Belated Beginnings

It's always nice to start at the begining, but sometimes that just doesnt happen.

Day 11, Cooking Thai:

Today our Thai language course made a field trip to the market, to gather ingredients for our morning lesson: cooking Thai!
To say the least: a list of thai ingredients looks to me like a list of incomprehensible sounds and finding these ingredients becomes that much harder when you realise that not only are the names foriegn so are the foods themselves. (Solution = Ask a Thai) The highlights of the trip were photo oppurtunities with meat (pig heads, hearts, intestines and the like) -photos to come soon- and my most favorite moment was watching a butcher be taken out (knocked completely onto his ass) by a giant rat. I promptly bought a shopping bag full of raw chicken from this unfortunate fellow.
