a short one, my trip to p/u my mom!

alright so as you kno2 my moms conig to thailand, early this week my h mom said that weed leave 2 days early, cause my host grand parents had to go to a meeting in bkk, so the great idea was that we would leave a midnight, and pack the car with both my host parents, my host bro, both my host grand parents, and me, +all our luggage!!
anyways we head out(our tires signifantly lowr than when we started)

alright so let me give you the ld on my host grand parents,
grandma
i don really know her name, i just call her grandma, the lady used to be an english teacher like 15 years ago, and speaks to me in english all the time, but the thing is that her thai accent is sooo bad sometimes that its actually easier for me to understand her when she peaks thai!

(sidenote, why yes, my thai has improved very much over these past couple weeks, most nights ill just sit in the front yard with mae tuk, and weel talk in thai!
its cool cause i really get to build my vocab with her!)

ok
granpa.
i just call him grandpa, cause i don actually know his name either!
one word kinda sums this dude up...
creepy
and i know its just cause hes an old dude, and its probly only wierd cause hes not actually related to me, but this guy is handsy...
alright ill show you
put your hand over your belly button.
move you hand to the left(yours not mine)about 4 inches
raise it another 3
thats exactly the place he goes for whenever he meats me, he just kind puts his hand there, says hi and doesnt let go till i kinda push him away, whatever
also every thing this guy says sounds like the thai word for butter, i really dont have an explaination, either he is alweays askin me if i want butter, if i feel like butter, if i want to see butter, or go to butter.
or my thai ist axs good as i think it is...


im leanin to the first.


anyways the main thing that happened is that we stayed the night in pataya, which i have to tell you guys, is probably the sketchyest place ive ever been.
people call it "the adult disneyland"
this place was like vegas in an improvished part of the country, stripclubs and "massage parlors" everywher!
talk about awkward....



anyways first night we drove for roughly an hour trying to find some resuraunt, i was half a sec away from snaggin the wheel and pullin into the next 7-11 that i saw when we stopped at this place that looked like it had half of the monteray bay aquarium in it!
there were thes bath tub sized...uh...tubs with just about every sized and specie of crustacion in them, all in all ti was a good dinner, even though ny host mom kept tring to make me eat shrimp brains(they look like a paste, that i can only describe as... rohrange
gross.

next day we went to the ocean to swim, and just like the city the beach was discusting!
trash eveywhere you know?
oh well, tommoro im headin out for phuket, where the water is like glass!!!

htat night we left to pickup my mom at the airoport, i was so excited that i ended up waiting at the wrong gate for about an hour, only to turn around and see my mom runnin twords me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



well thats where i leave you, you see my moms gonna write the next blog tellin bout our travels cause like i said ill be in phuket for the next 9 days!
peace, im out!
