When we arrived in Thailand, Ashley, Tutu, Star (on a trip from Canada) and a bunch of the orphans were there to pick us up! It was so exciting! We all piled in the truck and drove (on the opposite side of the road) to Tutu's house where we unpacked and got settled in. 

Her house is so nice. She lives in what looks like a florida resort! haha- we're not struggling at all here. 

I had some time to catch up with Ashley and it was so nice and so needed! We talked about life and she talked about her adjustment to living here and some of the things she's been through. She's amazing. And Star has been great to get to know too! 

We popped in at each of the orphanages in Doi Saket (1,2, and 3) then went and got dinner. The food is a lot safer here than it is in Cambodia, so we don't have to be as careful or as worried. 

After dinner we went to the walking market and looked around. Thailand is very different than Cambodia. We got delicious banana and chocolate waffles!! mmm!

Thailand is a really confusing place. it is one of the most mixed culture I have ever seen! It is as if the rural and the urban has collided! There are rich houses and poor shacks intermixed throughout the city of Chiang Mai. It is so strange... 

Anyways.. busy busy busy. I'll update more later!
