Chiang Mai

Crazy place, nice guest house that I'm at, took a nap, much needed that one ya.. and then it was time for a really cheap ass breakfast and ... yup, I got to learn how to cook Thai food, we went to the local market, it was very clean, quiet, and organized, I was quite amazed...if only the guys in Nairobi did markets this way.... we learned how to pick the veggies, saw diff kinds of fruit, lots of fish, fresh and slithering all over the place in their little bins...I felt a little sad for them tho....

Then if was off to the cooking school, about 5 minutes outside of the city... now this place was pretty cool, a nice little kitchen with 2 gas burners (it was only me an another girl) and so it was a very personalized session with the instructor.... we learned to cut, cook and prep all the food, then we got to eat it... mmmm.mmmm. good... I also got a recipe book so I don't forget what to put in it ;)

My favorite dish was the Chicken with Cashew nuts... mmm.. so good, and so amazingly simple, we made 2 dishes in about 30 minutes, which is pretty quick when you look at it.

Took a nap back at the hotel, and then wandered around the night markets of Chiang Mai... I swear I wanna buy everything here, it's so nice and pretty. Really cool shirts, lamps, watches, bags, jeans, you name it, they got it, and the prices are fairly reasonable as well... maybe one day I'll make a trip down here and buy loads of shit to furnish my place... it's really a sight to see, I was told that it was cool, but you gotta check it out one day!

off to eat McDonalds, I've eaten too much Thai food for one day ;)
