SO i really like Chang Mai. Really i completly different feel from Bangkok. Much more of a cultural city... you can get German, Thai, Mexican, Italian foods... nice change from just rice and noodles. People arnt all trying to rip you off or sell you everything, and they listen when you say no.
I was walking down the street the yesterday.... and there sitting on the corner in all of its delicious gloriousness, McDonalds. Dont judge me. Before i came on this trip I was also one of those westerners determined to experience every aspect of SE Asian Culture and scoffed at the other travlers clinging to their culture by eating the expensive "WESTERN BREAKFAST" instead of the cheap noodles like the real thia people. But there comes a point in a mans life when he just needs a freaking piece of cheese. How can a culture with such culinary apptitude miss the boat on the deliciousness that is cheese.. So yes i had my cheeseburger because at that point i was willing to trade my intergrity and traveler values for a piece of cheese... even if it was on a McD's burger.
Next to McD's was a massage parlor. I have never been the one for massages and have never had one... didnt really see the appeal. But this heat and walking everywhere can run you down... So decided to try it out. It was ORGASMIC.. but not in the Thai "Happy Ending" sort of way, strictly platonic (Happy Ending is where the little Thai ladies rub one out for you after the massage for a few extra baht..... sorry Asian ladies but your not really doing it for me.) But damn it was amazing.
Today me and Vida are taking a Thai cooking class that lasts all day... so will let you all know how it goes later.
I miss everyone and hope everyone had fun at Ann's party... wish i could have been there. Lots of love from Chang Mai.

We all had a great time at Ann's party even though it wasn't a surprise. Everyone missed you and wondered where you were. After telling them of your travels and the ping pong, they wondered if you had any pictures to post.Continue to have a good time and looking forward to see you when you get home.
mcdonalds doesn't even use real cheese... TRUST ME!
