Christmas abroad

Its Christmas Eve and I am at the movie theatre listening to Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas. We are going to see 47 ronin. Nui said she wanted to see it so I proposed we go watch it yesterday and she was all for it. We bought tickets and for 4 tickets it was just under $11 and the theaters here are really nice. Yet another reason to love Thailand. 

Today I hung out with Mae. She doesn't speak a lot of English and is always going off in Thai knowing I have no idea what she is saying. The funny thing is most the time I can figure out. She is pretty good at charades. It was fun. I really love the family. I am kind if sad to be leaving in just over a day. I am excited to see new things but they have made it more than comfortable while I was here and I have no clue what I would do if they weren't here. 

I will get to see them again briefly in about 10 days again as I will be meeting up with Jared in Bangkok then flying down south to climb. 

It's Christmas Day and I just got some doing my shopping. Talk about procrastinating. It's been a low key Christmas. Woke up and played on my computer until I got to talk to my family this morning. It was good to talk to and see everyone or at least those I got to see. Then we went out and did the shopping I needed to do. Smiley helped me get gifts for everyone. Then smiley and I got Christmas massages and are headed for suki for dinner with the family. I will give them gifts after dinner. 

Tea after the massage. You wear fisherman clothes when getting massages. 

Dinner was great and we got Swensens after. It was a great Christmas. It was nice being with people I love. Tomorrow is Indonesia.
