"Ouch Cha-lie, that really hurt"

Wow what a day. I'm on the brink of falling asleep but I really wanted to get this done before I do. So this morning I worked my favorite project yet. I got to shadow a speech pathologist at the hospital and watch her with 3 different patients. One was a small girl who she thinks has brain damage. She was so cute but no matter how hard we tried to teach her that the square peg goes in the square hole she kept putting it in the circular hole. After shadowing the doctor brought me and another volunteer out to lunch and we got pad thai...from Thailand! It was so exciting getting something I've heard of before. It was really good but mine was crab pad thai and a little fishy. Then she took us out to ice cream and it was this green soupy mixture (I later found out was coconut milk) with some green ice cream and a chunk of ice in it. It tasted kind of like soap but I guess I like soap because it was good. After that I came back to the house and prepared for this week's adventures! We caught a bus to Chaing Mai and it was a beautiful ride. It was three hours but it went by so fast. I saw parts that looked like the jungle, I saw the sun set over the rice paddies with the reflection shining in the water. I tried to get pictures but since we were on a bus they didn't really turn out. When we got to Chaing Mai we got a flight to Phuket where I am right now. The flight was funny. I sat between an awesome girl from my trip named Ryleigh and this British guy. He was talking to his friend who was sitting across the way and their accents were outrageous! I loved it. Ryleigh and I kept looking at each other when they would say stuff like "pissin on our accents" and "chap." She told me I should ask them to say "Charlie bit my finguh" (you tube sensation for those of you out of the loop) so...I did. I was reading the in flight magazine and there was an ad for Britain's got Talent so first I asked if they watch it..I thought I was so hilarious and I was just laughing to myself. Then I asked them about their accent and tried to do it but they just laughed and sayed it was horrible. I asked them to do the Charlie bit my finger thing but they just thought it was funny because they had never heard of it. (Probably because a baby speaking in an American accent wouldn't be funny in America...or we're just weirdos in the US). I spent awhile joking to them about their slang and their accents. It was fun, I talked to the guy a lot about "Uni" and he's in med school so he told me a bit about that. They were cool dudes. I'm glad they were good sports about all my teasing too. Anyway so we just spent an hour and a half in the van from the airport trying to find our hostel so I'm going to try to get to bed soon. We're staying at the Phuket backpacker hostel. It seems sooooo sick but more time to explore tomorrow. Must...sleep...
