I am also in a new apartment as of yesterday, and said goodbye to all the other exchange students except Charnice as of yesterday. A group of about twenty of us went to Khao San last night to go out with a bang. We hung out at one of the open air bars for awhile, then went to Gazebo to dance the night away. At the end of the night I said goodbye to my friends, which was sad. Yet with the miracles of facebook and availability of international travel, I feel sure I'll see some of them again. Especially Nathalie and Joyce, since I promised them I'd go to Sweden and Amsterdam, respectively, within the next five years. So, I've got a destination and goal to start planning for.
Today, Charnice and I were going to go to Koh Samet for one night, but we ended up not waking up until noon. So the plan now is to chill the rest of the day, then leave very early tomorrow morning, spend Sunday on the beach, and then come back early Monday morning so I can keep working on the project (due to the insane policy of closing the computer lab on the weekends, I can't work on it today or tomorrow anyway). Koh Samet is an island about 2.5 hours away by bus...not the weeklong sojourn in Krabi and Koh Phi Phi we had originally envisioned, but one last day of beaching it up in Thailand before we leave will be lovely nonetheless.
And, because I discovered today that I have 1,389 pictures (i.e. >1 GB) from Thailand on my hard drive, here's some for your enjoyment:
Khao San Road last night
The bridge we had to walk over every day to get to Chula from the old apartment.
Professor Kennedy, Charnice and I in front of the engineering school at Chula.
The Bangkok skyline at dusk, from the rooftop terrace at my friend Salilla's apartment building.
Dude! The D&D Inn?! You found the mythical starting location of basically every campaign ever!
