Chiang Mai: The beginning. Recapped

I landed in Chiang Mai around midnight July 23rd. Considering I was one of the few not Asians on the plane I noticed a girl around my age that looked American and asked “are you here for the ATI course?” luckily she was. We rounded up our bags and shared the shuttle to our resort. Upon arrival we found out the only 2 other people had arrived...our roomates. After waking up my roomie, Brad, We decided to take a walk around despite the fact that at this point I had been awake for over 30 hours. Long story short we bought fried “chicken” bits and sat on the curb to eat and drink at 7-11. after talking for a few hours we realized it was 3:30 am and we should probably get some sleep. The next day the 4 of us walked the city and did the tourist thing...Chiang Mai is old! And there was plenty to see and more excitingly for me, to eat.




I our time together there (1 month) the sixteen of us, went to waterfalls, markets, temples, ate bugs (well some of us), danced, partied, studied, taught, hung with monks, and had an awesome time getting our TESOL certificates.

Hmm...how to start?

So I'm finally doing this blog thing.  Everyone and their mother is asking me about my trip so I'm giving in!  I'll eventually catch you up. At the moment I am sitting at a coffee shop in Bangkok.  I left the US on July 22nd and have been in Thailand for 3 months.  Alot has happened since then, I have been working on a condensed recap of my epic adventures in Thailand and will post it in some form soon.
