Shannon Hall Southeast Asia- SABAI

After travelling for almost two days, we finally arrived in Chiang Mai and got settled in our air conditioned hostel. The past few days have been full of getting to know each other and stumbling through this foreign culture. Everyone’s excited about the abundance of food and the girls (and Dillon) are even more excited about the Thai pants being sold on every street corner for the equivalent of 5 American dollars. Last night we all went to a huge outdoor market downtown where we all ate fresh food and came home with full stomachs and a new wardrobe. Right now we’re at an internet cafe in the middle of a scavenger hunt, but tomorrow we’ll be off to a more rural area where we’ll begin our home stays. While Chiang Mai has been an adventure in itself, we’re ready to go explore the rest of Thailand.
