Sisaket 4 on Tour!

This weekend we headed to nearby city Ubon Ratachani for the weekend. After a girly sleepover Friday night, Meg, Sian and I met up with Dan to get on our way. We travelled with one of the Chinese teachers I live with, an absolute legend called Cream. He insisted on paying for our train tickets and took us to our hotel before heading off to do his own thing in the city. Cream is really into music and we spent the train journey talking about our favourite singers and bands, his favourite being Craggy (Craig) David. So good.

Getting off the train - will never get used to walking straight over the train tracks to get to the other platform!

Saturday afternoon we had a look around a shopping centre looking for bargains and had a lush green curry! Sian managed to demonstrate her haggling skills to their full potential, offering a market stall trader 20 baht for a perfume spray and he knocked the price down to 5. Not really the way it is meant to work but who's gonna complain?! Then we headed out for a couple of drinks - was really good just to have a chilled out evening chatting rubbish and relaxing.

I am very lucky to have the other 3 living in my province - they are all at least a half hour drive away but its good to know someone is there! I definitely don't know what I would do without them I think we keep each other sane!!

Here is a little introduction to the others:

Sian
Competitive Uno player, M&M lover and my partner in crime being hungry all the time!

Meg
Mosquitoes love her, she is full after 2 mouthfuls of food and loves a good sing-song ;)

Dan
Adores taking photos of anything and everything, whiskey fiend and the world's worst vegetarian!

We have booked to visit Chiang Mai next weekend as we get Monday off school for the Queen's Birthday! Can't wait have heard so many good things!
