Stephen thought it was funny to find ice scrapers in Thailand.
We also visited the mall one day, along with a lot of other motorbikes.
After about seven months without a keyboard or piano, the one in the store was quite appealing.
And so were the blenders. So we bought one! And made these dragonfruit smoothies later.
On Saturday night, we went to see a movie! We saw Captain America, which a) turned out to be pretty good, but perhaps because of my low expectations going in and b) was a little odd to watch among so many Thais, with many American culture jokes and an anthem to the king at the beginning.
It was fun.
There were other treasures to purchase in Chiang Mai. After just six months here and already breaking 11 of our starting 18 glasses, we splurged $6 on the super strong version.
And Stephen’s big purchase: red pants!
Pretty fun until I forgot about them, came home and threw them in the wash. The inside of all his other pants (the waistband & pockets) are now pink. And quite a few other things.
I suppose it had to happen sometime, but perhaps now, when we can’t replace most of what was dyed, wasn’t the best timing!
We also went to hike at Doi Suthep, the mountain to the west of Chiang Mai.
It was hot.
And beautiful.
We also drove up Doi Suthep for orientation with the team a few days later. And it was still beautiful 🙂
