First Weekend!

Well I just wanted to post these pics from last week. We went to explore the small town of Phichit. We found some ruins about 45 minutes away by bike and they were really cool! The bike ride wasn't that fun because I am a tall person on a midget's bike but whenever we go out in public, everyone yells "HELLO!!!" at us because there aren't many white people in this town. Whenever people say hello to us they always laugh really hard when we say hello back because I guess it's really funny or something. We think they laugh because either we are stupid Americans or because their hello is so formal accompanied with a bow and our hello is very casual with a wave. 

We brought a Pad Thai picnic with us to the ruins and it was the best thing I have tasted in this country. It's a dollar for a plate and it is amazing.

I forget what else happened because it was a week ago. Ha ha sorry. 

A temple. There are a million in this country. Brace yourself for pictures to come. This one is in the outskirts of Phichit.

Biking through the Phichit Ruins.

Another temple.

A Buddha. Also very common.

After I took this, a monk tried to get us to leave but we didn't know what he was saying.

Oh! P.S. Speaking of not knowing what people were saying, when we were at the ruins, a Thai man came up to us and was going on and on and we had now idea what he was saying and we tried to show him that we were stupid Americans but he kept talking to us for like 8.5 minutes.

Also, whenever we go in public, we try to talk to people but we only speak English and they only speak Thai so each person just talks really loud and slow in their own language and both people act confused. Its especially frustrating when we are trying to buy something or ask for help.

XOXO,
