Happy Friday

Well, this posting to the blog every couple days hasn't worked as well as I planned. But, I'll keep trying...

Liz and I have gotten used to life in Bangkok (kind of). Liz has become an expert at the river taxis, and I have had the opportunity at work to try a myriad of restaurants (which Liz is later subjected to).

last Friday Liz and I met one of my coworkers (James) and some of his friends for dinner at the night bazaar. Imagine going to the state fair, but with lots of people trying to sell food and beer to you while you sit at a table in a big section under a tent while listening to Thai's karaoke anything from the Temptations, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash and the Black Eyed Peas. Very interesting, but a great time.

Saturday and Sunday Liz and I packed up with the other interns and went off exploring Thailand with some professors from Thammasat University. Great time. We were able to try lots of food, see lots of Buddhas and temples, see some handicrafts, nature, did I mention try lots of food, and get some great stories all on the University's dime. Liz and I had a great time getting to know some of the professors and getting to know Dave and Mia, two of the other UW students over here (unfortunately, Maureen couldn't attend).

After a long weekend, we relaxed a bit this week. We have gone out for dinner a couple times, met up with some friends, and generally kept busy. Work has been good and Liz has found some interesting parts of Bangkok.
