Korat

Had a pretty amazing day. I went with Jack, Sue, and Nathan into Korat for a shopping day in this mall that was ridiculously huge. Three stories, complete with waterfall (Cause really. It's not a mall with out a waterfall), food court (with places such as Dunkin' Doughnut's, KFC, Pizza Hut, some ice cream place based in San Fran, McDonald's, and one other place whos name escapes me), a grocery store, an Ikeaesque store, and more clothing stores then anywhere.

There were soooo many people to look at, clothes to browse through. And sooo much noise, it was so loud. Sue and I walked off while Jack and Nathan meandered around for a while before having lunch at the Pizza Company, which is a rival pizza place of Pizza Hut. The food was pretty good. I had a salad with quail eggs that was delish. But it's pretty hard to mess up a salad. We then went to the grocery store. There was a lot of Western food, ie. Taco seasoning, tortillas (why was I not in Korat for fajita night?!), brie (Thai's do not eat bread or cheese), and kit-kats.

After shopping all day we went back to Jack and Sue's ac filled house and started a documentary called Food Inc. We only got maybe 45 mins into it, but I am very interested in watching the rest of it. It's a documentary on where our food comes from in the States, the process and so on. It was really interesting and very, well. You probably wont want to eat meat after watching it.

Joy took us to the nicest restaurant on the man made reservoir for dinner. The weather was lovely, cool with no rain. We sat on the patio for a good two hours just chilling. Sue and I talked about India. I'm getting very excited about going. 12 more days! Sue told me about all her teachers and what the weather is going to be like. I'm very excited, its going to be dramatically different from Thailand, so many new things to see and do.
