day eight

today was a fantastic day. we signed up for a thai cooking course!!! they took us on a tour of the market, showing us all the thai fruits and vegies and dried goods and sauces. then we cooked!!! i learned how to make soup!! i never knew how to make soup before!!! it is so easy!!! other highlights included banana spring rolls, spicy glass noodle salad, and this red curry/pumpkin/tofu thing. it was so nice to just relax and be in one building for a day, not to have to hike or take a tuk-tuk or go anywhere. and the food was divine. we got cookbooks so we can cook for everyone now.

then to the train station to book tickets down south. we found a fantastic little guest house in the heart of the old city of chang mai for our last two nights there. this place was so cute, very much like the cool hostels in europe where people actually hang out in them. they had board games, tv and movies, cool music, a pool table, good food, very nice owners. so what did we do? we left the hostel and went shopping at the night bazaar. i got a sarong.
