Another update according to my iPhone...
Last Saturday (July 26), Sam and Mark ventured through the countryside to the Cambodian border while I celebrated a special Buddha Day with our school's security guard, Long (I think it means 'uncle' in Thai). We're so Thai! I offered Buddha some Fanta (red is his favorite flavor as far as I can tell) and rambutan (the cool, spiky fruit you see on the plate here). Long prayed at the left spirit house and I was on the right.
My offering to Buddha!
Our pub quiz team is growing! Dan and Shea are some new friends in BKK. Both being Brits, our combined knowledge of UK/American culture led to a better ranking than most other Mondays, but we've still got some work to do.
We celebrated Mark's birthday last week with banana cupcakes and bubbly on the roof and then running off to a work dinner. The real celebration is this weekend - hopefully will have more photos to share next time :)

Selfie before dinner with the bosses. We went to The District at the Marriot near our apartment. Sam had a wagyu burger while I enjoyed the wagyu steak. Definitely a special treat!

The heavy rains here never cease to impress me. Yesterday, we couldn't even see the rest of the city through the thick blanket of rain.
What's better than bowling and a movie on a rainy Friday night? Winning a game of bowling! While none of us are champion bowlers, we still had a great run while waiting for showtime of Guardians of the Galaxy. As for my review of that, it was an entertaining story with very cool special effects. That genre isn't really my cup of tea. I'm waiting to go see The Fault in Our Stars.
love this post, especially the pic of you commuting!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to be riding that boat with me!!!
