A brief and unfunny update

Hi guys!! This will be short and low on the humor, but I thought i'd post a little update. What can i say except that Thailand is amazing!! I'm having a good time here, especially now that I'm out of that guesthouse--I stayed in a hotel for a couple of nights and am now crashing at a friend's appartment until mine is ready (next monday). Speaking of the new digs, wait till I post some pics--this place is like a resort! I'm on about the 30th floor, decent sized place with a seperate living area, small kitchen (though no stove) and seperate bedroom and bath. It's part of two twin towers on the west bank of the Chao Praya river. On the seventh floor, there is a giant outdoor garden that joins the two towers, with a park and a running trail etc. And on the main floor, a huge spa type gym called the Oasis, with a lake-like pool--must be 100 meters long, but naturally curved and stuff, sand beach with recliners etc, resteraunt, spa and gym!! Needless to say i'm living the high life. Anyways, more on that when i actually move in. The weather has been chilly here, about 30 degrees or so bwahahaha take that Edmonton! So lying around the pool in the sand has been really tough, but I've managed somehow ;) No major sickess yet, knock on wood, and this weekend we are being taken to a 5 star resort--known as the Hamptons of thailand--with school, all expenses paid. (part of student orientation). So things are lookin' up ;) Classes are good so far, was assigned some thai buddies, so they will probably show me the more local side of bangkok. Also, one of them is Catholic (unheard of, only like .005% of the population so very weird coincidence) so I'm going to try to find a church. But yeah, things are going well, I'll be in touch soon! Stay classy! And don't have the player, hate the game. And Post COMMENTS!
