Last days in Thailand...




We're winding up our last day in Chiang Mai and our second to last day in Thailand. Today we spent the whole day at the best cooking school in Chiang Mai. It was amazing-- we went through 6 courses throughout the day, of course eating our creation after every single one. The school was really great, they started with a thorough intro to Thai ingredients, even telling us what we could substitute in our own countries if we couldn't find the exact thing. They gave me special substitutes for all of the meat dishes, too. We got cookbooks, too, so that we could recreate everything at home. SO good. At the end, I was so full I could barely walk!

Tonight we are taking an overnight bus (eek!) to Bangkok, where we plan to while away the day before we head to Bali tomorrow night. Bali! So excited. It's supposed to be amazing beaches, food, and people there. In fact, I've been warned a number of times how mezmerising the Balinese can be... Hmm....
