Carving Vegetables
Yes that's right, this girl made one of those flowers complete with leaf and orange sunflower and red rose flower! Hello Everyone!!
Okay so in my last entry i said we were off to get an oil massage. Well we found a place across the street actually and we decided to get the full hour full body oil massage (we had only gotten one half an hour back and leg massage previously) So we go in there and we have found that each massage parlor has a different way of doing things like the one we went to on khao san in Bangkok they washed our feet first and then at this place they had us wear slippers and have a shower first. So we both lay down on the beds, chelsea was beside me and there was just a curtain between us. They did our backs first and legs and whatever, then they had us flip over and they did our arms. Now.... here's the kicker, we were soon about to be violated! So after they were done our arms off came the towel that was covering our chest... yes that's right, there was complete cuppage of the breasts!!! We both were just like what the hell??? Anyway after they left we both started laughing and got changed and
Cooking
Spring rolls, that I made! Yummy!! walked out of that crazy place without being able to look those ladies in the eyes, we felt like a bunch of lesbians to say the least and i don't think our emotional scars will heal very fast! Needless to say we are NEVER getting an oil massage ever again!
So that night we went and ate at mcdonalds and then walked around the night bazaar it's like this huge market that is like 2 blocks long andthen a block down every side street it's crazy! It's taken us 3 days now and we haven't seen it all yet! So we were told that a thai massage is a lot better then an oil massage, so we came across this really nice place that offered that hour thai massage for cheap so we thought we better get back on the horse and try the thai massage. We had heard that it was painfull so we asked for a soft one, well they had us change into their clothes and then they twisted us in positions i didn't even know i could do haha. It was like doing yoga but they put you into the positions. It included them sitting
Eating
The group on the back of our thighs and pulling our arms behind us and up so that our head and chest was off the ground and your back cracks like 50 million times. They also sit by your feet and massage your thighs withtheir heels while they are pulling your hips out of their sockets haha and hmmm what else did they do, well i can't really remember but they basically crack every bone in your body and some of the positions hurt at the time but after you feel pretty good i must say. So we are back on the massage band wagon again, only we're never getting another oil massage haha!
So yesturday we had a cooking class which lasted from 9am till about 4pm it was soooo much fun! It was the first time we were with people all our age or close to it anyway they were all fun people too, mostly girls, one guy and he was a chef back in europe so he showed all of us up haha. We got to cook some awesome thai dishes like green curry something something, pad thai, fried banana's with vanilla ice cream on top, spring rolls, and mango salad. We also learned how to carve a sunflower out of a slice of a carrot and a leaf out of a cucumber and flower out of a tomato, pretty sweet! The coolest part was that we made everything ourselves! We prepared all the ingredience first and then went to the gas stoves and basically just threw everything into woks and cooked it all. We had some pretty cool stuff to cook with up here too like we made some chicken dish with coconut cream and coconut milk and coconut sugar. We didn't eat it thought because it had chicken in it. After that first chicken dish we changed it so that whenever we used chicken we got to use pork or the veggy option. Which worked out a lot better, i'm sure the chicken is safe to eat here, because everyone was eating it but we would just rather not chance it, there were two swedish girls who didn't eat the chicken as well so we didn't feel that bad about not eating it. We got a cook book with the lesson too and it was pretty cheap considering we didn't have to buy our food for the whole day!
So we got home and went major shopping last night at the night bazaar, and we chatted with our guesthouse lady who works there, she's so cute, and since we've stayed at the same place for a few days now she's been talking to us more and more. Well anyway this morning we slept in till about noon and then went for brunch at our bakery and that brings me to this place haha, we're in some kind of plaza and it's free internet so that's awlays sweet! Anyway we are going to get going so i hope all is well at home and you guys are staying safe on those roads, hopefully they aren't too bad, i think i've forgotten how cold and icy it can get there already haha
Cheers!
