Sorry for the delay everybody.....I've either been busy or way too tired to blog, hahaha. I've finally started school and it's great! I'm in a special program called FLAP- foreign language advanced program. So I get to learn Japanese! Honestly the only thing I have eaten for lunch is fried chicken with rice and milk tea or pink milk. Which is really hard to describe....pink milk is milk with like a syrup in it...I'm not sure but it's really good! Luckily my classrooms have air conditioning so even when I start sweating I cool off for 50 minutes! Oh, a great thing about Thai schools is if a teacher isn't at school or doesn't show up for class, we get a free period!! Whoop whoop!!!! It's awesome. And honestly, during those times everyone-including me- is extremely CRAZY!!!!! The boys in my class have figured out a way to flick bottle caps sort of like a Frisbee and it's hysterical!! I tried it but the guys are wayyy better than most of the girls. I tried telling a knock-knock joke to one of the guys- you know, the one about the interrupting cow- I said "knock-knock?" and he said "what?"-.-' I tried to explain it but they were kind of confused....Then I tried the "someone told me you sound like an owl" and the guy said, "oh cool".....*facepalm* So now I must teach them the way of jokes. But anyway......oh, just so you now I have no clue how to upload pictures to my blog but I have a Shutterfly account with the same name as my blog but don't go visit that page just yet....I think I only have one picture on there....^^' so I need to figure out how to upload folders, not just individual pictures. So be sure to visit that soon, not soon, I have no idea. Just know that there will eventually be pictures. Eventually...XD

Saturday I went to the mall with my family for a book fair, and then we had dinner at a Japanese noodle shop. I look over and what do I see? Bubble tea!!!!!! So after I finished my soup Pin took me over and helped me order one. It was so good! And then we went to the lowest level of the mall and Pin asked me if I wanted to go to a fish spa--so of course I said yes!!!! It was soo cool!! It really tickles at first, and then feels like nerves in your feet are going numb. But it was a lot of fun!
  Today I went out for lunch at another Japanese restaurant  with Pin, my aunt, grandma, Pin's niece and her boyfriend. After lunch Pin's niece, I don't even want to try to spell her name even though its easy to say, took me and her boyfriend to the zoo! It was so cool seeing all of the animals so close! I held 2 snakes and got pictures of white tigers, lions, and Siberian tigers!! and in the zoos here they aren't kept in cages....WHICH IS THE COOLEST THING EVER ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE LION GETS UP AND LOOKS RIGHT AT THE TRUCK-VAN THING!!!!!!!! It was amazing! And tomorrow I am going with Pin's niece to the university she teaches English at because I still won't be starting school yet! So I've been pretty busy the past couple of days but it's so much fun!

I have to say, Korean Air is very nice- I got slipper, a pillow, a blanket, and I got a tv with movies and music, including K-Pop! The only thing I didn't like was the airline food. At first it was amazing! I had Bibimbap for the first time and for airline food it wasn't bad. And then after that it was bad. Being on an airplane for 18 hours is horrible! It got better though because while flying to Bangkok I sat next to a woman from Thailand so I had a good time chatting with her! I didn't eat my dinner on that flight though-2 cups of ginger ale later and I still felt like I was going to vomit. Bleh. So I just slept like the entire time. The hotel my aunt and I stayed in was very nice! She bought be dinner from 7 eleven; a spicy chicken burger, delicious sliced bread that was sala cider and milk flavored, and something that I probably don't want to try again- hot chili squid lays. No matter how adventurous you say you are for trying different food you probably won't like these unless you like squid.
        But anyhow, the flight from BKK to Ubon was nice, it was only 45 minutes and I got this cold chicken pot pie like snack and that was very good to eat when you are peckish. I arrived at Ubon and was welcomed by my host families! It was great to finally meet them after so long! And then I left with my first family and we went out to breakfast and then home. I tried some delicious fruit that you can only find in Thailand! And then we went out shopping for my school uniform and I got my phone, which I really like by the way; it's very nice! And then we went out for dinner at a Chinese-Thai restaurant that was very good, except when your stomach is still upset from airline food!!! But my host mom ordered me shrimp fried rice and I loved it! Although by that time my stomach hated me for killing it with new foods.
       I love my room! I have a desk with a lamp and tons of books, a reading lamp by the bed and the bed sheets are super cute! Plus, I have a body pillow which is amazing! And what's hilarious is that I recently purchased a book called Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and her daughter; my host sister Pin has the same book! I thought that was awesome. And now I have unpacked and get to hang out. Oh and by the way in  case any of you were wondering the weather here is pretty nice; it's hot and all but there's air conditioning which really you don't need if you put your fan on.
     And there are super cute dogs running around that are friendly. So just in case, it's a good thing I have my rabies shot!

1 day left!

So I got one day left......! I feel like I'm going to have a Home Alone moment in the airport...counting off on my fingers everything I have and come to a sudden halt and scream "Kevin"! Well, probably not Kevin but you get the drift. I'm honestly not freaking out too much but I'm sure my mom is. So I will have pictures up within a couple of days as of tomorrow so make sure to check back at least by next week! Ta-ta for now!...
