Last Monday!

Ohhh Monday’s! My last Monday as a volunteer in Asia! It was a typical day at the orphanage, holding crying babies and changing diapers (ha). There is a new volunteer here, Kristina from Australia who will be here for a week and is then spending 3 weeks traveling Thailand! I didn’t get a ton of time to talk to her, but she is a physiotherapist and was able to get time off from her job. She said she traveled the world for about 3 years (she was able to work back home for about 6 weeks to earn enough money to travel again for 3 months, so on and so on) but now has a permanent job in Australia!

I have two favorite babies, Caymen who is I think 2 (he can walk and make sounds) and he is my little porker! Today I was trying to take him for a walk and the worker said something about him not running. At first I thought he was hurt, but then I think she meant he was too fat to run! My other favorite is a little baby who’s name starts with an S but it’s so long! He’s a cutie, although today he was very cranky!

Prachit brought us back to the hostel and booked us a dinner and dancing show for tomorrow night. Krista didn’t come to the boxing match on Friday since she wanted to wait for her friend so she ended up going tonight and I think Kristina went with her!

Ely had been trekking all day, so when he got back I met the boys at their hostel to figure out a place for dinner. We decided to go back to the Riverside (where we went with Ashley before boxing) because it was so good, classy (last night out!) and the menu is about 3,985 pages long! It really is a great restaurant AND we had the same waiter. They also had a live band so we ended up staying there for a while! Since it was their last night in Chiang Mai, we decided we all had to splurge and get a massage! They opted for the Thai, and I went for oil and it was well needed!

Hugs and kisses from my last Monday!
