I'm here!

After 24 hours of traveling we finally made it!! Its crazy!! So on our first day we woke up at about 7:30 am and went and got some breakfast at the apartment and checked out all the amenities. Then we went on a ride on this thing called a tuk-tuk which is like a small cart with two seats in the back and one in front for the driver. Anyway, we wanted to see the town so we really had no final destination so the driver took us to all these random shops where his friends work (so if we buy something he gets a share of the profits) he took us first to a travel place so we looked at all the different places we can go in thailand, then we went to a tailor where they can custom make suits and such for you (my friend Pat ended up buying two dress shirts for pretty cheap (like 35 dollars each) and he took us to a jewelry shop and then to the mall. The mall was crazy!! I couldn't tell when one store ended and the other started, there were all these little shops everywhere with lots of ipod stuff, watches, fake DVD's, designer jeans (fake? most likely yes but they are only 10 dollars- i may have to invest in a pair). OMG and the funniest part at the mall is they had this sign for a bra store that had names for all the different shapes of boobs! We took a picture which I'll try and upload sometime. So after that we came back to the hotel and met up with some of the other guys, went back to the mall to find a grocery store, bought some cereal and booze and then wandered our way back to the apartment. We went out last night to the backpackers district and it was good times, bars everywhere and clubs too. Not too wild or anything because we had to wake up early this morning to get some business done for school. Alright I'm off to shower! My apartment is amazing!!
