sorry about the late post again, ill tell you why later!
so this past week, as you know ive been on vacation from school, things havent been too exciting, id wake up in the morning, shower, get dressed in my thai clothes(baggy capris, a t-shirt and sandals...everyday Ilove thailand) go downstairs, find out what i was eating(its really a surprise every day... it almost feels like christmas!)
then id go and chill with my host brother, maybe weed watch some tv, or go into town and eat lunch, then ill go and play guitar(thankyou mom and dad!),thats basically how monday and teusday whent, ive also been reading alot, ill just pull a chair onto the lawn in the front yard, and you know.. become one with nature and read my books, (i finished pride and prejudice the other day, and i have to ad mit, i actually liked it!)
hmm oh, sdo then the other exchange students got back to khon kaen, so each day id take the bus out there, and just hang out in the big city, one of the things that i love to do there is go to the tukom(it means paradise in thai, and is a massive mall) and play GUITAR HERO!(if your not familliar with what could possibly be ther greatest video game since mario! its got a controller shaped like a guitar, and you play rock songs on it) at the arcade, ok ryan sounds like fun, but wheres the twist?
glad you asked, the twist is, NO THAI PERSON KNOWS HOW TO PLAY!!!
\basically the machine sits there and collects dust, until a forienger like me comkes along, and the cool thing is, since nobody knows how to play, people crowd around the machine and and are like an audiance(oh yeah they clap and everything!), for americans like me, so i play that with some of the other exchange students, and i teach them skills that ive learned in the countryside
ie. the kids at school taught me how to open a coke bottle with my teath, thats pretty hot right?
hmm, the next day, we were just sitting around trying to think of something to do when one of the girls said something about her hair color, then the idea was bourn(may not have been the greatest) that weed all go out and color our hair(you dye easter eggs, you color hair)
so long story short, i no have black/blue tinged hair, my host mom thought it was awesome she said that i dont look like an american anymoe(yeah right)so that was fun,
earlyier that week i learned of a concert in bangkok, As I Lay Dying(another band my dad loves) so i pleaded my host mom to let me take a bus to meet my friend there, so i could go, after a little deliberation, she aggreed, and i was able to ride in a buss acros thailand by my self tosee an amazin concert, the shows on the 18, and i think ill leave my blog off with my leavin for bangkok yet again, cause techincly that was the start of a new week, asnd im in an tiner net cafe,and im just about out of time, all i can say is that i stayed in a youth hostel last night!
it was glorious, i had about a cubicles worth of space!
Agian sorry for the brevity of this one, next blog ill be at home, so itll be nice and long
till then

I'm glad to hear from you Mr. Blue/Black hair! I guess it will fit in with the concert on the 18th!
Be careful at the concert. Where did you stay at a youth hostel? Did you do anything exciting in that town?
Give us a call when you get back so we know you made it ok.
We love you.
Mom
haha next time you play guitar hero think of me and how bad i am at it.
I must say i am glad that you added this part
(you dye easter eggs, you color hair)
because thats what you told me when i colored my hair red.

Ryan you will need your teeth when you are my age, don't use them for opening coke bottles or gumming will be all you can do. Everyone here has had a good time reading your blogs. Take care of yourself,
Be safe,
Mona
