days of constant, all day thai massage is WAY too much! My body is so sore from thumbs, heels, elbows and knees being pressed into every possible muscle (for those who dont know, thai massage is more like a beating than a relaxing rub). For our exam we have to demonstrate a two hour massage of the entire body. We have a chart of min and max times for each part of the body (ex. a head massages should take a minimum of 1 minute,a max of 2 minutes) and we will be timed on each section! There was also a written test today...

We are celebrating with a swim at one of the student's pools, dinner then drinks at THC. I am
secretly going to celebrate by treating myself to a piece of chocolate cake! I eat pretty much only thai food (breakfast is interesting...pickled cabbage, rice, sweet boiled eggs, mushrooms and rice...) and have given up coffee/tea since it usually costs more than my whole meal...so this cake is a big deal! :)
Found an AWESOME yoga studio that is really cheap and wicked! Nice! Been there twice and it feels sooo good! Plus one of the guys that goes there is a student at the massage school and is going to teach me how to ride a motorcycle! Im super excited because it will give me so much more freedom to travel around and see places outside of the city! (I just need to wrap my head around driving on the wrong side of the street) My first trip will be to Doi Suthep mountain...
Saturday Im at Banan Piranan with Ben and sunday Im kayaking the Mae Taeng River. Thinking about doing a thai cooking course...
