Farang Quiz Night

Alright so many of you probably don't know this...but every other Thursday in Surat Thani is Farang Quiz night at one of the bars in town. I go to quiz ever time (unless my bike is broken or it's raining cats and dogs). Quiz is a blast even though I usually don't know many of the answers. Topics usually include: music, movies, and random knowledge (geography, history, etc.). You play on a team of 4 people and it costs 50baht ($1.50) a person to play, winning team gets the cash. I am usually on a random team of people who just got there (so we always suck).

Last Thursday (the 16th) I got to be on Paul, Kelsey, and Joels' team, they had won the previous 2 quizzes. At the half-way point we were in the lead and pretty confident we were going to keep it. Then we got to the second half of the quiz...it was terrible! We did alright at the music portion, but we were clueless on most of the art questions and who said which quote. At the end of the quiz we were pretty sure we had fallen to second place if not further.

Surprisingly, we won the quiz by exactly 10 points! I finally won a quiz and took home 395 baht($13)...I think I'm about even now with my losses :)
