the beggining of the end pt 3 ryan the destitute/current events

alright.
so last time i left you i was talking about man week right???
alright , so due to some events in man week one week later we foundourselves with next to no cash and two of my friendswith major bruises, scrapes and cuts all over themselves!
(dont ask now, i cant tell you until im out of the country)

so whilst sitting in a bus station contomplating our future, how we'd get home and the state of my friends physical health we came up with a brilliant idea, my friend andrew and i would use the last of our money to make it to banbueng(stll 7 hours away from my home in khon kaen) andrew would then use his extra to get home the next day, while i(literally i have no money at this point) would stay with daniel at his house for the next 10 days until my host mom came to the south for a rotary confrence, upon which i would meet up with her, and then daniel would come back to my house with me until the outboud camp on the 7th!
(whew that took a while to explain, trust me, it took us quite a while to reate this plan and ok it with mae tuk, but one wrench which ill get back to later was that daniel had no phone, sowe were never really able to ok it with his host mom)

so here we are the three of us on a bus to banbeung, when it starts to dump rain! i thought it wasnt that big of a deal at first, until the bus dropped the three of us off on the side of the highway about 2k away from daniels house!

so right now its monsoon status rain, and were grappling withour bags, and me with my guitar when we spot shelter....kinda

on the side of the road was a row of unused sections of concrete sewer pipes so the tree of us rush over to our respective pipe, trow our bags in, and wait out the storm inside these 5 foot pipes!
it was AWESOME!

so after a while the rain stopps and we start the hike to daniels house we settle in for the night not knowing what boring hell awaits us...

the next day andrew sets off, and and daniel realizes that his ankle is alot bigger than it was las night(remember 2 of us were pretty banged up) and apparenty is in alot of pain, so we find a motorcycle taxi, both of us climb on and head off to the hospital!

after lots of wait time,xrays, and hospital bills which we some how with our mediocre thai skills got them to let us pay next week!
we found out that it wasnt broken, jsut really badly bruised and a little infected(daniel never listened to me!)

so at first we thought the next week and a half wouldent be so bad, we had tons of dvds and well we downloaded pokemon on his computer so we were playin that like cazy!

we lasted like 2 day before we started goin a little bit nuts.
no money=no food
no money=no were to go
no money=no new movies
no money=ryan and daniel sitting on the couch staring at the wall.

we were seriously climbing the walls, until one day, remember how i said that his mom didnt know that i was gonna be staying there?
well once we got there he asked, and she grudginly said yes(not the nicest lady, but hey she still let me sleep there for like 5 days so she cant be that bad)
after 5 days though she kinda welll...
changed her mind?

yep she really didnt give me a reason but she said that shed give daniel his allowance early, and with that we could leave to my house and sit out our time until the outbound camp there!

well were didnt argue.
next day i thanked her profusely for herhospitality and the both of us got the H outta dodge!

so once we got home i found atm card(i left it on my desk, thats why i was broke)
and instantly i was rich!
so for the next week or so we stayed at my house and just hung out, my other friend zach came by too, and the 3 of us counted the days till the out bound camp!

more on that later!

now ill give you a little current events
today i PACKED!
yep
i packed every scrap of clothing i own into my bag today it was wierd seeing my empty closet.
now all ive got left to take care of is all of my non clothes itemsbooks, pics ect you know all those random things ive accumulated over 10 months!
ive made a deal with a friend of mine in kk shes gonna come over and help me figure out what to pack and what to toss, as long as i go over there and help her do the same thing!
wow i never really thought this time would come!

what else?
oh, just something cool that happened today...
today it rained pretty hard, but i had to mail so me letters, buy some blank cds, and pick up some lunch, so i just grabbed my umbrella and ipod and walked the streets of my village running errands in the rain!
it was awesome! it made me kinda sad i was leaving so soon!
it was one of those moments where i thank god for letting me be in thailand!
any ways i thought it was pretty boss so hey im writing about it!
hmmm thas all i got for now
