Orientation is over, but Steph & I can't go to Rayong because our apartment is being painted. So yesterday we jumped on a 9 hour bus ride north to Chiang Mai. The bus ride was anything but uncomfortable. It was like flying. There was an attendant, a meal, & televisions playing American movies that went straight to DVD. It seems like Asians love America's terrible movies, especially ones with animals and Brendan Fraser. The bus drove through the night & we slept through the night.
Once we arrived in Chiang Mai we were greeted by another CIEE participants coordinator. "Are you Kelissa?", he said. "No, she will be here in 45 minutes", replied Steph.
We told him we knew her & we sat down & started chatting. The gentleman politely offered to give us a ride from the bus station to Jai Dii house, our hostel.
Our hostel was very comforting at first glance. It was opened 8 months ago by some beanpole Frenchman and his Thai girlfriend. I immediately went to he bathroom & sat down to take care of some business & saw a sign that said, "DONT USE TOILET PAPER, USE BIDET." I quickly concluded that the bidet was the culprit of the wet floor.
I had never used a bidet before, so you can imagine how it went. If you can't imagine how it went I will tell you. It was a disaster! I walked out of the bathroom soaking wet.
