Thursday night, after the big meal, Phet and I met up with Lek, a girl from church to go to the Mekong Friendship Festival. It's a celebration of all the countries that border the Mekong River, China, Burma, Laos ad Thailand. It was a big festival, complete with what appeared to be used fair rides, traditional dances and fried bugs. They had everything from different artisans from those countries to people selling fake Prada. Lek, Phet and I had a fun time, the highlight was when we played this game where you paid 10 Baht to "go fishing" and you pulled a plastic egg out of this little kiddy pool and it had a number on it and the number correlated with a prize. I pulled out 16 and got this incredibly lumpy pillow with movie stars on both sides! So lucky!!
Thai Phrase of the Day- Duan naa dichan ca pay khao lak, klay talee. Next month I will go to Khao Lak, near the ocean.
**If the letters c, k, p don't have an h behind them, they are un-aspirated, meaning you say them without really pushing any air out of your mouth. The "p" in "pay" sounds a lot like a "b" like in spaghetti.
Jesus is rad quote of the day - Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men in possible with God."
