What's the Point of a Book without Pictures?!!?

Orientation II:
Revenge of the Language Barrier

Here are some more pictures from this past weekend in Lampang.

...22 wacky kids from around the globe in one hotel for 4 days.

I smell a reality show.

This is Tim.

Tim is from Taiwan.
In Taiwan they speak Chinese.
Out of 21 exchange students, not a single person spoke Chinese.

Poor Tim.

Despite this, Tim manages to keep a HUGE (I'm talkin Fuccillo huge here..) smile on his face. (pictured left)

We loved Tim.

BEFORE FAT WORMS

This is from our market escapade on the first day. The great thing about the markets here is that they let you taste pretty much anything before you buy it...including the fried insects.

We decided that if we were going to partake in the insect eating, we might as well do it together and in a pose for a picture.

AFTER FAT WORMS

This is not a very attractive picture...

But eating a fat worm isn't a very attractive concept either.

This is (almost all of) us posing with Mr. Coal in the Coal Museum.

There were all these videos that featured Mr. Coal where he told us about how coal was made millions of years ago in broken English.

Let it also be known that Mr. Coal has the voice of a asthmatic 2 yr old with a sinus infection.

After the museum, we went grass sledding on large pieces of plastic.

The hill was pretty intense, however it would have been more exhilarating if it had been covered in snow.

Face Painting!

Not just for kids anymore, it works on exchange students too!

Pictured here: Camilo from Columbia (Mexican forehead, American eye, and Columbian cheeks), some random chick (Brazillian left eye, Alaskan cheek, Mexican chin, and German nose), and Sarah from Germany (Columbian forehead and America all over the place).

"Oh I don't know some flowers, a fresh coat of paint, a couple of throw pillows...." *

*Awesome-points and a thai lesson go to the person who recognizes this quote.

Two german girls.

See the one on the left? Yeah the one with her mouth open.

That's my roommate.

Lampang is pretty!!!!

Elephants....

... are awesome.

I promise to write something substantial next time. Hope you liked the pics!!
