Hello everyone! Spent the last few days in Phuket picking up our luggage, hanging out with our TEFL instructors and eating in our favorite restaurant, known as "chicken place". I cannot even convey to you how amazing this place is. For less than a dollar you get the best chicken meal ever, Rach and I ate there at least once a day (sometimes for breakfast) while we lived in Phuket and have been talking about it since. Being reunited was greatm, the owners remembered us and tried to convince us (through our huge langauge barrier) we should move to Phuket Town. Rach and I printed out this picture for them, framed it and wrote "best chicken in Thailand" with a Thai translation for them. The woman actaully started crying when we left . So if we don't return to the states we may be at "chicken place" trying to learn the secrets of perfect chicken.

Now we are back in Bangkok...had a freakout moment today when we could not figure out a good way to ship our teaching stuff to Korea and realized we either had to carry it all overland or buy a plane ticket to Korea. We were pretty close to abandoning the overland plan even though we have been really excited since our British friends planted the idea in our heads. Luckily we came across a very nice UPS man, the only helpful person in the entire Thai shipping buisness, I am sure of it, we talked to a lot of them. After a couple hours we figured everything out, handed over a wad of cash and our stuff will be in Korea in 3 days, way ahead of us. Our plans were not crushed and so we decided to celebrate and relax (which is all we wanted to do after days of going non-stop) by going to see a movie at the mall. We had some time to kill before the movie and so we decided to eat some crazy food. First stop: KFC ( in Thailand it serves rice instead of mashed potatoes with meals. ) You can also find quite a concoction on their menu: Corn Sundae...whoever thought that was a good idea was wrong, but we had to give it a go. The sweet salty thing is good at times (like mango sticky rice) but corn and ice cream should never be served together. After that experience we decided to cleanse our palat with a MC rice burger....basically a burger with a bun made out of rice. McDonalds is never good (I actually cannot even recall the last time I ate there) and I wouldn't say this was any different...but how can you not try a burger with a rice bun????
Tomorrow we are out of here, I am ready for sure...I wonder if Cambodia puts corn in their sundaes???
