Not a lot to this entry, I just wanted an excuse to put in a bunch of pictures. But I was able to go to a shopping center yesterday with my host brother and my host mom, which was pretty fun and also very overwhelming. My host brother is getting ready for his exchange trip to Germany, and after shopping for his supplies, we went out to lunch at a restaurant pretty similar to a bunch of American hot pot places. I actually tried some of the spicy sauces and it wasn’t bad, which gave me a false sense of confidence… and my throat burned, so now I know not to be stupid while trying Thai spices. I also have a good amount of mosquito bites despite spending most of my time indoors, so… I guess I’ll get used to that. After getting back I met a Rotex (former exchange) student. Her name is Christine, she went from Germany to Thailand and stayed with the same family two years ago. She taught me some of the basics and what to look out for, and after dinner we played a bunch of card games with the younger two brothers.
Overall I’m still really confused but people are super nice and I’m loving it here.
