So, I'm in Vietnam on vacation for 10 days. Just so yen's guys know. I finished my mid-terms and some finals this past Friday, and then Saturday, left on an airplane for a different country. WOOP! Half a semester down, one more half to go. Time has really flown, and yet I have so much more time until I arrive into the dark, soft folds of my own comforter.
I am super tired, and have a time limit for internet usage, and I really have nothing of value to tell you in this blog post, other than the fact that I got a 59/60 on my Thai speaking final. VICTORY SCREECH!
Words of advice: never EVER skip two weeks of muay thai lessons. Lemme tell you- my body has never wanted to collapse so much before this past Tuesday.
Thai massages kinda hurt. I got a massage on Friday to reward myself for all of my hard work, and to get all the kinks out of my back. Kristina and I walked to Silver and Gold Fingers behind Big C. It's a quaint, lovely place with ridiculously nice decorations. The ladies are sweet, even though they don't speak English, and they wash your feet after you change into some comfy clothes. Take your bra off- it's more comfy. Then, they lead you into a room where you lay atop nice cushions, listening to American songs done in classical piano/elevator music style performed by a Payap student. The experience was oddly patriotic for us.
Then, they twist the crap out of your body, and rub their bony fingers into everywhere that hurts. I was in pain the entire time, but after it was all over, I felt pretty nice. Then, they gave us some yummy ginger tea and cookies after it was all over.
I make this sound like a terrible experience, but everyone should try it at least once. 2 hours for $10? I say yes.
Oh. Sad news. Four people from our study abroad group left to finish their semester in Cambodia. For those of you looking to study abroad in Payap- this half and half program exists. Just search around on the website. It seems really cool, and I am super jealous. Mostly, I'll just miss these fun, fine people. :(
Okily doke! Short, but sweet. I must enjoy more of Nam.
