Epic Day

So today was one of the most epic days ever. I slept in real good, got up when I was rested, went to the gym, ate some good for me green stuff (translation - salad), then went to hang out with Thai friends.

One of them is being super amazing and giving me guitar lessons. That girl is earning jewels in her crown in heaven, because I am a bit stupid. :) I do have to admit - I understand why the F chord is named just that. It's a beast to hit for a newtimer!

An even more awesome part of today - going and playing ultimate. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ultimate Frisbee, and have not had the chance to play in a while. See, before I left for my two month trip, it was hot season and definitely not the time to go outside and run around like a lunatic.

So today we went over in pouring rain - while the rain stopped right before we got there, it was so muddy on the field. I was ridiculously dirty - and I can bet my tennis shoes will never be the same again. Let's add cleats to the list of things to pick up from Amurica when I visit later next month.

After Frisbee, I got to go clean up, then my Thai friends and I ate dinner - I had chicken fried rice - and watched a movie. It was great - me and my buddy went on her motorbike and picked up the food from a streetside vendor. Got to go down the street and just feel the cool evening wind running by. I was so ready to just fly at that time - Dad, would you kill me if I got a motorbike?

It was just a great day, and I loved it. It's a day like this when you understand that you are living in a different country, with a different language, different transportation (a motorbike is like a corolla in the US - everybody has one!), different food - yet we're ALL the same, in a funny way.
