were really nice, and bought us lunch on top of paying us. I got some great green curry. We also got our pictures taken with Thai Captain Jack! He had all the manerisms down perfectly, and even spoke with his accent. it was awesome.

Whelp, that's about all. Great time though, hate sick. good night.
