1. All the English camps. Thanks to Esther (our agent), we had so many opportunities to teach outside of our small school.
2. Wat Nong Bua. On a random exploration day, Erin and I visited Wat Nong Bua; a very beautiful temple in Ubon.
3. Song Tao rides to the supermarket. Before we got a motorbike, grocery shopping was done via song tao. The sip baht (10) ride got us from A to B and back ;]
4. Exploring the moon river neighborhood. On a random afternoon, Erin and I took a walk down my the moon river and walked through the 'slums' of Ubon.
5. Hanging out with the 'nurses'. During a Thai festival, a group of female nurses befriended Erin and I. They showed us around the moon river and told us about the festival.
6. Loy Kratong. In November, the festival called Loy Kratong filled the moon river with floating candles. During this, Erin and I both had a chance to raise our own fire lantern into the sky.
7. Belgium backpackers. Long story, but the night ended with Erin and I escaping an awkward situation with the two guys from Belgium.
8. Exercising/Smoothies. After exercising in the park, we'd visit our smoothie lady and enjoy a orange/lemon smoothie.
9. Hanging out with Charles. One of our Thai friends, and one of the few not awkward situations.
10. Hair Salon. Amanda introduced us to this hair salon. The best hair washing I've ever had.
11. Riding the motorbike w/ Amanda. Never thought it could happen, but yes we fit, all three of us on the motorbike.
12. Eating out w/ Amanda. There wasn't much to do in Ubon, so our hang outs always ended with us eating out. lol.
13. Learning to drive. Amanda taught Erin and I to drive the motorbike before she left.
14. Eating Italian. The best non-Thai food in Ubon. I'm pretty sure we were their best customers ;]
15. Watching movies in Thai. Ubon's lack of English, forced us to oblige and watch a few films in Thai. Some not worth it, but one was actually good.
16. Songkran. One of the most fun holidays I have ever experienced. Literally a giant water fight. So much fun!
17. Cruising town. Post getting the motorbike, our trips to town were a little more free. We mapped out our own route to the supermarket and Starbucks, which involved the back roads; always an interesting experience.
18. Sun-baking. A day dedicated to getting dark, or sometimes very very sun burn. lol.
19. Getting coffee by the park. Two very nice ladies used to serve us at this coffee shop, they make a very good iced mocha.
20. Living off of 7-eleven. When there's no where to go and nothing to do, 7-eleven was always there. lol.
