Last Friday Night - Katie Perry

It's hard to really "get" the movie The Hangover II unless you've been to Bangkok. I didn't realize this until just recently. Allie, I'm thinking unless you want to miss the wedding, Bangkok isn't the place for your bachelorette... This city literally swallows you whole and spits you back out - a stark change of pace from the days at Mercy.

I spent Friday with my new friend Lauren. From our clothing choices, to our favorite topics of conversation, to our obsession with proper grammer in text messages - we are oddly similar. Friday afternoon I headed over to her place, on the other side of the city, to make plans for the night. ((She's moving this week to a new place very close to by, for a new job, yesss!!))

We had such a good time going out, meeting new people and I even spoke French with some new French friends. The next day we took it easy, wandering around her neighborhood and when we went our seperate ways we planned to go back out again that night. This is how I know we are so similar. While I was thinking, "I just want to go to bed at 8pm" she was texting it. After a nice long nights sleep, I feel refreshed and ready to take on my Sunday. Perhaps some reading in the park, a long walk in Lumpini and maybe even a return to my pool for some laps.

Ben's back today from Sri Lanka. I know the boys are excited because when they saw me at Mercy this morning, from their roof of Mercy 2 they started screaming, "Alex! Hi! Alexxxx!!!" quickly followed by some mumbling and then "P-Ben!!! Bennnnnnn!!!" Haha. Wow, I love those boys, I need to get back over there to see them.

Time to enjoy this glorious Sunday in Bangkok.

PeaceLoveRedLipstick.
