Heys

Back from thailand! It was a good trip. A memorable experience despite the duration of the trip being a bit too long making me miss home!

One thing that really struck me whilst i was there was how the kids there are contented with so little, unlike us. And they make do with what they have. They're happy making bracelets and necklaces outta flowers they pluck etc. They don't have the amount of toys we have and yet they're really happy. They're even happy kicking around a soccer ball with a hole in it :) Maybe ignorance really is bliss.

The people there do aerobics daily too and when we decided to join them we nearly died of exhaustion. They seem to have spings in their feet and can go on forever when we wanted to give up after 10 minutes. The people there seem to have a never ending supply of energy whilst we're always tired! When we had nothing to do we would just laze around our house/play cards/dance/sing/take afternoon naps.

Bangkok was where i went crazy shopping till i was broke and had to borrow and change more money. But hmm everything's so cheap and the food there was good too! But i am officially sick of thai food after two weeks straight of spicy thai food.

Three weeks left of summer. So much more i want to do. But i must say summer has been not bad so far and i've managed to meet up and catch up with alot of people :) Still lots of people i want to meet up with though!! Summer is never long enough!

Sadly this time i leave i will be gone for a whole year ( I wonder how i am going to get through a whole year without coming back for christmas). But oh wells, hopefully, clinicals will be a good time. Looking forward to finally being able to see everything we've been learning about.

I have now a to do list of things to do and buy before i leave.. time to go tick some stuff off...
