The End is Near

I apologize for my lengthy time periods in which I post new entries. But unfortunately my friends, the time has come for me to make the pre departure post : ( yes the post where I write my last in depth entry in Thailand.


I can't believe I've been living here for two months. It feels like two weeks. The time sure did pass by faster than I thought. I mean I expected to think time passed slow in the begining and fly by near the end, but geez louise did it fly. I feel like I've gotten to that comfort level with my family where we all know each other that it saddens me to think that I'm just leaving now. I love my home in Prachuap, my parents really made me feel like I was their own daughter. Just yesterday my mom, dad and I were out in the front porch laughing at how he blamed me for crippling?! A chinchock, which is a lizard that usually inhabits thai houses. Ofcourse it was an accident but that bonding moment was what made me feel like I was really part of their family. When we can sit on the ground and just laugh at our attempts to draw pictures to communicate. I Love That!!!. And I'm sure going to miss it.

I'm also going to miss the lifestyle the thais have and that I've grown accustumed to in the last two months. So chill and worry free. Its all mellow like jello, while new york is more fast paced, up tight gotta get things done in time. In new york its like everyman for him/her self while in thailand people help you out, no malice behind their motives or nothing like that.

So today my friend Paula and I woke up at 4am to take the van to Bangkok, and that was like 4 hours (bleeehhhhh) then we got to bangkok and shopped at Chatujak where one can get lost from how imense the market is and how many stores it has. Then. Pau and I went to Siam Centre, Siam Peragon, and then to MBK. Well amist all that traveling we took the. Train, which was such a fun experience. And then the sky train as well. Afterwards we met up with another friend and ate some yummy Burger King. And shopped some more.

And now, I'm currently writing this entry in a van with Pau going back to our little ol' town, Prachuap! Its been two hours so far, and we have two more to go :x. But the whole day was super fun. The last three to four days have been sunny like crazy. I guess that's the wether for making up for lost time, since the pst few weeks were just rain storms.

Overall I'm going to miss everythibg really. The people, the food, the way of living, my friends, MY FAMILYYYYYYY, having Ao Prachuap Bay right there with the most beautiful view I've ever seen and its pier/marina with all the fishermen boats. I'm going to miss being waken up by birds chirping through my window the thai soap operas, my dogs. What else.... Just the life I've started here in Thailand, half way around the world from the life I previosuly led and am now going back to.
Don't get me wrong I'm happy I'm finally going to see my parents, I miss them, but you know its sorta like a bitter sweet taste cause I'm leaving and I well really don't want to. Not just yet. never the less, I know that I have a gagillion memories to hold on to forever and that no matter how far I might be I still have a family back in Thailand.


BTW, my brand new week old camera broke so I haven't been able to put fotos up.

Anywho I'm going to go get something to eat, the van jsut made a gas stop and my. Stomach growls to be filled with some substance.


So Adios Amigos!
