We arrived in Bangkok pretty early and after dumping our stuff at the hotel, we went back to MBK. Te traffic was really bad so we were stuck in a boiling taxi for over an hour- not nice! We had another subway (this is becoming way to common :P ) and ten had a wonder round. Emily, McAll and Josh went to meet their family friend and me and Si headed back to the hotel and grabbed some dinner. When the others came back, me, Emily, McAll and josh went for some drinks on Koh San. The next morning we had to get up super early to get to our cooking course- "cooking with poo". After finally finding a taxi that would go on the meter, and getting the sky train, we got picked up by the cooking course people. We were in a mini bus with some hilarious but lovely people from Texas. The called us "gappys" and one hilarious quote- "we say estrogen and they say oestrogen." "oestrogen? What is that in English?!"
Before actually doing some cooking, we got taken to a local market where they bought the fresh ingredients- it was pretty interesting to see. Then we went back to Poos house and bade Tom Yum soup, fried chicken with garlic and duck laap. All were so yummy and easier and quicker to make than I expected. For pudding they brought rambatans and sticky rice with mango and coconut milk! :) after the cooking course we met Lyn (Emily and Emily's family friend) and she showed us around a school her friend works at and the slum areas which was really interesting. We then went back to the hotel and got our stuff for posting. Luckily the post office have a packing bit too so we didn't have to do anything before we got there. Despite sending lots of stuff home, my bag is still completely full!! We then went for another (this is actually getting terrible now) subway and then headed to the train station to get an overnight train to Chumpon so we could get to Ko tao.
