Ive spent most of the week besides going to classes hanging out with the parents showing them around khao san http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-386768.html So yesterday the thai language classes went on an excursion to the floating markets located about an hour out of bangkok. Even though i had been there the year before with mummy P i figured since it was free it wouldnt hurt going back again.When we got there it was about 10am so and since it was a wednesday it was much quieter than went last time in which it was packed But it was cool 5 peopl http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-384861.html So what has happened over the past week Hmm nothing much. Midterms are over and it's back to class but its now only a week till the parents are over here in thailand.I went to Lopburi over the weekend which was cool. Just an over night trip.

I got woken up at 10.30 with a phone call from my land lord saying that sum men would be coming around in half an hour to fix sum things in my room and check out my so called termite problem.
