Location: Chiang Mai, Thailand

   So I'm here in Chiang mai which is inland, and there are no beaches. Its pretty cool though. Very cheap. Internet is like 20 baht an hour and 1CAD is 35 baht!

I went to the night markets last night (called night bazaar) it was pretty cool.. shopping for miles! Gabby got a job right near Bangkok so I'm going to visit her in a couple of days when i leave here. Hopefully meet up with Tara if she ever emails us!!!! (tara where are u ?)

Its a lot cooler up here. When i say cooler i mean like not out of control hot. I even put on my jeans last night haha and they were a bit big which means i must doing something right lol.

Tomorrow I'm going on a tour where ill see long neck tribes. You know those pics you see in national geographic of those strange people with jewelry to extend their necks ? yeah... them. I'm seeing a few other things too like hot springs,waterfalls, maybe a temple etc. I'm staying in a sweeeeeeet hotel right now! Air con, Tv (with good movies) a fridge and a king size bed.

I'm gonna pamper myself today and get a pedicure, MASSAGE (I'm saying it the way they do for all of u who have been here lol) and yeah i was thinking of going to the zoo, but we'll see. Most people to jungle treks when they are here but like anyone who knows me obviously knows I'm not into that! i cant handle these bug bites out here.

ahhhh there is a Subway here in Chiang Mai YUM its kind of pricey tho (for here) i guess its pretty much the same price as back home, i was so excited to see it tho. When i walked in it even smelled the same. awww. That's all for now cause thinking of subway is making me hungry.
