February 13

We landed in Thailand today… it’s a completely different world here.  Everything is so foreign, and amazing.  I love it so much. On our way home from the airport we rode in the back of a truck, and passed by fields and rivers; pretty much it was exactly like anything you see of Asia(the parts that aren’t actually in the huge cities) on shows like the Amazing Race, or something like that.  We’re living at a YWAM base here… they have a dorm-type apartment building that the have for outreach teams.  There’s a massive market right by our house too… it’s so cool!  They have pretty much everything you could imagine there – and everything is super cheap, it’s awesome.

I think the weirdest experience so far here has been eating.  Because we have no idea what anything is, and obviously can’t even try to figure out the menus like we did in Mexico.  So the only thing we ever have to look at is the pictures… but so far it’s worked out pretty okay.

Also, really weird thing… I keep trying to speak to all the market vendors and pretty much everyone else too in Spanish, even though a lot of them do at least speak a little bit of English.  It’s such a weird experience, because I’ve never thought that I would try to speak to people in Spanish before I tried to speak to people in English before.
