Today, simply put, was a great day. We woke up early, and my sunburn was feeling quite a bit better. We met Lucy ( a girl from Britain who is teaching early years at Regents) by the pool and then decided to go shopping. So we rented motorscooters, which cost five dollars a day, and took off into Pattaya. We went to this bright orange building that has no name on the outside, but inside are five floors of computer electronics, video games, music, dvds, and everything else electrical. It was quite fun. We found our cell phones there. The thai girl who sold them to us was so happy for the sale that she forgot to turn them to the english setting. That was soon remedied. We then stopped for gelato. I have never had gelato, but it was actually quite amazing. And they even had a ferroro rocher flavor gelato. Crazy. Then, off we went for supper. Lucy said she knew a good place, so we put our trust in her. Good thing too. We literally sat at a table right at the foot of the ocean staring out at the islands and eating a great thai food dish. Words can't express how beautiful the ocean is out here. Jasmine and I finished the day off by enjoying a nice movie together (Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood). So nothing grand or extravagant really, but just a great day. Tomorrow the school is taking everyone out for lunch so we can get to know each other. Should be fun!
