We started the day by going to the fresh market in town. It is the place where all the vegetables and seafood and things are sold early in the morning. But I got some breakfast nearby from some street vendors. There happened to be a parade going down the street by one of the local schools today. It was for their “Sports Day” where they split up into colored teams and play sports and games that day.<\/p>\n
My ATM card arrived here in Thailand about a week ago and today I was finally able to try it and it worked! So now I have a source of money again. I didn’t get too low on my money in China, so I wasn’t quite in danger. I noticed my new bank, ING, has a office just a little bit down the street in this town. However, I don’t think they have a ATM and banking there, but instead they only do insurance here in Thailand.<\/p>\n
It was mostly a relaxing day. I started to notice some differences between Chinese people and Thai people. Two big things I notice is no public spitting here in Thailand and rarely are horns used in cars\/motorcycles. I’d say those are welcome differences for me.<\/p>\n
For dinner Yu, her father, and I went to an area of the city for dinner. There are a series of street vendors and some tables, so it is sort of like a big outdoor restaurant. We had some rice and a few other dishes, including Roti, a kind of Indian style bread that was sweetened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
