Thai speaking parrots...too cute:)

I couldn't get the red parrot to say anything in Thai but the white one was definitely on it's A game this morning :)..It made my morning...I need to figure out what it's saying though.

Sorry the video is sideways..I got too excited when it started speaking.

Club members selling books..and playing the guitar:)

Ok so this was really interesting. During our tour of the campus, we passed by a group of kids who were selling some notebooks to help promote their club I guess..but the two boys played the guitar and sang!! How cute!

Colorful cab challenge!

wow..I did not know that there could be so many colors of cabs! Pink, orange, yellow and green, white, neon green, blue...whew...I'm yet to see like a rainbow colored cab.:) I'll upload pictures of cabs as I see them..oh boy..that should be interesting!

Campus tour!

Yes it's humid..o_0..but my hair's loving it:)

Surprisingly it's not as hot as I expected it to be..it's just ridiculously humid! Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing water or something...or maybe about to drown in the air while walking down the street. 2 good things about the humidity though:

1. I don't get ashy..do you know how amazing that feels? The fact that if for some reason I forget to put lotion on my knees or elbows..it's ok...Literally one of the best feelings ever..:)

2. This afro growing on my head is thanking me for coming to Thailand and naturally moisturizing it with the weather..It feels awesome! When I touch my hair in the middle of the day it's just wonderful.

Also I noticed a rain pattern. It rains at about 5:30pm everyday..a torrential downpour for about 15 minutes and then it stops. It's fine by me..I'm done with class at that time.

The campus that looks like a palace..no seriously though it does..

This campus is the most beautiful place I've ever seen..not even playing. I'm not a big traveler..haven't been to many places or seen that many breath taking sights but let me just say that this campus' architecture blew me away! These are some rich kids that go here because they must be paying lots of thousands of baht for the school to be able to build these amazing structures. What I love most is the fine detail of each building..the patterns on the wall.. the lakes here and there with beautiful white swans casually swimming in them, the 2 beautiful parrots(one snow white and the other red and blue) that say 'sa wat di kaa'(which means hello) from time to time..too much for me..it's going to take some time to sink in..Wow!

The ceiling of some of the rooms

Big C supermarket

Big C supermarket is like a Walmart or Target downtown which has...well..EVERYTHING. Everything's reasonably priced too..I mean why did I pack to come to Thailand again? Anyway, there were some really interesting stuff..especially the fruits and pastries..all with labels in Thai..which at this point I wish I could read Thai because that would be very helpful.

Wafer sticks dipped in strawberry cream..de-lish! and just 30 cents

Pink Eggs!

I don't know what kind of eggs these are but they looked interesting.

Journey to Thailand!

Wow! I can't believe I'm finally here..it feels too good to be true..and I already have lots I want to talk about. So the flight was looong..but bearable. I was actually impressed with Cathay Pacific's service..not that I was expecting anything horrible but I didn't know what to expect for a 16 hour flight. It was wonderful..there was an extensive selection of movies,games, tv shows..on and on..:)

Getting ready to take off..we looked nothing like this getting off the plane after 16 hours.

I got baked salmon for lunch and pork for dinner...de-licious!

Lunch...I was stuffed...and Haagen Dazs to top it off?..you put me right in heaven. Loved it!

All packed!

Bags all packed! It's an indescribable feeling right now..I had to ask my friends to pinch me to make sure it's really true!!! AAAAAgggghh!!!!! See you soon Thailand!! <3

Rocking an afro in Thailand

Yup..that's one more thing I'm excited about! Rocking my natural hair..honestly I'm a bit nervous..but let's hope I get used to the stares..:) Fingers crossed

The countdown is on!

So I'm studying abroad in Thailand for half a year..Awesome right? Yup!! I'm really excited to experience all the wonderful stuff I've heard from students who were there last year...especially the islands..i can already feel the sand in between my toes..swimming in the beautiful ocean..oh boy..I can go on and on..and in a few days all of this will be real! I'm glad I'm starting this blog to share my thoughts and the things that excite me or annoy me in this journey..so read on!
