We had been planning to take the kids out for dinner and to the market, but Suradet said we'd tired them out already. (However, some of us have a sneaking suspicion it was partially because they were tired and partially because they all had indigestion. After how much they'd eaten at our "feast" - the group of Jonathan, Sam, Entorn, Somchai, Bee, and Fruk ate six plates of chicken by themselves - we wouldn't have been surprised.) Thim, boy Bee, and Nut were able to come with us though.
We went to Suradet's favourite restaurant, where all the teens/kids opted to get fries. I think rice sickness is setting in!
After that was our first night market, one created more for locals. Though we did spot seven white people there (it's like a game for us here - spot the white people). Ruth Anne offered 20 baht (about $0.70) to whoever spotted the first white person, and Heidi and I now own cute owl keychains to prove we did :)
The market was large, but with very tiny pathways packed with people. Every food stall we passed brought a new smell, and the air was sticky even at 9pm. The experience itself however, was great. Though someone did try to pickpocket me. I don't keep anything in my back pocket, so I got the last laugh.
Now we're all exhausted, and everyone is in bed as I write this. It's almost 11pm, and we have to be up 5am for devotions! Pray for us! Haha.
