Day the Third

Changing up the self-explanatory titles.  Oh yeah!
So first day in Chanthaburi.  I had delicious khao with bped for breakfast (that's rice with duck for you non Thailanders) and really sour soup with some kind of gourd in it.  Preaw and I watched half of Black Hawk Down (English with Thai subs) and half of Kate and Leopold (Thai, no subs), while waiting for Pun (I think, who is my younger brother) to get up, he skipped school because he had a bad headache and for Maa and Por to come back from work for lunch (they can do this because the shop is like right outside the front door).
For lunch we went to a noodle shop that is famous in Chanthaburi and ate, you guessed it noodles!  We also had corn bread, which was more corn than bread and the strangest texture of corn I've ever had, and a Thai dessert which was some kind of coconut cream and jelly cake thing with corn.

The restaurant is in the background.

Then us girls headed to Streemandapitak school to get my uniform.  On the way, we stopped at the hospital to visit a sick Rotarian and meet all the other Rotarians, who were also visiting.  I met the other exchange student, a girl form Quebec named Audrey.  She came with us to get her uniform as she will be at the same school.  I start school on Friday, with a half day and then my first full day is on Monday.
We went home and I got a tour of the shop and learned some more Thai.
Then we went out for dinner at a seafood place by the sea.  Had crab, shrimp. squid, seafood fried rice, white rice and garlic chicken.  The meal reiterated to me my disdain of  eating things with eyes still attached.  I had the opportunity to look into the eyes of the shrimp that I was eating.
By then I was really tired, and I slept in the car on the way home.

I keep forgetting to mention that I was given a Thai name and a Thai nickname.  My name in Thai is Wanida and my Thai nickname is Bpin.

A few observations before I go to sleep:
There are dogs walking around all over the place here
Mickey Mouse, Stitch, Disney, Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty are big here
American Standard is a big company here
and Hospitals are depressing in any language
