Thai cooking/ Culture
I've been hanging out the last day or two, checking out the markets, and taking in culture.
Today I signed up for an organic thai cooking class!! They took us into the mountains, my first venture outside of the city, and it was beautiful! We got to pick all of these fresh, delicious herbs from the garden, cooked 3 different meals, and then had a great feast!! We hung out for a little bit and then made desert. Sugared sticky rice with mango! The food feels wholesome and nourishing. I'll take advantage of it while I am here because most of the herbs aren't available in the US. I really don't know how to cook all that well, but learning to be a great cook is definitely on the eventual to-do list!

Pour some sugar on me: they definitely like to sugar everything here! I've gotten a coffee, orange juice, and ice tea that I haven't been able to eat because it is so sugary. Again, more motivation to learn the language!
Thai motor bikes: I definitely thought that I wouldn't dare get on one of those, but the owner of the place that i am staying and another couple in their fifties swear by them. There are a few parks and workout places just outside of the city where it would be great to have some transportation there. Today, I saw a couple people driving with one hand and holding their baby with the other hand, so I figure if they can do it, so can I!
