Vaca:Entertainment

long overdue, I know


I give entertainment an A+




Theres lots to do and see in Thailand. You can choose to do the touristy stuff or find out what else they have available. I thought about taking a photog class that takes you around to sight see and learn how to photograph at the same time. Seemed like a wonderful idea but I found some other things I wanted to do instead.


In Chiang Mai we took an art class at a wonderful shop by the name of Noina's Art Studio. It was a peaceful and open establishment where you choose your medium and the amount of time you want to work. The cost is wonderful and it was one of the best things we did there.


We also took a cooking class at Siam Rice Thai Cookery School. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. When you go, take the entire day class as you get to cook and taste more things. You leave with a cook book of every available recipe. I would definitely do it again...and what they say is true-dont eat before you go. No matter how hungry you think you may be.


We also did some off roading in dune buggies which was fun. The place also has some other fun things you can do if interested. That was my first time doing something like that and I enjoyed it.


We also watched a muay thai boxing match which was SOOOO MUCH FUUUUUN. It was a little strange because they began with little kids so you dont know whether to root for them or be enraged,lol. The girls fight was the best. (link not of the actual fight we saw)

We didnt do anything with elephants or monkeys-didnt want to get dirty. But we did go to Tiger Kingdom and went in with the second to smallest tigers (not the bottle feeding babies but next up in size). Based on how it looks in Bangkok, Im glad we went in Chiang Mai.


hmmmm. what else?


Id call shopping entertainment and we did lots of it. Ill have to post pics of what we got. Most of it was a steal. I felt guilty for how much I paid for some artwork that I loved because it was so cheap. Handling the market was fun and good for a night out because you dont know what you will find.


We did most of our activities in Chiang Mai. In Bangkok our only entertainment was the malls, which was great. Of course, there is a lot of available adult entertainment that you cant help but see because theyre shoving pamplets in your face as they describe the types of shows they want you to see. You will say no 50 times walking down a street...unless of course you decide to say yes.


And with that said, when you take a cab, they will take you to places where they get a kickback for bringing tourists. We asked for a restaurant and he took us to the "gay district" and told us we could have entertainment after we ate. I was so confused as Im pretty sure we look like a regular heterosexual couple and all we wanted was some food!
If you want to have a massage or to do something recreational, ask someone who wont be transporting you (ie hotel concierge) as you will get less costly options. . .and if you are staying in multiple cities and are counting your baht, do your activities in the cheaper city.Im so glad we did.

This will do

So I just havent made it around to making a video of the place.Part of that is because my phone, which had the great camera on it,is no longer.And leave it to me to buy a cute phone with a horrible camera.yes, I have a camera with video but its just too much hassle.At least I think so. And because Im supposed to be honing my craft, I decided to post my place in pictures. Enjoy. My color palette all these switches for one little bathroom no tv. . .yet just the two of us! I love this contraption,lol and on the off times that this occurs. . . I just use my teacher dry erase marker,lmbo So,so glad to finally be clutter free! cleaning takes one day a week besides the every other day of sweeping bc its super dusty here.I have ONE pile of stuff left and thats only because I need a book shelf.Thats coming soon.

Paradise?

So Ive been thinking about a move to Reem Island  . Not because I have a bad place (I dont) or because Im in a bad location (Im not),but because we plan on being here long term and this place has much more of a home feel as there are so many amenities there. The only drawback is the the location, which is also nice as far as I know right now. Only thing is its too close to Tourist Club and thats not a place I care for too much. And if the link above doesnt convince someone maybe the future plans  will! We have all that we would need to stay there pretty much and this place has...drumroooooooollllll-CLOSETS! Once of them even a walk in. It may sound like it but I dont have my hopes up and Im not even excited about it at this point. Im just looking at my options.This would be the one and only time youd catch me living on an island. My only requirement? That I live on a  bottom lower level floor. Should be an easy enough request as most people want to be higher...

Braces in the UAE

This has been a long time coming. Ive wanted braces since forever. At home it wasnt in the budget.Here, the first year went by and I decided that if I didnt get them this year, I would probably keep putting it off. So I start the process of looking. Requirements? clean,efficient,KNOWLEDGEABLE, affordable. That was pretty much what I wanted. After some searching, I realized that I couldn't pay 25000 dirham...didn't really want to pay 14000 but would if I had to...and then I came across an  ortho place  in Dubai. hmmmmmm. Dubai? Perks were: no down payment,500 dh each visit, retainer included. I was in. So I called and went hoping against all hope that it would be more than the regular consultation because Id driven from Abu Dhabi! Fortunately, they xrayed me and told me about the process a bit. I didn't know what to ask so I took my  papers after signing to the "deal" and went home with the biggest grin ever on my face. I WAS GETTING BRACES! And then I...
