What's up guys, Emily S here checking in from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I'm having a blast already! We've been here for almost 3 days now and it's so beautiful and amazing. Getting here took forever, but honestly it was so worth it. We've already had the chance to do so many cool things like ride in these backless vans and go to all these cool night markets. We've visited Buddhist temples and even gotten the chance to chat with monks, not to mention all the amazing food we've had already. Tomorrow is our last day in Chiang Mai before we head up to Mai Rim for almost two weeks to live with host families and intensely study Thai for a bit, which should be really awesome. I'm really looking forward to it. Without going into super crazy detail that's all I have for now so I'm gonna sign off. I'll try and keep you all posted with everything that's going on and for all of you reading back in St. Pete, I miss you guys bunches and I can't wait to see you all in 3 short months!
diew jer ga na kra,
Em!
