Chiang Mai

I am feeling SO much better!! Relieved and glad the sickness is behind me. Jesse and I flew from Saigon to Chiang Mai a few days ago. It is really nice to be in a smaller city after hectic HCMC and Phnom Penh.

Today we took a cooking class which was hilarious. The instructor spoke in a mono-tone voice the whole time & was pretty funny. First we went to the market to pick up fresh ingredients. Then we cooked! I made Green Curry, Stir-fried Chicken with Basil, Pad Thai Noodles, Hot & Sour Prawn soup and Spicy Glass Noodle Salad. We also ate everything we made so now I am stuffed! Took some of the glass noodle salad to eat for dinner b/c I could not finish it.

Tomorrow we are heading out on a 3 day/2 night trek. We will be staying with a hill tribe family for the first night & camping the second night. I am very excited - the guide we are using seems really legit, a true eco-trek instead of a touristy experience. The guide's name is Tee but I keep calling him Pee by accident. And the company he works for is Pooh! haha
