Another crazy week has flown by in Chiang Mai. Nothing too new and wild has happened- just lots of the ol’ HW and cruising around on my favorite yellow bicycle that I rented for a few days. It’s the best (and probably one of the more sketchy) forms of transportation in the city.
I just finished this week’s essay, so next on the agenda is tracking down some Halloween costume materials... to the market! This weekend, we’re all headed to Burma for the day to renew our visas. So we’re driving four hours and stopping just in time to buy some pirated goods (greeaaat, just what I’ve always wanted...) and then we’re headed back to Chiang Mai.
Monday, we leave for Mae Hong Son for another 3 week expedition. Looks like we’ll have plenty of hiking between 6 small villages where we will stay with host families. So excited to harvest rice and learn about hilltribe medicine! And great news- just when I am getting comfortable speaking Thai, the Karen don’t speak Thai! So we are trying to learn some key phrases before being thrown into our host families’ homes.
Overall, I am really excited for it- and in the meantime, it’s Halloween! (even though no one celebrates it here but us...)
Thai Thai for now (and for the next 3 weeks),
Hannah
