Trang weekend

Last weekend I went to Trang with the faculty for one of their seminars. When we got there we found out that the meeting was all in Thai so Collin and I got to just relax in the hotel. We got to the hotel on Saturday at dinner time which has some awesome food. I had a roommate for about 10 minutes before i found out that she was actually going to stay at her family house instead. Then I was relaxing in the room, taking a shower, with the door fully locked and bared when there's suddenly someone trying to get into the room. My second roommate scared me! She was a sweet girl who after I got dressed invited me to go out with her friends to a pub. We had what the Thai's called 'the blue' drink which was good...but really weak. Thai people do not put a lot of alcohol in their mixed drinks.

On Sunday Collin and I went to the very beginning of the seminar where they played games but since all the instructions were in Thai we just watched them run around. Then after lunch we were told we didn't have to go to the rest of the seminar. I went back to my room and took a short nap and then decided to walk around the city. I ran into Collin in the lobby so he decided to join me. We discovered that on Sunday almost EVERYTHING is closed and since the beach was an hour away we were out of things to do. On our way back to the hotel we decided to stop in the V mart and buy a bottle of whiskey and some soda water to drink at the pool. We spent the rest of the afternoon swimming and drinking until dinner. After dinner they made Collin and I sing some Karaoke, I actually talked instead of sang. Then we all relaxed until 11. At 11pm me, Collin, and a bunch of the other teachers went to the night club attached to the hotel. We all danced and drank and had a good time until 2am. When I got back to my hotel room I found that I had ANOTHER roommate!

On Monday we went to the sea and went on a boat trip to 4 different snorkeling places. I still don't like snorkeling because I keep inhaling water...grrrrrr! At the first stop we went in this cave where we had to hold onto each others life vests (uncomfortable) and be pulled through. We wound up at this really cool lagoon in the middle of the island. The only way there was the little cave since it was a limestone island that is just a giant piece of limestone coming out of the water. At the second stop the water was really deep so after lunch I jumped off the top of the 2 story boat. The Thai people kept freaking out cause they were scared for me since most of them can't swim and I don't like life vests.

Overall the weekend was fun but it would have been better if the city wasn't so boring.
