Today I slept in a little bit and enjoyed my queen sized bed. Around 11:00 I dragged myself out of my hotel, having texted everyone I knew asking if they wanted to spend time with me. I walked a little ways before I came upon a small Som Tum shop. Of course I dug in. After I was done with lunch, I grabbed a motorcycle taxi and went to the local university, Silpakorn. Mew, my friend who I had spent time with last night, studies here. I went and spent her lunch with her and her friend, Wen. The three of us wandered around campus, talking, and enjoying the Wednesday market they have. Around 2:00, Mew has to go and study for her exams. She left me at the market, and I walked around a little, enjoying the weather, and watching the fish. I slowly wandered back to my hotel, and relaxed a little before heading out to eat. I stopped my a place called Tokyo cafe, where they sell sushi and other such Japanese food. It was delicious.
Today was a little lonely, but the past few days have been very busy, so it was nice to take a day off.
