Two Minutes
I have two minutes.
I've been reading through emails from Beau (BEST BOYFRIEND EVER!!!!) and talking to Danny on IM so I only have a minute now before I meet people.
But this is from my IM conversation with Danny. He said "Tell me a Thailand story"
Chausette4: i went to this hill tribe and built a house for this family of 4 (mom, 3 kids, dad just died a month ago) out of bamboo. and a saw and string (you know, for a level). and the night we got there there was also a funeral going on for an older woman who had died and we were asked to join in the ceremony and i walked around the coffin for like 30 minutes and was then offered whiskey from a plastic bag and i took it. and then i drink whisky out of the bag the next day when we were building the house (it's cool, everyone was) and i tought these middle aged tribe women the chicken dance. long story.
Chausette4: and i learned hello and thank you in the karenii language.
Chausette4: cause i was chillin with the karen tribe. it kind of sounds like french. really beautiful.
Chausette4: and i gave little kids de-worming medication and then really loud annoying balloon noise makers and coloring books. we didn't know the balloon things were also noise makers.
Chausette4: and they all (women, men, kids) had much cooler clothing than me.
Chausette4: all super bright track suit tops and bottoms with knit hats.
Chausette4: except the married women. they had on traditional clothing. really beautiful. still with the knit hats.
More on the whole tribe thing later. And the last week at the elephant park and everything else. So amazing. I already told them I'm coming back in January. I've learned such an incredible amount in the last two weeks. I'm so happy. And tan. And hungry.
More Later!!!
