Week 6

Well, week six has come and gone, to all you Canadian people out there, i hope you had a fantastic thanksgiving and ate lots of turkey and ham for me... well more ham, I'm not a huge turkey fan, you can judge if you want. :) unfortunately we didn't have any celebration. Although there is one Canadian girl here and we wished each other a happy thanksgiving so that counts. Anyways.... This weeks topic was Church... although, to be honest, we didn't really learn much about church at all. It was more about how God chooses each of us, it was a message that most of the white people had heard, so we didn't feel like we learned a whole ton of a lot, but there were a bunch of Thai people who got a lot out of it, so that was a lot better.
This week was actually crazy busy, we had a bunch homework due, BUT we also had a girl come in an teach us three different dances in just a week. That's on top of our work duties, and our work teams, class and homework. We danced anywhere between 2 and 5 hours in a day! It was crazy. Two of the dances that we did were Thai dances, and they were really hard and kind of frustrating at first, but once we caught on to them, they were actually really fun. The last one we did was like a line dance, and it was so fun because we were familiar with a lot of the steps already, it was just a matter of getting them in the right time with the music.
Well, I'm going to tell you a little story now. So, the other morning, i went to have breakfast, and there hanging in a cage was a GIANT gecko. I thought he was the coolest thing. So we were all amazed by it and we named it and all that. Then we went on with our day. I came back later to find that the cage and the gecko were gone. strange i thought. Until i realised.... guess what was there for dinner? Yep, this week i ate fried gecko. I also ate an entire fish, head, tail fins and all. He was just a little guy, but still. It was good, except a little to fishy tasting for me. ha ha
I also became just a little bit more Thai this week. All the Thais, after having showers, or just at random times  during the day, will put baby powder all over themselves. We always kind of made fun of them, until we tried it. Because its so humid out here, your skin gets really sticky, but the baby powder gets rid of that. So one of the girls and i went out and bought some, its technically not baby powder, they call it "refreshing powder" and its got cooling stuff in it too, so it feels so nice because you don't have to go to bed feeling all gross.
And for the second discovery that i made this week.... Thai massage. Oh boy. Kathryn (the Canadian) and i went to get massages today and it was SO nice. The best part about it? it cost $4 for an hour! I mighhhtt just be going back there at some point.
Little heads up, on Sunday we leave for Chiang Rai, which is a couple hours away for a two week conference. We'll be staying at the YWAM base there, the schedule for us will be pretty similar, except we'll have an extra teaching first. I don't know what the Wi-fi situation is going to look like, so i might not be giving updates for the next two weeks, but there is rumour that the base WILL have Wi-fi, but i don't want to get my hopes up.
Well that's it for this week, i hope you guys are all doing well at home, talk to you later!
