It's Christmas!!! haha. I can't believe it's christmas...it's so surreal to me. It doesn't feel like it being thousands of miles away but it helps that I have amazing friends here. We all woke us this morning at the marriot early. Maybe its just a thing about christmas you automatically wake up early, I don't know but we did. After a wonderful breakfast buffet, we all headed to Pratunam to shop. Even though we are in a primarlily buddhist country christmas is still very much around. Decorations and many different types of christmas trees were everywhere around the city. Ones made of coke cans and another made of CD's. So even though I was away from home, it was comforting to see the christmas spirit around town. After shopping we watch the movie 'Australia'. It was such a good movie, but it made me cry so much. It was quite a long movie, so after we decided we should find a place to eat. We decided that christmas night would be our chance to go to the Hard Rock Cafe.
It felt good being in a familiar restaurant and not to mention the food was so good! Outside the restaurant stood a giant pink christmas tree with giant presents all around. We took the opportunity and took some holiday photos with each other. I honestly thought that christmas here wouldn't be a big deal, and even though we spontaneously went through the day it ended up being a great day!!
